What’s On Board Emergency Response Trucks?
Our truck is stocked with specialized equipment, designed for a swift and safe response to even the most complex incidents:
🔹 Containment & Absorbents
OTS (Open Top Steel) and OTP (Open Top Plastic) Drums: Used to contain and transport leaking or compromised containers safely. These are critical for safely handling chemicals, acids, and petroleum products by securely enclosing damaged containers or consolidating loose material.
Absorbent Pads (White and Gray) and Boom: White absorbents are hydrophobic, specifically designed for oil-based spills, while gray absorbents are all-purpose, used for both water and oil-based liquids. Booms surround larger spills, like diesel or oil on water, to prevent spread and assist in containment.
Stakes: Used to secure booms and absorbent barriers in outdoor, flowing environments to control the spread of a spill. Ideal for roadways and waterways where spills need anchoring to stay contained.
Chemical Tote Transfer Kits: Essential for transferring hazardous liquids from damaged totes, preventing leaks and further contamination. This is particularly useful in high-risk spills involving acids and flammables.
🔹 Full Protection Gear
SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) with Masks: Critical for high-hazard spills involving gases, acids, and volatile chemicals. This gear provides clean, breathable air, protecting responders from inhaling toxic vapors.
FR Suits (Flame-Resistant Suits): Worn during flammable material spills to protect responders from flash fire risks. Used in environments where petroleum-based products or other combustibles are present.
Nitrile and Acid Gloves, Dust Masks, and Boot Covers: These items are essential for hand and respiratory protection when dealing with chemicals like acids, oil, and potentially hazardous dust. Acid gloves are specifically designed for corrosive materials, while nitrile gloves handle general chemical spills.
🔹 Heavy-Duty Tools & Equipment
Impact Guns and Drum Tippers: Impact guns assist with opening and securing drum lids, while drum tippers facilitate the safe pouring and transport of heavy liquid containers, reducing spill risk and improving efficiency during cleanup.
HEPA Vacuum Kits: Used in incidents involving dry materials or fine particles that could be hazardous if inhaled, such as chemical dust or residues left by spilled substances. HEPA vacuums prevent the spread of airborne contaminants.
50′ Extension Cords: Provides flexibility in accessing on-the-go power, which is essential for operating equipment at a spill site, especially if located far from power sources.
🔹 Specialized Cleaners & Chemicals
Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate: Both are neutralizing agents, with citric acid used to counteract basic spills and sodium bicarbonate for acidic spills. They provide a first line of defense in neutralizing hazardous substances, making them safer for handling.
Degreasers and Oil Dry: Degreasers break down oil, grease, and similar residues, while oil dry absorbs oil and fuel-based materials. Both are crucial for oil, fuel, and greasy substance spills on solid surfaces.
🔹 Grounding & Containment
Grounding Rods and Cables: These are used to prevent static buildup when dealing with volatile or flammable liquids. They ensure safe grounding of equipment to reduce ignition risks during cleanup.
Chem-Tape: A versatile containment material used for sealing and patching leaking containers and creating secure barriers around spill sites, especially with volatile or acidic materials.
