This left-hand-drive American-built 1996 E-One Liquidator (N817 CAJ) was acquired
from Statoil, Norway, and first registered in the UK in September 1999. It is powered
by a 15-litre Detroit diesel. An Allis-Chalmers 6,000USgpm pump and a 300USgpm foam
pump are installed, and it carries 800USgals of foam but no water. A Williams Six
Gun 6,000USgpm monitor is mounted on top and the pump can also supply 2 x 6in and
6 x 2.5in outlets. Due to the force of the water that can be delivered, the appliance
is fitted with hydraulically operated legs to prevent it toppling over when operated
at full capacity.
The E-One Liquidator is claimed to be the largest capacity industrial fire appliance
in the world today and only two have been built. This one is at Wilton and the other
is in Kentucky, USA.
It carries no water but has a 1,000USgal foam tank and 250kg dry powder installation.
A Williams Patriot 2 (foam/dry powder) 2,000USgpm monitor is installed on the roof.
