The QTAC™ 85HP packs a ton of firefighting capability into a compact package for both fire professionals and private property owners. Whether you pull it with a QTAC HDT or XDT trailer, mount it on a professional-grade UTV, or load it into a pickup, it has all the capacity and power you’ll need.
Here’s just a quick look at some of the jobs the 85HP is uniquely suited for:

If you’ve got a lot of ground to cover for mop-up, perimeter control, or the suppression of spot fires, and you have the vehicle capacity to handle its wet weight, there’s no better choice than the 85HP.
For instance, if you’re on a job where you need to switch between water and retardant foam applications, the 85HP is a great partner for the Scotty Around-The-Pump Foam Proportioner, which mixes your water and foam concentrate in the pump head, meaning you don't have to batch mix in the tank. In addition to doing both your water and foam jobs cleanly and accurately, you won’t have to flush your tank and pump to get rid of foam residue.
Want to use an auxiliary water source to feed the WATERAX Versax 6 pump on the 85HP? Not a problem. Like almost all QTACs, the 85HP can draft, meaning as long as there's water available and gas in the tank, you can be fighting fire.
As a broad-spectrum firefighting tool, the 85HP is a great addition to any apparatus roster. Contact our team for an even deeper dive into everything it can do for you.
