ROCKET 6 Fire Extinguisher Box for 6 kg Extinguisher, Top Loading, red

ROCKET 6 for safe fire extinguisher storage on vehicles

The ROCKET 6 top-loading fire extinguisher box in red is designed for 6 kg fire extinguishers installed on all types of vehicles. It is particularly suitable for locations where there is insufficient space for a conventional fire extinguisher box. With compatible hot-dip galvanised brackets, the box can be installed in different positions and at different angles.

The red finish provides good visibility of safety equipment on commercial, heavy-duty, service, special-purpose and other vehicles.

The main design advantage is top access to the fire extinguisher. This makes the box suitable for installation positions where there is insufficient space to open conventional side doors.

Top loading for confined installation spaces

When designing vehicles, every centimetre of space between the chassis, bodywork and other components can matter. ROCKET 6 is designed for situations where a side-opening fire extinguisher box would require too much operating space.

Top opening allows the installer to use mounting positions with limited side access while retaining quick access to the fire extinguisher. Compatible hot-dip galvanised brackets expand the installation options by allowing the box to be fitted in different positions and at different angles.

For 6 kg fire extinguishers

The internal system is designed for fire extinguishers with a diameter of 150 to 170 mm and a maximum height of 570 mm. Before installation, it is advisable to check the actual dimensions of the specific fire extinguisher, rather than relying only on its nominal 6 kg capacity.

The defined dimensional range makes it easier for body builders, vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators to select the right box.

Pre-installed bracket for secure retention

The box contains a pre-installed metal bracket with a plastic coating that stabilises the fire extinguisher during vehicle operation. The bracket helps reduce movement caused by vibrations and shocks while driving.

The plastic coating improves the bracket's corrosion resistance, separates the metal bracket from the surface of the fire extinguisher and supports smooth removal of the extinguisher when needed.

Quick access when needed

A fire extinguisher box requires more than secure retention during driving. The ability to quickly remove the fire extinguisher is equally important. The ROCKET 6 internal retention system is therefore designed to hold the extinguisher firmly in place without making it difficult to use.

Protection against weather conditions

ROCKET 6 uses a fully overlapping lid that provides improved protection for the stored fire extinguisher against water ingress, dirt and other effects associated with external mounting on a vehicle.

This design is particularly important for boxes installed on the chassis or other external parts of a vehicle, where safety equipment is exposed to rain, splashing water and road debris.

Reinforcing ribs for increased structural rigidity

The box construction includes integrated reinforcing ribs. These increase rigidity and help the box withstand vibration and mechanical stress during vehicle operation.

The combination of secure fire extinguisher retention and a reinforced box body is particularly important for vehicles operating in demanding conditions.

Red finish for high visibility

The red finish makes the fire extinguisher box easy to identify visually. It is suitable for vehicles where safety equipment needs to be clearly visible and readily accessible.

An externally mounted box can therefore serve as a clear and highly visible safety feature on the cab, chassis or bodywork of a vehicle.

For all types of vehicles

ROCKET 6 is suitable for vehicle manufacturers and operators who require secure, protected and easily accessible storage for a 6 kg fire extinguisher.

Typical applications include:

• trucks and commercial vehicles,
• logistics and support vehicles,
• specialised truck bodies,
• service and workshop vehicles,
• emergency response and technical vehicles,
• vehicles with customised bodywork.

Why choose a top-loading fire extinguisher box?

A top-loading design is particularly practical where the space beside the box is blocked by the chassis, bodywork, tank, mudguard or another vehicle component. Top access makes it possible to use the available installation space more efficiently without restricting access to the fire extinguisher.

Combined with compatible hot-dip galvanised brackets, the box can be adapted to the available installation options. ROCKET 6 is therefore a practical alternative to conventional front-opening or side-opening fire extinguisher boxes.

A safety feature designed as part of the vehicle

ROCKET 6 is more than a protective cover for a fire extinguisher. It combines space-saving top loading, secure internal retention, protection against weather conditions and structural rigidity in a single component designed for permanent mounting on a vehicle.

The red finish is suitable for all types of vehicles where safety equipment must be quickly accessible, highly visible and properly integrated into a confined installation space and the overall bodywork solution.
