ROCKET 6 Fire Extinguisher Box for 6 kg Extinguisher, Top Loading, Military Khaki RAL 6007

ROCKET 6 for secure fire extinguisher storage on vehicles

ROCKET 6 top-loading fire extinguisher box is designed for 6 kg fire extinguishers installed on military, special-purpose, commercial and heavy-duty vehicles. The military khaki green RAL 6007 version allows the safety equipment to be visually integrated into military and special-purpose vehicle bodywork.

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

Top loading for restricted installation spaces

In special-purpose vehicle design, every centimetre of space between the chassis, bodywork and other components can be important. ROCKET 6 is specifically designed for applications where a side-opening fire extinguisher box would require excessive access space.

Top access allows engineers to use installation positions with limited lateral clearance while maintaining fast access to the fire extinguisher.

Designed for 6 kg fire extinguishers

The internal retention system is intended for fire extinguishers with a diameter of 150 to 170 mm and a maximum height of 570 mm. Before installation, the actual dimensions of the specific fire extinguisher should therefore be checked rather than relying only on the nominal 6 kg extinguishing agent capacity.

The defined dimensional range simplifies product selection for vehicle bodybuilders, special-purpose vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators.

Pre-installed holder for secure retention

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

The plastic coating also separates the metal holder from the extinguisher surface and supports smooth removal when the extinguisher needs to be used.

Fast access when required

For a fire extinguisher box, secure retention during driving is only one part of the requirement. Equally important is the ability to remove the fire extinguisher quickly. The internal retention system of ROCKET 6 is therefore designed to hold the extinguisher firmly in place without unnecessarily slowing down access.

Protection against weather exposure

ROCKET 6 uses a fully overlapping lid designed to protect the stored fire extinguisher against water, dirt and other environmental effects associated with external vehicle installation.

This is especially important for boxes installed on the chassis or other exposed parts of the vehicle where safety equipment can be subjected to rain, splash water and road contamination.

Reinforcing ribs for increased structural rigidity

The box incorporates integrated reinforcing ribs that increase structural rigidity and help the enclosure withstand vibration and mechanical stress generated during vehicle operation.

The combination of secure extinguisher retention and a reinforced enclosure is particularly relevant for vehicles operating outside normal road conditions or in demanding environments.

Military khaki green RAL 6007

The military khaki green RAL 6007 finish is particularly suitable for military vehicles, defence-sector equipment and special-purpose vehicle bodies where the fire extinguisher box needs to match the overall exterior colour scheme.

An externally mounted fire extinguisher box can therefore be visually integrated with the vehicle body, chassis or superstructure instead of creating a strong contrast with conventional black or grey enclosures.

For military, special-purpose and technical vehicles

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

Typical applications include:

• military and defence vehicles,
• logistics and support vehicles,
• special-purpose truck bodies,
• service and workshop vehicles,
• emergency and technical vehicles,
• trucks and commercial vehicles.

Why choose a top-loading fire extinguisher box?

A top-loading design is particularly useful where the area next to the box is obstructed by the chassis, bodywork, tank, mudguard or another vehicle component. Access from above makes it possible to use available installation space more efficiently without restricting access to the fire extinguisher.

For vehicle bodybuilders, ROCKET 6 therefore provides a practical alternative to conventional front-opening or side-opening fire extinguisher boxes.

A safety component designed as part of the vehicle

ROCKET 6 is more than a protective enclosure for a fire extinguisher. It combines space-saving top loading, secure internal retention, weather protection and structural rigidity in one component designed for permanent vehicle installation.

The military khaki green RAL 6007 version is particularly suitable for military and special-purpose vehicle projects where safety equipment must remain quickly accessible while also being properly integrated into restricted installation space and the overall vehicle design.
