GIVE YOURSELF EVERY ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU’RE ON THE MOVE IN RUGGED TERRAIN

Instant Command

WildCAT puts instant command features at your fingertips when responding to fast-paced wildland firegrounds. Control essential functions from one of two display screens to gain every advantage on the fireground or when maneuvering through rugged wildland terrain.

Space-Saving Design

WildCAT’s all-in-one design maximizes interior cab space, giving you more room to work without sacrificing functionality. The pre-programmed system replaces multiple manual controls, including pump prime, start, and operation; valve operation; forestry monitor operation; and all vehicle lighting.

Easy to Use

WildCAT’s user-friendly touchscreen interface makes operation intuitive and stress-free, even in high-pressure scenarios. Touchscreen technology is a game-changer for simplifying training and streamlining controls so you can focus your attention where it matters most.

Designed by Firefighters for Firefighters

WildCAT provides brush trucks with true multi-station control of pump, valves, forestry monitor, and vehicle lighting. Two touchscreen displays, one mounted in the cab and the other at the pump panel, combine multiple functions with pre-programmed controls. By eliminating the need for manual control switches and panels, WildCAT saves both in-cab space and space at the pump panel for quick, easy operation. The fully integrated solution is wired, tested, and supported as a plug-and-play system to extend protection and simplify training.

Pump & Water Flow

Wildlands crews can prime and start the pump to be ready to flow water as soon as they hit the fire scene with the in-cab touchscreen controls.

Lighting Control

Control the fire scene and command the night with complete control of your lighting packages to keep crews safe.

Glove-Capable

Intuitive display touchscreens—in the cab and at the pump panel—are glove-capable to put firefighters in complete control when it matters most.

WildCAT Saves Everyone Time & Space

By combining multiple functions into a single point-of-use touchscreen display, WildCAT saves precious space in the cab and at the pump panel. WildCAT replaces manual control panels and switches with a fully tested, pre-wired, and pre-programmed software package—simplifying build orders, reducing installation time, and maximizing cab space.

Multiplexing Electrical System

The multiplex wiring harness system replaces individual wiring and the need for additional connectors and relays, reducing possible failure points. Minimal training and experience needed for installation means faster implementation into production and shorter build lead times.

Reduced Installation Time and Costs

Pre-wired and pre-tested, factory direct for plug-and-play use reduces installation time by 15+ hours for brush truck builders. Less hassle during installation and no need for programming saves everyone time and money during the build process.

Simplified Ordering & Paperwork

WildCAT is a complete electronic and mechanical solution that combines critical components into a single package for installation in a brush truck. Ordering is simplified with one item number, one supplier, and one invoice, which makes choosing WildCAT hassle-free and seamless.

“Having WildCAT is like having a smart device connected to our rig. It’s the perfect technology to help us work faster on mobile attacks and when navigating rough terrain.”
