TFT Introduces EF1 Wildland Monitor

VALPARAISO, IN—Task Force Tips introduced the EF1 remotely controlled monitor for wildland and interface apparatus. At less than 13 inches (319 mm) tall, the EF1 is an ideal forestry bumper turret. The EF1 is hard-coated aluminum alloy which is then powder coated inside and out. All electronics are tightly contained in a sealed control box that is part of the monitor casting. Monitor wiring is reduced to a minimum and installs easily using a one plug connection.

According to Phil Gerace, TFT’s VP of Marketing, “The EF1 is TFT’s most compact monitor, but its large, efficient waterway is capable of flows up to 200 gpm (760 l/min). It’s a great monitor for new brush trucks, interface pumpers or conversions.”
