FDIC International 2019: Engage Exhibitors

At FDIC International 2019, Darley will have a wide variety of pumps on display from its popular Darley Davey mounted on the new Polaris PRO–XD up to 6,000 gpm industrial pumps. The company’s Flaim Trainer virtual reality firefighting training system might be a popular stop at the show. Darley has partnered with FLAIM Systems, an Australian-based VR company, to bring next-generation training solutions to first responders. Darley debuted its flagship product ,FLAIM Trainer™, to the North American market at the 2018 FDIC. FLAIM Trainer™ is a firefighter training simulator that provides an immersive virtual reality environment combined with realistic scenarios, patented haptics feedback system, heated PPE, and industry standard equipment, to provide a unique training experience.

The company will also have other products including “Clean Cab” solutions, safe water boxes, and a new low-price Odin CAFS: the Hornet. Darley’s CAFS demo truck features a Ford F550 with a Darley PSMC 1500/120-cfm CAFS.

The ODIN Hornet™ is the latest product in Darley’s CAFS line. This compact, lightweight, low-cost CAFS can deliver 80 gpm and 40 cfm at 100 psi.

Paul Darley, president and CEO of W.S. Darley & Co. offers this advice to firefighters who haven’t experienced the exhibit floor of FDIC International before: “Be sure to walk the show floor slowly and engage with the exhibitors. If you’re considering new equipment, don’t be shy about letting them know that you’re in the market. Some of the new innovative new products can be found in the smaller 10 x 10 booths, but don’t pass up the bigger booths like Darley. We’d love to have you stop by our booth (3721).”
