The HydroPen System
Fighting container fires smarter and more efficiently than ever seen before.
The usage of normal water pressure will enable the automatic firefighting

The HydroPen & The Lift
The combination of the HydroPen and the Lift enables the ground-breaking feature of reaching containers at fire at heights and to fully automatically extinguish the fire with direct firefighting.
The HydroPen & The HydroLock
The HydroLock is an add-on device which is clicked on top of the HydroPen drilling unit that enables container fire fighting on all reachable containers.
It replaces the current methods & significantly increases the fire safety.
It’s easy, safe and fast to deploy it on the critical container by mounting it on the locking bar. Hereafter, the automatic firefighting can be initiated at safe distance.
The HydroPen & Foam
Use the HydroPen system normally to drill through the container by using water pressure.
After the penetration is done, then:
- Disconnect the fire hose from the fire main.
- Empty the water from the hose.
- Connect the foam inline inductor.
- Activate the water flow
The burning container will be filled with foam at safe distance. The efficiency of fighting Class A & B fires will increase.
The HydroPen & CO2
Use the HydroPen system normally to drill through the container by using water pressure.
After the penetration is done, then:
1. Disconnect the fire hose from the fire main.
2. Empty the water from the hose.
3. Connect the HydroCO2
4. Activate the CO2 bottle.
The burning container will be filled with CO2 at safe distance. The efficiency of fighting Class A & B fires will increase.
