WHP Trainingtowers™ announces the release of the patent pending modular fire training simulator, Modx, the first alternative to containerized training units. Modules are uniquely engineered and designed for the fire service to accommodate both Class A and gas simulator burn capabilities. Modx offers departments a grant eligible solution that can be easily expanded in the future. The Modx is the first of its kind to provide a complete, modular training system with a life expectancy that outlasts any other comparable product on the market today. It offers departments an affordable training solution through reduced site and freight costs, while still providing the quality they have grown to expect from WHP Trainingtowers™.
The integrity of the unit relies on the fully galvanized structural steel frame that allows for open floor plans without any interior columns or beams not available through traditional offerings. The walls are independent of the unit which allows all walls to be easily moved, removed, or reconfigured. Additionally, doors and windows are interchangeable [attached by four bolts] allowing for a wider variety of training exercises with the system. The structural, composite concrete floor system is engineered to address and mitigate typical water drainage issues previously seen in containerized systems that are designed to keep water confined. ModX is easily customizable, available in multiple sizes & configurations and can be built to customized specifications.
In addition to being reconfigurable, Modx is trailer mountable and/or moveable with a telehandler forklift. Modx was built to be compatible with confined space training, forcible entry and reconfigurable maze systems. The module allows for rappelling and laddering to engage firefighters and prepare them for real-world fire training scenarios & applications. Variable pitched roof with chop outs allow for roof operations training. The lining system utilizes WHP Trainingtowers™ proprietary Super Padgenite HDTM, the only UL listed lining system that is designed specifically for the fire service industry. Super Padgenite HDTM was developed to withstand repeated hose spray and with the durability endure the rigors of fire training.
WHP Trainingtowers™ has provided custom fire training towers, burn room liners and hazmat training props to the fire industry since 1980 with over 700 projects in the US and abroad. The company’s mission is to provide continuous innovation that responds to the changing needs of emergency preparedness in a way that positively impacts the quality of emergency services training.
