A Tilt-Down feature of the RHINO_TM II allows the nozzle to be lowered to near ground level - a valuable asset for quick control of spill fires.  It gives the operator a clear view of the effectiveness of the water/foam application.  This innovative feature has proven, in successive comprehensive independent testing, to be a more effective approach to fire fighting than the conventional roof turret, utilizing up to 40% less agent.  The Tilt-Down feature will also position the nozzle device in various positions below the horizontal plane to address a variety of tasks, such as under fuselage responses, wheel brake fires, etc., as well as easy access for maintenance.  Conversely, the nozzle can be elevated to near roof level when maximum elevation of the water/foam stream is required.

The automatic nozzle is precisely matched to the turret discharge performance requirements.  A large variety of high flow and low flow combinations can be provided, customized to the vehicle's water capacity.  The nozzle has the capability of rotating up to 180º horizontally, thus making positioning the vehicle less critical.  The nozzle device is also provided with two (2) high intensity lights to enhance the night time capabilities.

Automatic positioning.  An automatic nozzle leveling feature quickly positions the nozzle for optimum attack during the roll-in approach to an aircraft incident and helps keep the nozzle on target when traversing uneven ground.  An automatic "DEPLOY" and "PARK" feature is provided to quickly move the nozzle to a discharge or stowed position.
