Every worksite, whether in mining, civil construction, logistics, or heavy industry, relies on effective fire protection measures to keep operations safe. Among the most essential tools are site fire extinguishers—the first line of defence in containing small fires before they escalate. MultiTorque has built a strong reputation as a leading supplier of industrial-grade extinguishers, FirePro aerosol suppression systems, and fire protection equipment across Australia.
With more than 15 years supporting industrial operations and branches in Perth and Brisbane, MultiTorque delivers reliable, fully compliant fire protection solutions designed for rugged work environments. This article explores why site fire extinguishers are critical, what makes MultiTorque the preferred provider, and how businesses can enhance on-site safety with the right equipment.
Why Site Fire Extinguishers Matter
Worksites in Australia face significant fire risks due to the presence of fuel sources, electrical equipment, machinery, and environmental factors such as extreme heat and dust. Site fire extinguishers offer several advantages:
- Immediate response capability during the early stages of a fire
- Protection for workers, machinery, and assets
- Minimisation of downtime and operational disruption
- Compliance with safety regulations and site requirements
- Coverage for multiple fire types, from electrical faults to fuel-based fires
A well-equipped worksite requires extinguishers that are properly rated, regularly inspected, and suitable for the nature of the hazards present. MultiTorque ensures Australian worksites get the right extinguishers for every application.
Amerex Site Fire Extinguishers from MultiTorque
MultiTorque supplies a comprehensive range of Amerex extinguishers—globally recognised as some of the most durable and reliable units on the market. Amerex extinguishers are engineered for harsh industrial conditions, making them ideal for construction sites, mining operations, manufacturing facilities, and heavy transport yards.
1. ABE Dry Chemical Powder Extinguishers
These are the most common site fire extinguishers and are suitable for:
- Class A: wood, paper, and plastics
- Class B: flammable liquids
- Class E: electrical equipment
They are versatile, easy to use, and provide strong knockdown power, making them essential for mobile and fixed-site operations.
2. CO₂ Fire Extinguishers
Perfect for electrical and sensitive equipment environments such as:
- Switchboards
- Control panels
- Electrical cabinets
- IT equipment
They leave no residue, making them ideal for preventing electrical damage.
3. Foam Fire Extinguishers
Foam extinguishers are commonly used on sites involving:
- Flammable liquids
- Fuel storage areas
- Workshops and garages
They smother and cool fires simultaneously, offering excellent suppression for liquid-based hazards.
4. Wet Chemical Extinguishers
Used primarily where cooking oils and fats are present. Although not typical on many industrial sites, they are vital for commercial kitchens or food service areas within larger operations.
Choosing the Right Site Fire Extinguishers
Selecting the correct extinguisher type is essential for compliance and safety. MultiTorque assists businesses in assessing their site hazards and determining the best combination of extinguishers. Important considerations include:
- Fuel sources present (liquid, gas, electrical, solid combustibles)
- Operating environment (dust, vibration, heat, confined spaces)
- Regulatory requirements
- Accessibility and visibility needs
- Mobile plant requirements, such as extinguishers fitted to trucks, loaders, or plant machinery
By choosing extinguishers matched to the risks, businesses can significantly improve their fire response capability.
