First responders have expanded options with new UTV/skid unit combination

ORLEANS, VT; September, 2016— In its continued expansion into side-by-side utility vehicles, the newly introduced Honda Pioneer 1000-3 readily accommodates the Kimtek MEDLITE and FIRELITE skid units. The Honda Pioneer 1000-3 has a cargo bed capacity of 1,000 pounds, allowing enough capacity to carry most of the UTV skid units KIMTEK currently offers.

A Useful Combination
With its modular, slide-in design and numerous adaptability features, Kimtek’s MEDLITE and FIRELITE Transport skid units can be installed in the Honda Pioneer 1000-3 cargo bed in just minutes. The MEDLITE and FIRELITE’s included tie-down system attaches to the Honda’s integrated tie-downs already located in the cargo bed for fast, simple installation. With MEDLITES offering a place for an attendant and a patient and the FIRELITES offering up to 70 gallons of water and patient transport area, these combinations give first responders a powerful tool for off-road fire and rescue, wildland search and rescue, large event response, lifeguard operations, industrial fire and medical response, and many more field applications for police, fire, and EMS response agencies.
