Buying reconditioned firefighting equipment and used SCBA at a low price

Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) are the most essential devices used by the fire fighters and rescue workers for safety in oil fields, mining, marine and many industrial units.

Breathing apparatus or self-contained breathing apparatus is used to provide breathable air to the rescue workers and fire fighters in the hostile environment in which they are required to work.

The term “self-contained” implies that the breathing apparatus does not require a remote supply. Any new self-contained breathing apparatus or a refurbished SCBA consists of three main components, viz. a high pressure cylinder, regulator for pressure control and an inhalation unit (mouthpiece and mouth mask) connected together and attached to a carrying frame.

Safety being priority in every industrial unit, purchase of new SCBA and firefighting equipment becomes quite expensive proposition for medium and smaller units. Used SCBA or refurbished SCBA of reputed brands are the good alternative since they are available at very reasonable and affordable prices. What you need to care about is the reliability of supplier of used equipment.

Reputed suppliers of used firefighter SCBA ensure that units are thoroughly cleaned using ultrasonic cleaners and are repaired to give performance on par with the new units while maintaining safety standards of high level.

Refurbished SCBAs are subjected to elaborate computerized tests conforming to OEM specifications. Reputed suppliers ensure that cylinders also pass through all required tests and meet stringent tolerances.

With affordable price and assurance of safety and longer warranty period, purchase of used, refurbished equipment, is a deal worth considering.
