Sentinel is a high-performance truck. To keep response time to a minimum, Sides’ engineers have selected a chassis with unrivalled road performance and designed both the cab and the firefighting equipment with both user comfort and safety in mind.
Accessible
In the interests of crew access and fast response, we have designed the cab with:
+ no centre column
+ wide access areas
User-friendly
Each element – chassis, cab and firefighting system – has been carefully designed to be as easy to use as possible. This means that firefighters can :
+ use the truck intuitively
+ avoid operator errors
+ attack the fire precisely
even in severe emergencies !
Comfortable
In the interests of comfort, we have designed :
+ a spacious cab
+ an efficient air conditioning system
+ large storage lockers in the cab
+ specially designed storage for firefighting equipment
These features mean that firefighters are able to remain alert and focused at all times.
Safe
Safety features include:
+ low dashboard for improved visibility
+ low centre of gravity for better stability
+ cab with the best safety standards
Daily inspections, regular maintenance and reliable systems are critical. We have therefore designed Sentinel to feature ultra-reliable systems, with servicing and maintenance needs in mind.
Reliable
Sentinel is built on an ultra-reliable structure:
+ best-in-class TITAN chassis
+ best-in-class Sides firefighting equipment and components
Accessible
In the interests of safe and easy daily inspections and maintenance, Sentinel provides direct access to the chassis and firefighting equipment:
+ access from the ground
+ no need for specific tools
+ single point of access for inspection
Inspection
The S-Control’s on-board management system can be used to conduct a quick, simple and accurate diagnosis of vehicle components
Simple
The main firefighting components can be maintained using standard exchange system parts
