Big or Small, We Cover Them All.

Not every vehicle has the space to accommodate a large fire suppression system. Yet every vehicle deserves the same level of protection.

This compact people carrier is a perfect example. With limited available installation space, a traditional large-capacity tank system simply isn't practical. That's where the ANSUL® LVS-M1 Liquid Vehicle Suppression Tank comes into its own.

Designed specifically for smaller vehicles and applications where space is at a premium, the LVS-M1 delivers the same trusted ANSUL® fire suppression technology in a compact, versatile package.

Whether it's a large mining haul truck, an underground machine, a utility vehicle, or a personnel carrier, AFST has a fire suppression solution to match the application.

At Advanced Fire Suppression Technologies, we understand that every vehicle faces fire risks, regardless of its size. That's why we offer tailored fire suppression solutions that provide reliable protection without compromising on vehicle functionality or available space.

Protecting lives. Protecting assets. Saving downtime.

South African engineering. World-class fire protection.

When it comes to underground mining, reliability isn't negotiable.

That's why we're proud to have completed another ANSUL LVS NF-40 Fire Suppression System installation on an underground drill rig manufactured by a leading South African mining equipment OEM.

South African mining machines have earned a reputation for being built tough enough to handle some of the harshest underground conditions on earth. By pairing local engineering excellence with the proven protection of the ANSUL LVS NF-40 system, operators can work with greater confidence knowing that both lives and valuable assets are protected.

From drilling operations deep underground to demanding production environments, fire protection remains a critical part of mine safety and compliance.

At Advanced Fire Suppression Technologies, our qualified technicians ensure every installation is completed to the highest standard, helping mining companies minimise risk, protect their investment, and keep operations running safely.

✅ Protecting operators

✅ Protecting assets

✅ Supporting mine compliance

✅ Backing South African mining innovation

“What’s the most dangerous thing underground? It’s not what you think.”

Everyone expects rockfalls.

Everyone respects confined spaces.

But fires?

They’re often underestimated—until it’s too late.

On underground mining vehicles, a fire doesn’t behave like it does on surface:

- Heat builds faster

- Escape routes are limited

-Visibility disappears in seconds

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

By the time a fire is visible, you’ve already lost valuable response time.

That’s why suppression isn’t just about putting out flames.

It’s about interrupting the event before it escalates.

With ANSUL LVS NF-40, the focus shifts:

- Rapid detection in high-risk zones

- Immediate discharge where it matters most

- A non-fluorinated agent aligned with modern environmental expectations

It’s not there to “fight” a fire.

It’s there to prevent a situation from becoming a crisis underground.

Because in mining, the real KPI isn’t just uptime.

It’s whether your operators go home safe.

🚜⛏️ Keeping Underground Vehicles Moving – Without Leaving the Underground

Advanced Lubrication Solutions has designed its first specialised service units for underground vehicles—built to maximise uptime, improve efficiency, and keep production moving.

These innovative units, designed by Advanced Lubrication Solutions and manufactured by Industrial Fire & Hazard Control, are precision-engineered to fit perfectly on the back of a Land Cruiser, while remaining fully adaptable for any vehicle and virtually any application.

What does this mean for mining operations?

✔️ Underground vehicles can now be serviced underground

✔️ All fluids can be changed onsite, without bringing equipment to surface

✔️ No unnecessary downtime or production losses

✔️ Reduced wear on components caused by delayed servicing

✔️ Lower risk of contamination and pollutant escape

✔️ Improved operational efficiency and safety

No more pulling critical machines out of production just for routine servicing.

This is smarter maintenance.

This is improved productivity.

This is the future of underground fleet support.

Because every minute underground counts.

When your operation runs by day, we work by night. 🔥

AFST Head Office Operations recently completed a full ANSUL LVS NF-40 fire suppression installation on some bulldozers for a new client — delivered with one clear priority:

Zero disruption to their operations.

To make that happen, our teams mobilised after hours, with four installation teams working through the night to get the job done safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Because real client service isn’t just about what you install — it’s about how you install it.

At Advanced Fire Suppression Technologies, we tailor our approach to each client’s environment, ensuring:

✔️ Minimal operational downtime

✔️ Fast, coordinated installations

✔️ Compliance with industry standards

✔️ Reliable protection for operators and equipment

The ANSUL LVS NF-40 system continues to set the benchmark in vehicle fire suppression — protecting high-value machinery in demanding conditions.

But what makes the difference is simple:

We work around our clients — not the other way around.

Saving Lives. Protecting Assets.
