Introducing the newly redesigned Minuteman XD Truck Fire Skid, available in 225 and 325-gallon sizes, representing a pinnacle of innovation in firefighting technology.

The Minuteman XD is more than just a fire skid - it's a versatile solution for the most demanding firefighting challenges. Built to endure and excel in any scenario, our heavy-duty system is an investment in reliability and longevity. With a comprehensive array of accessories and upgrades, outfit your Minuteman XD Truck Fire Skid to meet your exact specifications and conquer the flames with unparalleled confidence and efficiency.
Wildland Fire Fighting
- The standard WATERAX VERSAX® 6 high-pressure fire pump rated at 120 PSI/105 GPM and the 1" Ally Fire 5-10-24-40 GPM selectable aluminum pistol grip NFPA fire nozzle (sprays up to 70'), the Minuteman XD provides excellent fire attack capabilities (larger capacity nozzle and pumps are available)!
Water Drafting/Hauling
- The greatest challenge with fire fighting is lack of water - so we addressed that. The Minuteman XD comes standard with a 12' x 2" Draft/Discharge hose and strainer. This allows you to use the onboard fire pump, suction hose, and strainer to quickly refill the tank - getting you back on the fire within minutes!
Prescribed Burning
- The standard 100' x 1" Kochek lightweight booster hose with NH couplings, 1" Ally Fire 5-10-24-40 GPM selectable aluminum pistol grip NFPA fire nozzle (sprays up to 70'), and hose reel work great for prescribed burning and single person operation!
Equipment Washing
- With the standard WATERAX VERSAX® 6-Series 120 PSI high-pressure pump, 1” lightweight booster hose, and 5-10-24-40 GPM selectable nozzle, the Minuteman XD has great volume and pressure for washing of equipment, trailers, or anything else!

Strength and Versatility: Frame

Versatile Loading Solutions
- Whether you're loading with a skid steer, forklift, loader, or bale bed, the Minuteman XD has you covered. Featuring standard forklift cutouts throughout and D-rings welded to the pick-up points, it offers versatile loading options with ease.
Operator's Platform
- While truck fire skids abound in the market, it's essential to consider the operator's comfort and safety. That's where the Minuteman XD stands out. Boasting a standard built-in Operator's Platform, it not only shields the operator but also offers a strategic vantage point.
