Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) has launched its Smart Skid Mounted Fire Pump Set, marking a significant advancement in intelligent fire protection. The system was inaugurated by Madhuritai Misal, Minister of State for Urban Development, Government of Maharashtra, reinforcing KBL’s commitment to strengthening fire safety infrastructure for India’s rapidly expanding built environment.
Designed as a fully integrated, factory-tested solution, the Smart Skid Mounted Fire Pump Set combines FM/UL-certified motor and engine pump sets with IoT-enabled remote monitoring. Delivering a flow rate of 170 m³/hr (748.49 US gpm) at a head of 100 metres (≈ 142 psi), the system ensures reliable, high-performance fire protection with enhanced operational readiness, real-time performance visibility and predictive maintenance. The pre-packaged, plug-and-play design eliminates the need for extensive civil foundations and skilled on-site labour, significantly reducing installation time and cost. Built-in safety features and OEM-backed quality assurance further enhance system reliability.
At the core of the solution is KirloSmart™ Fire, KBL’s IoT-based remote monitoring platform that enables real-time tracking of pump performance from any location. This proactive monitoring reduces the risk of equipment failure and ensures fire protection systems remain operational at all times. Depending on project requirements, this Smart Skid Mounted System can be integrated with standard fire pump sets as well as MSMO (Multi Stage Multi Outlet) fire pump sets.
The Smart Skid Mounted Fire Pump Set is ideal for a wide range of applications, including commercial buildings, hotels, educational institutions, hospitals, railway stations, warehouses, congested marketplaces, industrial facilities, residential housing and construction sites. Its retrofit-ready design makes it especially suitable for space-constrained locations and for upgrading ageing fire protection systems, allowing easy transportation, positioning and commissioning.
