Fire Extinguishers in Machinery, Tractors and Rural Equipment

In rural areas, tractors, agricultural machinery and heavy transport vehicles must be properly equipped with fire extinguishers in accordance with safety standards. The legislation stipulates that:

• Tractors, machines and vehicles weighing less than 10,000 kg must be equipped with a 6 kg fire extinguisher .
• Vehicles weighing more than 10,000 kg must be equipped with two 6 kg fire extinguishers .

These extinguishers are essential for preventing and fighting fires in rural areas, where the risk is high due to the presence of dry vegetation and other flammable materials. Ensuring that machinery is equipped with suitable extinguishers not only complies with legislation, but also promotes safety in agricultural and transport activities.
