The Oshkosh® Striker® 6x6 ARFF vehicles will support emergency operations for YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport and YMX International Aerocity of Mirabel in Québec, Canada.
APPLETON, WIS. (May 7, 2024) – Oshkosh Airport Products, a division of Pierce Manufacturing Inc., and a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), announced ADM Aéroports de Montréal has taken delivery of five Oshkosh Airport Products Striker® 6x6 ARFF vehicles. The vehicles will support emergency operations at two of the province’s largest airfields, YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport – which now serve over 21 million travelers annually – and YMX International Aerocity of Mirabel.
ADM’s new ARFF vehicles were sold by Commercial Emergency Equipment Co., in cooperation with L’Arsenal in Quebec province. Aftermarket service and parts for the vehicles will be provided locally by L’Arsenal.
“This project represents one of the largest single non-military ARFF sales in Canadian aviation history,” said Jack Bermingham, business unit director for Oshkosh Airport Products. “ADM’s retirement of a fleet of existing Strikers for this replacement order clearly demonstrates the ongoing trust they have in Oshkosh. Alongside the Commercial Emergency Equipment and L’Arsenal teams, we are proud to continue this long-standing relationship by once again
providing leading edge ARFF vehicles, and dedicated service and support from our dealers and support network.”
“The acquisition of these new vehicles is part of a drive to modernize ADM Aéroports de Montréal’s equipment and will enable us to respond more quickly and efficiently to incidents requiring firefighting services. We would like to thank our long-time partner Oshkosh for its support and the quality of these high-performance Strikers,” said Stéphane Larin, Director, Security, Operations and Fire Department at ADM Aéroports de Montréal.
Three of the five Striker vehicles feature a Snozzle® high-reach extendable turret, and two feature standard roof turrets. All five vehicles are equipped with low-attack bumper turrets.
Other features of ADM’s new Striker 6x6 ARFF vehicles include:
Jamie Zimmerman, Sales Manager and Manager of Airport Products at Commercial Emergency Equipment spoke about the benefits of a branch network supporting ARFF procurement, and aftersales support. He stated, “Commercial and L’Arsenal proposed a ‘complete package’ solution for ADM comprised of a market-leading apparatus, unmatched parts and service support from our nationwide branch network, and complete product knowledge, training, and factory support.”

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
