Extincteurs mobiles. Les extincteurs de cette catégorie sont similaires dans leurs agents et leur fonctionnement aux extincteurs portatifs, mais ils disposent d'un plus grand volume d'agent extincteur (20 à 200 kg), ce qui accroît leur autonomie et leur efficacité. Ils sont montés sur un châssis muni de roues et disposent d'un tuyau beaucoup plus long, avec parfois une lance-pistolet. Leur cartouche de gaz est toujours externe. On en trouve dans les aéroports, les entrepôts, les stations-services, etc. 4, record 1, French, - extincteur%20mobile
