Global leaders in fire training towers

We are global leaders in fire training tower construction; in business since 1980 and have over 1,000 training towers worldwide. You’ll find WHP training towers in Canada, Italy, Asia, Germany, and the Middle East. In fact, WHP Trainingtowers™ has provided the fire service with more pre-engineered metal fire training towers and buildings than any other supplier in the world.

We Lead the Industry Domestically and Internationally

This global impact is due to our unique combination of expertise in construction and firefighting, an unwavering dedication to quality, and our continual innovation in firefighting equipment. A history of constant innovation is responsible for our continued growth and global success. Around the globe, our products are valued for their durability, effectiveness, and safety. Joe Kirchner, VP of Operations says, “We simply never rest. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our products either by making them more durable, more practical, more affordable, or safer. You can’t lead the industry without keeping a close eye on the future.”

Superior Fire Training Products

Here are just a few examples that showcase our expertise, ingenuity, and dedication to remaining global leaders in our industry:

Alarm Series Towers

Our standard towers were created as part of our quick-ship program and showcase our fast-track delivery system. Featuring the same rugged dual-frame design and fully galvanized steel walls, railings, stairs, and ladders as our custom-designed towers, these towers offer a quicker turn-around and faster delivery time (approximately 6-8 weeks). Not only do they provide a speedy solution, but these buildings can be customized and added on to after installation allowing them to expand as the community grows.

Padgenite™ Burn Panels

Our patented Padgenite™ thermal panels have undergone several upgrades. From the original to the Padgenite Super™ in 2002, to today’s Padgenite Interlock™ system, this calcium-silicate-based thermal lining system provides the best balance of durability and thermal protection. Our new Padgenite Interlock™ system provides a cost-effective way to enhance training capabilities by retrofitting existing fire training towers without the substantial costs associated with new construction.

MODx™ Towers

Our MODx™ fire training towers provide firefighters with flexibility when it comes to training. These modular towers rely on our fully galvanized structural steel frame that allows for open floor plans without any interior structural walls. The walls are independent of the unit which allows all walls, doors, and windows to be easily moved, removed, or reconfigured. This allows for a wider variety of training exercises to keep firefighter training fresh and firefighters prepared for anything they might face.

Hazmat Products

Firefighters face more than just flames. Because we know how critical training is for preparedness, we offer over a dozen hazmat props designed to create realistic scenarios using air compressors to simulate smoke, liquid spills, gas leaks, falling cylinders, exploding drums, and more. Our grant-eligible Hazmat Instructor Series™ package includes five portable hazmat training props and a hand-held control panel. We also offer our Hazmat Instructor Series™ training trailer, making hazmat training mobile and more accessible.
