I'm Corporal Gendron, I work here at the H112 here at 2 Service Battalion and I’m a vehicle technician.
Well these are toolbox that we get and they're pretty well kitted up. We get nice foam rolls to hold everything in place, get everything from impact to normal sockets. We have all sorts of specialty tools. Any special equipment that we need, we can work with the tool crib and they will order anything that we need to get the job done.
This is an E-ONE fire truck, and right now we're getting a brake job done on all the axles. This is the base fire truck, so we keep it maintained at all times.
Okay, so this is an MSVS LHS. It’s a vehicle used to handle sea cans to load onto the vehicle, and we can displace the sea cans wherever we need to. So this is G-Wagon we're working on. The engine that we had had a misfire problem, so this is a new engine that we installed in the G-Wagon.
So, this is a LAV 6. Yeah, this would be my favourite machine. I think this would be my favourite machine.
This is 2020 Matt Granite. It's a commercial heavy recovery vehicle.
We have ATV and snow blowers. So we work on a variety of all sorts of things anywhere from like small engines to big engines like you see in the LAV 6s.
Yes, well, we work on, about everything that needs to be worked on it, we can spend like a couple of weeks on this and we can move on to back to the G-wagon for a couple of weeks. We touched about every kind of vehicle there is out here.
We even have a Ferrari.
