Kimtek said it is the largest producer and marketer of skid units for all terrain vehicles (ATV) and utility terrain vehicles (UTV) for public safety agencies in the United States. Kimtek’s FIRELITE fire/rescue skid units and MEDLITE medical skid units are in service in 49 states, four provinces in Canada, in all branches of the military and in the National Park Service. In addition, the company said its units are used at numerous NASCAR tracks and sporting complexes.
