Used Apparatus:

When considering a used fire truck, it's important to look beyond the price tag.

 

Review of maintenance records, mileage, and overall condition, while ensuring the apparatus meets current NFPA standards and fits their operational needs is essential.

 

Our certified EVTs can help identify any potential issues and guide decisions around necessary upgrades or repairs—helping ensure the vehicle is a reliable, long-term addition to the fleet.

Evaluating your fleet before deciding on refurbishment is essential to ensure that resources are invested wisely and operational readiness is maintained. A thorough assessment helps identify which apparatus are viable candidates for refurbishment based on age, condition, performance, and compliance with current standards. This process also highlights safety concerns, technology gaps, and cost implications, allowing departments to make informed decisions that balance performance, budget, and long-term serviceability.
