Lightweight Polymer Body

Fitted with a lightweight polymer body, this reduced weight also means less wear and tear on tires, suspension, and other mechanical components, resulting in lower maintenance costs and longer vehicle lifespans. Furthermore, polymer materials are highly resistant to corrosion, an issue commonly faced by steel and even aluminum bodies when exposed to harsh environments, such as salt on winter roads or exposure to water and chemicals during firefighting operations.

Another key advantage of using polymer bodies is their durability and flexibility in design. Modular polymer bodies can be easily customized and configured to meet the specific needs of different fire services, allowing for better organization and storage of equipment.
