Wyoming, MN - August 25, 2009 - Rosenbauer America has delivered two highly-customized rescue-pumpers to the South Trail Fire and Rescue District in Fort Myers, FL, bringing the number of Rosenbauer pumpers from the company's General Division in Wyoming, MN, that have been delivered to South Trail to eight.
The 12-gauge, stainless steel, severe-duty Rosenbauer bodies each provide more than 280 cubic-feet in body compartment storage space and include an array of custom slide-out trays, pull-out tool boards, roll-out-and-down trays, slide-out crosslay trays inside the forward transverse compartment, all designed to South Trail's precise requirements with Rosenbauer's engineering staff.
Each Rosenbauer pumper is furnished with a Hale rear-mounted RSD single-stage pump rated at 1,500 GPM and 750-gallon poly tank. The rear-mount pump controls are located at the street side rear compartment of both bodies. In addition to the internally-stored crosslays, a Hannay electric rewind booster reel accompanies each vehicle, which is mounted between the frame rails inside the chassis 24" front bumper extensions. Each reel contains 100' of ¾" booster hose. Two 6" x 10' suction hoses are stored above the curbside compartments paying out from the rear of the body.
The pumpers are also equipped with an Akron 3126 foam system rated at 1,250 GPM with a 20 gallon foam cell, an extend-a-gun monitor, 2,000-watt light tower, Whelen LED emergency lighting package and Robinson roll-up doors.
Painted in a unique black-over-red color scheme new to South Trail, both vehicles are built on the Spartan Gladiator chassis with separate wheelbases. One unit has a 193" wheelbase to allow it to fit into an older station, while the other has a 205" wheelbase. Powered by Cummins ISC-330 motors, each unit has an Allison 3000EVS transmission and a full-transverse floor-to-ceiling ALS compartment with interior/exterior access.
Both units were sold by dealer Bob Milnes of Fire Fighting Innovations.
