Spartan Motors Receives Multi-Unit Fire Apparatus
Order
CHARLOTTE, Mich., December 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Spartan
Emergency Response ("Spartan" or "Spartan ER"), a business unit of
Spartan Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAR), has received an order for 13
of its industry-leading custom fire apparatus to be delivered to a
metropolitan fire department in Texas. The order includes nine custom built
engines, one high-pressure engine for downtown high-rise
operations, two 105-foot aerials and one 100-foot rear mount
platform.
This order adds to Spartan's already established and growing
footprint in the State of Texas,
including Metropolitan and County Fire Departments.
"An order of this significance reflects our legacy and
leadership in designing solutions that allow first responders to
protect the communities they serve with great efficiency and in an
optimally safe work environment," said Daryl Adams, President and Chief Executive
Officer at Spartan Motors. "We are constantly working to satisfy
evolving firehouse needs for vehicle safety, speed, agility,
ergonomics, and serviceability. We are pleased to have been
selected and we are confident Spartan Motors will help first
responders in Texas in the line of
duty."
Spartan Motors was selected for this order in part because of
its ability to produce highly-customized apparatus designed to meet
the specific needs of fire departments in Texas. Many environmental and operational
factors were considered to ensure optimal performance and
firefighter safety in extreme conditions.
The aerials will provide departments with industry-leading load
ratings and water flow capabilities, as well as several additional
features that make them highly efficient and reliable. Both pumpers
and aerials include Spartan's Independent Front Suspension (IFS)—a
feature that provides a higher level of control and maneuverability
that is ideal for carrying the heaviest of loads while maneuvering
safely through crowded intersections and tight corners.
Additionally, the IFS design provides an unmatched ride quality
that exceeds the expectations of local fire departments.
All units are custom built on a Spartan chassis featuring a high
engine air intake, new enhanced air conditioning system, and
the Spartan Advanced Protection System (APS)—a smart
occupant restraint and protection system designed specifically for
emergency response vehicles. APS includes eight strategically
placed airbags, and outboard sensors that feed into an intelligent
restraint control module to provide enhanced protection for the
driver and occupants.
