Fire Truck Bodies

EXT FIRE TRUCK BODY

The EXT Fully Extruded, Heavy Duty Body provides efficiency throughout the process from start to finish. Starting with integrating the pump house into the body, the Fully Extruded Body eliminates the need for separate body components to be built. It also allows for easier packaging of components and options. Your department can speed up the configuration process by using pre-engineered body designs with a wide variety of options to choose from.

The EXT Fully Extruded, Heavy Duty Body features:

Two material options: Aluminum or Stainless, both are backed by our EXT transferable lifetime warranty.

High-quality wheel well options: The wheel wells on a fully extruded body are not structurally integral to the strength of the body meaning, they are easily replaceable in the event of common accidents in that area of the body. The easily replaced wheel well housings are available in four-way aluminum, painted aluminum and stainless steel. Polished stainless federettes and high-density inner liners are standard.

Fully protected wiring and lighting: On a fully extruded body, there is no conduit in any compartments. All wiring is organized cleanly within the extrusions accessed through simple removable panels. Preventing damage from weather, equipment and other gear won’t snag or damage wiring. Lighting is also recessed for protection and to allow full-width usability of every compartment.

Roll-up doors to keep equipment dry and protected: Roll-up doors open full width and full height; The door tracks are mounted to the face of the extrusion keeping them from impeding on the compartment opening. The door reel is kept above compartments, offering increased storage space and ease of service. Rolled-up doors are isolated in a separate compartment above the body compartment, eliminating water/debris from getting inside the storage space without the need for drip pans found in every other fire truck body.

Nothing in the way of your storage space: Adjustable tracks are an integrated part of the extrusions along the sidewalls and ceilings of every compartment. As a result, compartment shelves extend the full width of the compartment opening for increased storage space eliminating the use of Unistrut in the EXT body.

Storage from top to bottom: Integrated universal track on all walls and ceilings means recessed roll-up door compartments offer ceiling equipment mounting, so cord reels and other equipment can be attached to the ceiling as there is no drip pan or reel in the way.

Durable hinges that don’t sacrifice space: Compartment doors feature stainless steel hinges, which are concealed and protected from the elements, and striker pins that extend out of the door opening. Offset hinges also allow doors to open the full width of the compartment. Slam doors open flush to the interior of the compartment meaning whatever width your compartment is the doors also open to as well. On a Rosenbauer cab and Rosenbauer EXT body, there are no exposed hinges. Dirt, grime, road salt and more can’t reach our hinges.

Safe Steps: Rosenbauer Safe Steps are offered on the EXT body to provide flip down to easy step access to the upper compartment storage areas in taller bodies. They also provide a great spot to sit during rehab at an incident. The Safe Steps are built into the extrusions that frame every compartment. Opting for Safe Steps does not impede your compartment space.

Rosenbauer 2.0 Ladder Lowering System: Offered on the EXT fully extruded body, this two-arm ladder rack system is built into the extrusions of the compartment over the rear wheel(s). It’s no longer necessary to sacrifice 20+ inches of compartment space to get a powered ladder lowering rack on the apparatus. The Rosenbauer 2.0 Ladder Lowering System mounts flush and hides away completely, and does not impede compartment space on your apparatus at all.

With the EXT fully extruded body we preserve compartment space at no cost to strength. Simply put this is the most advanced, strongest body the industry has ever seen. To prove the point, we back every EXT body with a standard transferable lifetime warranty. Resale values sore with this body. And buying a used Rosenbauer EXT body fire apparatus? That means you are covered too.

CT Fire Truck Body

The CT Centurion Fire Truck Body features a wide range of compartment configurations and strong, durable bodies so that you can build the truck you want.

The CT Fire Truck Body features: 

Aluminum or stainless steel options: The CT Fire Truck Body is available in aluminum and stainless steel.

Advanced digital software: Our engineering staff at Rosenbauer uses the most advanced digital software on the market today to help create the most innovative body designs that are more durable and economical than anything you have ever seen in the past. Each part is sent directly from the digital engineering fabricating equipment, making certain that a highly accurate, well-built piece of apparatus is created for you. 

Notch and tab construction: The individual modules are assembled and welded using a “notch and tab” method, in which interlocking provisions are designed into the pieces. This technique ensures an accurate fit and allows for perfect replacement parts to be fabricated if the need should arise.

Huck bolt system: The subframe and body are assembled using a power-operated, pretensioned bolting system called a “Huck Bolt.” This method draws the bolt to a specific tension, then clamps the nut tight, leaving a constant and vibration-proof fastening system.

7-gauge steel sub frame: The CT subframe is formed of heavy-duty 7-gauge steel, powder-coated to resist corrosion and attached with a minimum of six mounting points, four of which are spring-loaded to help absorb torsional twist.

CRT Fire Truck Body

The Corrosion Resistant Technology (CRT) body was engineered to resolve corrosion issues in the most common locations-where metals of different types are in use. To prevent irritants such as water, oil, or fuel from becoming trapped and thus starting the electrochemical process, space is provided to allow for air to flow and fluids to run off.

The CRT Fire Truck Body is backed by a lifetime warranty. It is hot dip galvanized, which is a time-tested anti-corrosion coating that chemically bonds with the steel. The sub-frame absorbs torsion which results in resisting fatigue cracks. Hot-dip galvanized frame rails are available on Rosenbauer custom chassis which offer the same benefits of anti-corrosion protection.
