Clean cab concept in this new Indianapolis tower

(Pierce Manufacturing, YouTube)

Pierce Manufacturing – The Indianapolis Fire Department incorporated the clean cab concept as part of the CARE initiative within their Enforcer chassis. This includes vinyl seating and an EMS storage compartment inside the cab. The No Pump No Tank body style of their 110’ Ascendant Platform provides a partial transverse compartment.

For maximum ride comfort, the department went with the TAK4 Independent Front Suspension. Other features on the apparatus include stabilizer placement cameras, Whelen exterior LED lights and a large selection of ground ladders.
