First Priority Fire Apparatus / Pumpers

KME designs and manufactures thousands of innovative pumper body configurations in a variety of materials to satisfy the needs of your environment as well as your budget.  We understand Pumpers and how corrosion is the enemy of your vehicle.  We offer bodies in Galvanneal Steel, Aluminum, 3CR12 Stainless Steel, and 304L Stainless Steel.

Corrosion is the biggest enemy to fire bodies, and we take extra steps to avoid this by utilizing the same subframe material as the body, as well as installing several isolation barriers, and utilizing a special coated fastener to eliminate dissimilar metal interaction.  The formed construction technique utilized by KME allows for more storage space for the customized tools carried by your department.

Design with Safety in Mind

Whether you are on the way to a scene, working a scene, unloading equipment, or just doing routine maintenance, KME provides a safer solution. With safety in mind KME designs each apparatus to reduce these hazards. A few ways KME addresses these concerns is by lowering weight, creating a lower center of gravity, securely mounting equipment ergonomically, and providing safe and easy access to roof storage

Superior Safety

KME aerials feature a standard electronic motion control system with an easy-to-read color monitor that displays critical information to both operators at the turntable and in the platform. The system also provides cab and body avoidance and short jack operations. All aerials feature the handheld outrigger tether, which allows the operator to safely view all outriggers in motion. In addition, the aerial turntable is designed with plenty of room for the operator, fire personnel and rescued persons to transition onto and off the aerial safely. The KME aerial also features the fire service’s largest heel pin step to provide a safe transition to and from the ladder.
