THE
RIGHT MATERIALS FOR THE RIGHT PURPOSE
Pierce selects every material with one question in mind: Will it
perform the task it needs to perform? For example, we use 304L
stainless steel because it’s low in carbon and its excellent
atmospheric corrosion resistance makes it perfect as exterior
body sheet material and ideal for welding. For a lightweight
option, Pierce chooses the highest quality aluminum. It’s a
heavy-duty performance rescue body that’s half the weight of a
stainless steel body. With a combination of extrusions, sheet
materials and formed materials,The leader in custom chassis for
good reason Pierce chooses the right configuration depending on
the truck model being built.
WORKMANSHIP IN EVERY DETAIL

Pierce uses a 6-step finishing paint process that provides
corrosion protection and still maintains environmental safety
standards. Holes are drilled BEFORE painting, and components are
mounted after, so the painted surface is never compromised.
Plus, the graphic capabilities at Pierce are second-to-none,
even using real gold leaf to ensure your vehicle conveys the
image and messages your community deserves.

Considerations for a Non-Walk-In:
• Require plenty of storage space for rescue tools and equipment
• Require access to items from both sides of the truck
• Require a breathing air compressor for SCBA bottle refilling
operations
• Require storage space for long tools and equipment
Drawing
Take control of any incident—command or vehicle crew cabs
Consider all the incredible features of a Pierce Rescue. Now,
add the ability to carry additional crew members and/or
establish an incident command area for controllers. We can
create an area for your computer set-up, providing you with
online access, vital weather related information, or critical
HazMat facts. Plus, you’ll have enough space to handle
paperwork, maps, etc. Again, depending on your needs, a command
center can be located at the back of the cab, in the front
compartment or at the back of the vehicle.

Your
gigantic toolbox on wheels
Storage. It’s why you need a rescue in the first place. We’ll
help you choose from our huge selection of compartment storage
options to best optimize the space available. Select from
one-way or two-way slide-out utility trays; 30-degree slide-out
tilt-down trays; special storage bins and drawers; air bag and
ladder storage racks; slide-out tool boards; and many other
options.

What
types of incidents do you handle?
Are you set up to manage situations when you are running
directly off the truck? Do you need more than 100' of hose? Is
portability an issue?

Many
factors affect the use of hydraulic tools. We help you sift
through your needs and prepare you for any situation.
1) Hose
2) Hose reels of different lengths to get tools out where
they’re needed
--Ceiling-mount on trucks
with lap doors and/or roof hatches
--Wall-mount applications
3) Tools: cutters, spreaders, combination, rams
4) Power supply to take tools out into the field
--Electric motor
driven
--Engine driven
--PTO driven
5)

• Pierce’s TAK-4® Independent Front Suspension provides the
ability to handle rough roads and stop 23% quicker than an
identical truck using a straight axle with 15" rotors.
• Pierce’s Side Roll Protection™ System monitors truck
motion. In the event of a side roll, it cinches the
occupants’ seatbelts, pulls the suspension seat to its
lowest position, and inflates side airbags and air curtains.
