Regardless of the configuration or application, if your fire department needs a used tanker, tender, or pumper/tanker, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus has something that may work for you.  If not already on hand or available, Brindlee can be vigilant in assisting with locating a preferred future rig based on given parameters or specifications.   

 

As the largest buyer and seller of used fire apparatus in North America, transacting well over 500 used vehicles per year, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus likely has a prospective used tanker that could possibly solve your immediate delivery requirements at a price point within your budget.  Furthermore, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus not only sells used tenders but also is constantly seeking quality used tanker prospects for purchase.

 

Since the term used “tanker” or “tender” encompasses so many different possibilities, depending on the mission that you have with your fire department and jurisdiction protected, there is a wide range of choices.  Most searches are anchored first on the apparatus water tank size as well as the flow capacity of the given fire pump.  This is quickly followed by interests in a single or tandem rear axle chassis in conjunction with a 2-door or 4-door commercial (i.e. Peterbilt, Kenworth, International, Freightliner, etc.) or possibly a 4-door custom cab from a specialized apparatus OEM such as Pierce, Rosenbauer, E-ONE, Spartan, Sutphen, HME, etc.  As noted, coupled to the product specification desired, an obvious constraint will be available funds for purchase based on a budget.

 

Leveraging Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus’ digital platform called Fire Truck Finder (https://www.firetruckmall.com/FireTruckFinder), searches based on your stipulated parameters can readily be executed.  If a fire department is not able to identify something immediately that aligns with their requirements, using their vast network of contacts, the Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus team can also actively monitor the market for new opportunities that potentially would get the job done.  

 

On the other hand, if a fire department is looking for the best value to sell a used tanker, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus will provide a fair quote or proposal to possibly buy a given preowned rig.  Valuations entail multiple factors during the assessment stage including vehicle age, mileage and hours, water pump flow, water tank capacity, and core body configuration including for a portable water tank.  Additional factors include any potential chassis undercarriage corrosion and general overall condition of the apparatus that is often supported by the most recent pump test.  


To move forward with a used fire apparatus tanker or tender that could serve you and your community, visit www.firetruckmall.com today.  By the way, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus also has the capabilities to repaint and add new graphics as well as completely refurbish a used rig post purchase.  These optional added services allow opportunities to have the given used tanker even better suited for the new fire department owner.  Finally, even if you're looking to just sell an existing tender to have funds toward a new fire truck purchase, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus is the place and staffed with experienced personnel to make the process optimal for your situation.
