Perhaps one of the more common as well as practical and useful rigs in any fire department is a mini-pumper or quick attack vehicle built on a Ford, RAM, GMC, or Chevrolet chassis. When the lead time and/or price for a new truck doesn’t necessarily meet fire department current needs or constraints, the used fire apparatus marketplace is certainly the best path to explore. And, that path leads to Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus (www.firetruckmall.com)
With over 20 years experience and hundreds of used fire trucks bought and sold each year, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus (BMFA) is the destination to locate a quality used mini-pumper for sale. Leveraging the power of their Fire Truck Finder digital platform, access to a number of possibilities is at the fingertips of those searching for pre-owned quick attack vehicles that can be bought today at a variety of price points and put in service soon.
Like other used fire trucks, mini-pumpers have significant variation based particularly on the commercial chassis configuration as well as with the apparatus body design or layout. With the given chassis, they may have 2-door, 2-door extended, or 4-door cabs. The drivetrain could be a gasoline or diesel engine; manual or automatic transmission; and 2-wheel (4x2) or 4-wheel (4x4) drive. Of course, there are multiple commercial cab/chassis brands with Ford being one of the more dominant and a very wide variety of bodybuilders from major fire apparatus manufacturers to work truck or service truck builders.
Additionally, when considering or evaluating available used quick attack apparatus, the water tank sizes as well as fire pumps vary and body compartmentation (including conventional doors vs. roller shutter doors) can also be quite diverse. Other features that may or may not be present with used mini-pumpers include front bumper winches, grille brush guards, 1-inch booster hose reels, generators, and foam concentrate proportioning systems.
As always, Brindle Mountain Fire Apparatus is continuously searching for good used quick attack vehicles. If not in the market to purchase one, a fire department that has one to trade or sell should certainly contact BMFA for a proposal on an offer to buy it. Similar to other used fire trucks, the year of original manufacture, mileage, and general overall condition (including undercarriage corrosion) are key determining factors in the fair valuation of a mini-pumper.
So, whether buying or selling a used quick attack, reach out to Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus (www.firetruckmall.com) today and discover the possibilities that work best for your fire department.
