OCCUPANT PROTECTION

Frontal and side roll airbags give your apparatus the highest impact protection available.

Frontal Airbags
In the event of a frontal collision,  knee and steering wheel airbags deploy and protect against injuries resulting from hitting the instrument panel or other interior points of contact. The lower body is locked in place so the upper body can be slowed and protected by the steering wheel airbag.

Side Roll Airbags
When an unrecoverable rollover is detected, side airbags deploy and protects all occupants from rollovers with the most advanced side roll airbag protection system.

Advanced Seatbelts
Innovative seat belt systems pulls the occupant into the seat in the event of an impact or rollover using a pretensioner system that dramatically reduces restraint system injuries.

Heavy Duty Aluminum Cab

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) has been a significant technological advancement in fire truck safety, utilizing computerized technology to apply the vehicle’s brakes, assist steering, and disengage the throttle to reduce the chance of a vehicle crash.

 

    • Detects loss of steering control and  automatically applies the throttle or brakes to help steer the vehicle
    • Improves the vehicles stability
    • Detects and minimizes skids
