KME offers heavy duty rescues in a walk around or walk-in style in either 3/16” aluminum or 12ga stainless steel. These rescues are the most rugged, custom units available to the fire service. Standard body trim materials are designed for rugged use and durability throughout the life of the vehicle. KME utilizes aluminum tread plate for flooring/walkway walls and fiberglass reinforced board for ceilings and side walls with upgrades available to each. All 12v DC wiring is installed using protective loom while 110/220v wiring is entirely encased in liquid tight conduit to prevent chafing over the apparatus lifetime. KME’s formed body design allows for maximum compartment space (29” deep or transverse) and greater design flexibility. The fully integrated roof, light tower compartments and walkways ensure a complete, one piece welded unit with unrivaled strength and weatherproof security.
