The Contender brush truck is built for wildland firefighting and urban interface applications. It is designed for quick response to get two firefighters off road with enough firefighting capabilities to attack a small brush fire. The vehicle is available on a Ford F-550 all wheel drive chassis that combines excellent ground clearance with a low profile.

The body features an aluminum flatbed with channel borders and a 1-inch extruded floor with non-skid deck. Storage needs are met with 22 inch deep aluminum treadplate compartments with two lift up doors on each side.

The Contender brush truck also features a 400 gallon polypropylene water tank and rear mounted Waterous PB-18 2515 pump that runs off its own 18 horsepower electric start engine. A Hannay electric rewind hosereel with 150 feet of 1 inch line is mounted atop the water tank or at the rear of the vehicle.

The interior offers seating for two and a center console that puts maps, switches and controls and the firefighters' fingertips.

The Contender brush truck meets all NFPA 1906 specifications.
