Contender^® PUC makes it easy to get more of what you need, and less of what you don't. With Contender PUC, there's no pumphouse, so you can configure your truck around your needs, not the pump. When every decision in specifying your apparatus and getting everything you need is critical, PUC makes it easy.

EASIER TO USE.
Step 1. Step 2. That's it. Two-step technology reduces shift operations to just two easy steps while removing the traditional grinding and uncertainty of putting a traditional mid-ship pump into gear. The park-to-neutral feature places the transmission into neutral automatically when the parking brake is set. True pump and roll capabilities are standard. Get pumped with a 1,500 gpm pump featuring a 6-year standard warranty.

EASIER TO STAY SAFER.
Contender PUC boasts an impressive list of safety features - like positioning the pump operator position next to hose connections instead of over them. And incorporating chest height crosslays, chest height ladder storage, ladder access to hosebed, 8"-12" lower hosebeds, and transverse storage that you can reach from the ground - where you belong.

EASIER TO STORE MORE.
Contender PUC starts with moving the driver's seat back 3.5" and adding 11.5" to the back of the cab with recessed SCBA seating for increased legroom and optional EMS compartments. The Contender® PUC features standard, pumper-depth, painted compartments.

EASIER TO SERVICE.
The Contender PUC is the answer for easier maintenance for the plumbing and valves. PUC full-tilt access means no disassembly time to get to the problem - meaning you spend minutes - not hours or days - to rebuild a valve.

EASIER TO MANEUVER.
PUC features an impressive 174-inch wheelbase. To further improve maneuverability, a fold-up rear work platform is cleverly designed into the tailboard compartment that keeps the overall length to a minimum while improving the angle of departure.

The Contender custom pumper is a short wheelbase cab-over design engineered from the frame rails up for firefighting. The cab features a large windshield for a commanding view of the road and excellent on-the-scene visibility.

The cab interior is engineered to deliver a open environment with a low engine tunnel and no cross tunnel between the cab and crew area for more room and easier en route communication .

The Contender custom pumper now feature a new 152-inch long body style. This new body is engineered to deliver a full depth compartment in the lower rear side of the body for storage of larger equipment such as exhaust fans. In fact, the body provides an extra 21 cubic feet of storage space.

Contender custom pumper models offer anodized roll-up doors as standard equipment with lap doors are available as an option.

All Contender custom pumpers carry a 10-year limited body structural warranty.

Fire isn’t the only enemy. So are the elements. Extreme heat and cold can take their toll. Fight back with the air-conditioner unit and auxiliary heater found on the Contender® enclosed top mount pump panel apparatus. It’s the logical solution to keep you out of the elements and safer at the scene.

Plus, the Contender enclosed top mount pump panel is built on one of the most proven custom chassis on the market, giving you more space, better ride quality and improved maneuverability. And, because it’s a Contender® by Pierce, you already know no compromises were made.
