MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
REV Group (NYSE:REVG), a $2.4 billion manufacturer of industry-leading
specialty vehicle brands and leading provider of parts and services,
announced today the launch of the KME PROTM Series Rescue
Pumper – a multi-purpose response vehicle – featuring a newly engineered
operator panel with ergonomically designed manual controls, increased
pump operator safety features and ultimate equipment carrying capacity.
The KME PROTM Series packs a 1,500 GPM single stage pump with
a 750-gallon water tank and 25-gallon foam cell with provision for foam
system installation. The 204” Extra-Long PROTM body is
constructed of 3/16” aluminum, equipped with roof compartments, stokes
basket storage, Lock-N-LoadTM hose bed cover and roll-up
doors, as well as backboard and pike pole storage.
The benefits of the new PROTM Rescue Pumper configuration
include:
-
Ergonomically engineered manual control panel – new design with
vertical swing and push-pull handles reduces complexity, increases
reliability, optimizes operator pump training time and is overall
easier to use – resulting in significantly increased operator
efficiency and reduced cost of ownership
-
Relocated pump operator connections – positioned adjacent to the pump
operator, provides safer operator area
-
Redesigned service access – allows easy access to the pump from both
sides of body without lifting the cab
-
200” Wheelbase – provides maneuverable turning radius to operate in
tight conditions
-
534 cubic feet of compartment space – capable of carrying the
equivalent of a large rescue body full of tools and equipment
“We saw the need for a rescue pumper that offered all the amenities and
features for which the PROTM Series is known, with the added
benefits of a control panel design that would improve operator use,
safety and serviceability,” said Ryan Slane, Pumper/Tanker Product
Manager, KME. “By offering the PROTM Series with the new
manual control configuration, we are able to provide a solution that
simplifies operation and provides lower cost of ownership.”
