HUB Innovations 

At HUB we pride ourselves in our customized design and construction for each fire apparatus. This flexibility has led to industry innovations.

 

SCBA STORAGE
We are capable of designing a fire apparatus body which allows for the storage of 8 bottles in the smallest fender size in the industry while still allowing for full size compartments above.

MODULAR BODY CONSTRUCTION
We are the first manufacturer to adopt modular body construction (pump house, body and walkway all separately attached to the frame).  This style of construction allows for better long term performance of the body with less maintenance. 


CHECKER PLATE HOSE COVER
We have designed a hose cover that is built to withstand the walking weight of at least 500lbs yet light enough for one person to lift open the cover.

MAXIMUM COMPARTMENT SPACE
As each of our fire apparatus are custom designed and constructed so we can help a fire department design a truck body that allows for maximum compartment space while working with your desired tank size and configuration.

 


FORMED AND GUSSET RODS
We are the only manufacturer to use formed and gusset rods in our plumbing. This allows for smoother valve operation with significantly less maintenance required.

CAFS
Through installing, retro-fitting and performing annual maintenance checks of all major brands of foam and Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS), we have become industry-leading CAFS experts. 


HUB PLASTICS
