Delivering Strength Through Excellence

THE PIONEER IN EXTRUDED ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION

A recognized industry leader, E-ONE was the first fire truck manufacturer to build extruded aluminum cabs and bodies. The all-aluminum design is the result of our advanced engineering and pioneering innovation to build strength and durability into every product.

CAB CONSTRUCTION

  • The most demanding jobs call for the strongest equipment. That’s why E-ONE builds cabs with a roll cage-type design and heavy-duty materials, for strength and safety. Thicker aluminum extrusions are used throughout, including the center of the roof, which can support five times the NFPA/SAE load requirements—an industry-exclusive feature. Contributing to the strength are vertical extrusions at the rear of the cab and a wishbone subframe with rails that run the length of the cab.
  • Perimeter roof extrusions with integral drip rails
  • Mid-cab roof support structure utilizing 3”x3” vertical posts and 3”x3”x 3/8” wall horizontal beam
  • Vertical extrusions at rear of cab tie roof structure to subframe
  • Heavy wall wishbone subframe extrusions run entire length of cab
  • 3/16” plate on entire outside surface, including roof and doors

TORQUE BOX CHASSIS

Part of our unique DNA is the E-ONE torque box chassis that runs the entire length of the chassis, providing strength and stability for aerial operations. This allows our aerials to support up to 1,305 lbs. on the end of the aerial without twisting or lifting any support legs. It’s so stable, the front wheels can even be lifted off the ground if the terrain requires. The 2.5:1 structural safety factor of the aerial device is also designed into the E-ONE integral torque box chassis to deliver a solid foundation for aerial operations. The torque box chassis, combined with other exclusive E-ONE engineering features, truly makes our trucks the powerhouse in your firehouse.

ANTI-CORROSION SYSTEM

Emergencies demand equipment that stands up to every challenge, every time. That’s why we engineer our products with the E-ONE Anti-Corrosion System. It reduces or eliminates corrosion through a combination of design features, material choices and hardened electrical. Every detail of the E-ONE Anti-Corrosion System is meticulously engineered to provide lasting durability and performance.

  • Galvanized and powder-coated frame rails standard
  • Geomet coated bolts for chassis construction
  • Integrated all-aluminum subframe and body
  • Our stainless steel bodies use marine-grade stainless steel subframe
  • Stainless steel bodies available with fiberglass reinforced body panels (FRP)
  • Corrosion-resistant air tanks are powder coated on the inside
  • Aluminized steel or stainless steel fuel tanks with stainless steel fuel tank straps
  • Hardened electrical system

CRISSCROSS UNDERSLUNG JACKS

Tight spaces are no match for the E-ONE crisscross underslung jacks. Featuring a crisscross aerial design with a jack spread as narrow as 11′ (depending on the model), these innovative jacks deliver one of the narrowest operational footprints in the industry. Their low-profile design not only allows the jacks to be fully extended in confined areas for unrestricted aerial operation, but it also provides additional compartmentation and contributes to a lower center of gravity for improved vehicle handling.

Durable Body Designs—Choose the material that works best for your needs

You have unique requirements, so E-ONE offers body design and fabrication processes, customized to your department’s specific needs, with one of the industry’s most durable frames.

Extruded Aluminum Body

Our unique, all-aluminum, high-strength extrusions minimize the amount of accident damage to the cab. Because of the modular design, repairs to the body can be made in sections. E-ONE’s all-aluminum, extruded body is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and provides years of trouble-free service. The all-welded tongue-and-groove design is superior to a bolted design, and every E-ONE body is backed by our 10-year structural warranty.

 

  1. Uses 4-sided seamless extrusions interlocked and welded to 3/16” aluminum plating.
  2. Wiring harnesses installed along extrusions provide easy access and protection from elements.
  3. Drip rails are bonded to the body to reduce corrosion and direct water run-off away from the compartment.
  4. Compartment interiors include vented louvers and have a natural finish or swirled surface, or are coated with multi-tone paint. Wiring harnesses installed along extrusions provide easy access and protection from the elements.
  5. Interlocking aluminum extrusions with aluminum plates throughout the bodies result in a strong, yet lightweight vehicle.
  6. All-welded construction. Structural roll cage body design assists with protecting the chassis in the event of a rollover.
  7. Booster tanks are cradled in floating mount system to reduce tank stress and limit road shock.

Stainless Steel Body

E-ONE’s stainless steel apparatus body is made entirely of stainless steel, including hinged doors and the sub-frame. Break-form construction provides a lighter, stronger stainless steel body with double and triple bends. Unitized 12-gauge stainless steel enhances weight distribution, increases equipment storage and water capacities—up to 1,000 gallons of water on a 24,000 lb. rear axle. E-ONE’s stainless steel product offers a unique, patented Fiberglass Reinforced Panel (FRP) paint process, covered by our 10-year, non-prorated paint warranty. Repairs are quick and cost-effective because the fiberglass reinforced panels are cut to size, painted and overlaid onto the truck body.

 

  1. Body mounts include a double-flex system, which allows up and down movement, creating a smoother ride and reducing stress on the main body structure.
  2. For strength, 7 GA (3/16”) stainless steel tube body support structure.
  3. Unitized formed-body design maintains high strength with overall vehicle weight reduction.
  4. 100% stainless steel body structure and steel subframe provide superior corrosion resistance.
  5. FRP paint process consists of fiberglass reinforced panels that are cut to size, painted and overlaid onto the truck body, allowing for an automotive paint finish and enabling quick, low-cost repairs. The process has been proven over a 15-year period. FRP is available with roll-up door configurations.
  6. Bright stainless compartment interiors for a maintenance-free uniform finish.
  7. Type 304L marine-grade stainless steel contains the high chromium content necessary to form a passive film of chromium oxide which prevents surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from forming in the metal’s internal structure.

THE MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE WAY TO TEST YOUR ARFF VEHICLE’S FOAM SYSTEM

The ECOLOGIC® mobile test system is an input-based testing system designed to provide fire departments the means to test the accuracy of their foam system without the expense or environmental impact of using foam to perform an output-based test. A single cart can be used to test multiple trucks and is an excellent system for retrofitting vehicles currently in your fleet.
