KME Fire Apparatus Introduces Severe Service ST™ Cab at FDIC International 2019

NESQUEHONING, PA— KME Fire Apparatus, an industry-leading manufacturer of fire apparatus announces the launch of the new extreme-duty cab, the Severe Service ST at FDIC International 2019, April 11-13, at the Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, IN in the REV Fire Group booth #4100. The new Severe Service ST was specifically designed for departments who want the strength and durability of a stainless steel cab design as well as the ease of use in tight environments.

The Severe Service ST was built with compact areas in mind. The main feature is that the cab can be tilted inside almost any fire station for access to the engine. The 96” cab width makes this an ideal choice for urban environments, yet still provides ample space for the driver and officer with a specially designed engine enclosure to maximize spacing at the elbow, hip and knee areas. This new cab design also extends the crew area, making it possible to house a command unit.

The benefits of the new Severe Service ST include:

  • Stainless Steel Design: Stainless Steel provides durability and strength.
  • Split Tilt: The split tilt design makes it easy and practical to tilt the cab inside the station. 
  • Stationary Rear Cab: This design makes it possible to house a command center in the cab where desks and computer stations will not tilt. 

“The Severe Service ST cab allows KME to offer a spacious, extended length cab utilizing stainless steel material and is another unique design in our cab family,” states Pete Hoherchak, Product Manager at KME.
