“The Pierce PUC is ideal for municipal firefighting and emergency response challenges; its innovative technologies and compact design make it a vehicle worthy of close inspection for fire and emergency departments attending Interschutz,” said Jim Johnson, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Fire & Emergency. “From its space saving firefighting system to its smaller overall size, the PUC has proven itself on narrow streets and in tight quarters.”
The PUC is a multi-purpose response vehicle that is engineered to eliminate the need for a bulky pumphouse. The PUC features a simplified two-step pump shift operation and redesigned pump panel for easier use. The entire pump system is located above the frame for easier and quicker service and maintenance. With a wheelbase for improved maneuverability (as short as 4.37 meters/172-inches), the PUC also provides up to 14.16 cubic-meters (500 cubic feet) of equipment storage. The PUC is available on all Pierce custom chassis in side and top mount pump panel configurations, as well as on 22.9-meter (75-foot) aluminum aerial ladders.
