Highland
Our Highland Model body application can be provided as a quick response unit, rescue unit, mini pumper or to support other various other department functions. The Highland model application has evolved utilizing many of the best practices and robust manufacturing products and techniques utilized in our long-recognized Type 6 Wildland Engines and support apparatus allowing for BFX Fire to take advantage of the evolution of a product dating back more than 30 years. All of our apparatus are NFPA 1906 or 1901 compliant dependent on the intended use and have been designed to meet or exceed the standards of Federal and State Agencies, and municipal and volunteer departments across the country.
The Highland model is equipped with a proprietary composite apparatus body with roll up doors, utilizing stainless, aluminum, or combinations of these built to last materials integrated into the package to accommodate the variations agency / department needs. BFX Fire Apparatus has years of experience in constructing light truck applications with the firefighter in mind, be it rural, suburban or urban. Our trucks are made of a lightweight composite material that will never rust or corrode, adding years of useful life compared to the heavier all-metal construction of other brush trucks.
While the Highland application was not specifically designed for full duty off road application and better fits as an urban interface unit the same understructure deign as utilized in our wildland series light engines is standard. Our light engines and support vehicles are in service daily throughout the nation in some of the most challenging settings imaginable. BFX Fire Apparatus’ understructure is specifically engineered to withstand the rigors of the off-road environment and united with our flexible mounting system. We are proud to say that we have never experienced a failure with our understructure/flexible mounting system on any of our apparatus.
