Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. <br />• Retarder <br />• LR 100 Amp Node <br />• 300 Amp EPU <br />• 100 Amp Front O/R Node <br />• 100 Amp T/T Node <br />• 100 Amp RR O/R Node <br />• 10 Amp EPU <br />• Master Power <br />• 12 Volt Power <br />• Aerial Hours <br />• Pump In Drive <br />Windshield Washer Fluid <br />APPARATUSTYPE <br />The apparatus shall be a pumper vehicle designed for emergency service use which shall be equipped <br />with a permanently mounted fire pump which has a minimum rated capacity of 750 gallons per minute <br />(3000 L/min). The apparatus shall include a water tank and hose body whose primary purpose is to <br />combat structural and associated fires. <br />VEHICLE TYPE <br />The chassis shall be manufactured for use as a straight truck type vehicle and designed for the installation <br />of a permanently mounted apparatus behind the cab. The apparatus of the vehicle shall be supplied and <br />installed by the apparatus manufacturer. <br />VEHICLE ANGLE OF APPROACH PACKAGE <br />The angle of approach of the apparatus shall be a minimum of 8.00 degrees. <br />NFPA1901 Angle of Approach definition: <br />"To determine the angle of approach, place a thin steel strip against the front of the tires where they <br />touch the ground or stretch a tight string from one front tire to the other at the front where they touch the <br />ground. Determine the lowest point (component or equipment) on the vehicle forward of the front tire <br />that would make the smallest angle of approach. Hang a plumb bob from the lowest point and mark the <br />point on the ground where the point of the plumb bob touches. Measure the vertical distance from the <br />ground to the point where the plumb bob was hung (distance V). Measure the horizontal distance from <br />the plumb bob point to the steel strip or string running from front tire to front tire (distance H). Divide <br />the vertical distance by the horizontal distance. The ratio of V/H is the tangent of the angle of approach. <br />If the ratio is known, the angle of approach can be determined from a table of trigonometric functions of <br />angles or from a math calculator. The standard requires a minimum angle of approach of 8.00 degrees: <br />since the tangent of 8.00 degrees is 0.1405, if V divided by H is 0.1405 or larger, the angle of approach is <br />8.00 degrees or greater." <br />AXLE CONFIGURATION <br />The chassis shall feature a 6 x 4 axle configuration consisting of a tandem rear drive axle set with a <br />single front steer axle. <br />GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATINGS FRONT <br />07/26/22 <br />7- <br />
