Emergency Vehicle Refurbishment

Refurbishment Case Study - Oakville Fire Dept. - Ontario, Canada


Oakville has placed one of the most sophisticated command and communications vehicles in Ontario into service. Other than the fact that it features Hackney’s VisionComms interoperable communications system, the concept utilized a reserve pumper that was re-purposed by Hackney from a pumper to a modern mobile command vehicle, saving the city over $180,000 over the cost of a new chassis. Hackney completely repainted the cab and sandblasted and stretched the chassis frame rails. To provide maximum storage efficiency for storage of folding tables and chairs the frame was dropped and pinched behind the cab. View more information on this vehicle.
