Meet Your Deadlines With Quick Delivery Fire Trucks
When it comes time to purchase a new fire truck for your station, most fire departments get sucked into a waiting game that can take up to one year and longer if any customization work is needed on the vehicle. There is no time to waste when it comes to preparing and equipping your fire station with the best emergency response vehicles available.
Keep reading to learn how you can “cut the line” and take advantage of quick delivery fire trucks from Ward Apparatus to meet your lead time deadlines.
Planned Stock Fire Trucks & Spec Trucks vs Fully Customized Fire Trucks
Currently, fire truck production timelines are drawn out and new builds may take longer than one year to complete. Purchasing planned stock fire trucks or spec fire trucks will allow you to take advantage of trucks that are already in the build production process, or at least scheduled for production on a backlog, reducing the lead time until it’s complete when compared to opting to purchase a new, custom fire truck. Depending on the stage of the planned vehicle’s production, you may also be able to request customizations to meet your specific needs and applications.
Ultimately, choosing to purchase planned stock fire trucks and spec fire trucks will allow you to take advantage of a reduced fire truck production timeline and get your truck in service sooner so your crew can be as prepared as possible for their next call.
At Ward Apparatus, we are continually manufacturing new stock units and spec fire trucks for sale to ensure we meet the needs of our customers and reduce fire truck production timelines. Through our continual fire truck production, we aim to have new stock and spec fire trucks available for sale within six to 12 months to accommodate your timeline needs. We manufacture a range of stock and custom fire trucks and emergency response vehicles to meet every need and application including:
Reduced Fire Truck Production Timelines Through Ward Apparatus
At Ward Apparatus, we are a team of industry experts who have experience working with fire departments and emergency responders to help them design and purchase their ideal fire truck or emergency response vehicle. We aim to continually provide planned in-stock fire trucks for purchase through our website and we currently have a backlog of fire trucks in production to meet your needs. Our goal is to have more stock units on the ground and ready to go by Q1 of 2026, cutting the average fire truck production timeline by several months.
Depending on where the fire truck is in the production or backlog process, Ward Apparatus may be able to partner with you to customize the fire truck build to your specific needs with features including:
- Counters
- Pull Out Trays/ Tables
- Storage Compartments
- Equipment Storage
- Computer Station
- Rally Point/ Rehab
Ward Apparatus can add these customization features and more to your fire truck build. However, the further along the truck is in the production process, the less customization will be available, unless a full custom fire truck build is desired. All Ward Apparatus vehicles also come with Ward Diesel Filter System’s NO SMOKE Exhaust Filtration System that automatically eliminates toxic chemicals from the vehicle’s exhaust when it’s running, prioritizing the health of your crew at the station and on-scene of an emergency.
