Recent Deliveries - East Zorra - Tavistock, ON (Tavistock Station)

The Tavistock Station of the East Zorra - Tavistock Township Fire Department took Delivery of this Metalfab Tandem Pumper/Tanker on July 24, 2013.  This unit was the third unit purchased by the township but it was the first Metalfab unit at the Tavistock Station.

 
This tandem Pumper/Tanker was installed on a Freightliner M2 106 Four Door Chassis.  The chassis was equipped with a Cummins ISL 350 HP Diesel Engine and a Allison EVS 3000 Automatic Transmission.  The chassis was complete with Aluminum wheels and dual fender mounted air horns with dual lanyard controls overhead in the interior of the cab.

The pump on this unit was a Hale PSD 840 IGPM PTO Driven pump.  Where this was a PTO Driven pump, it had Pump and Roll Capability.  All piping was stainless steel and the pump panel was in a side mount configuration.  The Poly Water Tank had a capacity of 2,500 Imperial Gallons.  The truck was also equipped with a 10" Newton dump with Rotating and Telescopic chute and Two 4" Direct Tank Fills at the rear of the unit.



The extruded aluminum body featured a combination of high side and low side compartments on the
left side of the unit.  The right side of the unit had a combination of intermediate and low side compartments.  Rear Access to the main hose bed was achieved by a Zico Quic Ladder.  On the left side fender top a portable tank was stored in a manual drop down rack.  The right side fender top had a manual drop down ladder rack. 


Metalfab would like to thank the East Zorra - Tavistock Township Fire Department and the Tavistock Station for choosing Metalfab to manufacture this new Pumper/Tanker.
