REV Group, a $2.4 billion manufacturer of industry-leading specialty vehicle brands and leading provider of parts and services, announced the delivery of the first KME Talon High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET). The Talon delivers the unique ability to have a high reach extendable turret installed on a custom pumper while maintaining a short overall length and wheelbase.
The benefits of the Talon HRET include:
- An elevated 1,000 GPM (gallons per minute) master stream that is manuverable to position around obstruction and wires around the fire ground
- Cab and body avoidance system with automatic stow and deploy features for ease of use
- Wireless remote controls for boom and monitor functions
- Optional piercing nozzle, dry chemical systems, and camera/thermal image systems
“Being customer-focused and solutions-driven, our customers requested this product and KME responded,” said Pete Hoherchak, Aerial Product Manager, KME. “We are extremely pleased to add the Talon HRET to our product line as it further strengthens the KME portfolio of solutions for our customers. The Talon articulating and telescoping water tower is designed to complement our custom chassis pumper for structural firefighting.”
Lindenwold, NJ, Fire District No. 1 has accepted delivery of the first KME Talon HRET. Mike Nolan, Lindenwold Fire Department, Executive Fire Administrator commented, “This truck will be an asset to our department in many ways. One of the reasons we selected the Talon HRET is it addresses our needs for the 24 apartment complexes that our department serves.”
