REV Group announced the launch of the KME PRO Series Rescue Pumper – a multi-purpose response vehicle –  featuring a newly engineered operator panel with ergonomically designed manual controls, increased pump operator safety features and ultimate equipment carrying capacity.

The KME PRO Series packs a 1,500 GPM single stage pump with a 750-gallon water tank and 25-gallon foam cell with provision for foam system installation. The 204” Extra-Long PRO body is constructed of 3/16” aluminum, equipped with roof compartments, stokes basket storage, Lock-N-Load hose bed cover and roll-up doors, as well as backboard and pike pole storage.

The benefits of the new PRO Rescue Pumper configuration include:

  • Ergonomically engineered manual control panel – new design with vertical swing and push-pull handles reduces complexity, increases reliability, optimizes operator pump training time and is overall easier to use – resulting in significantly increased operator efficiency and reduced cost of ownership
  • Relocated pump operator connections – positioned adjacent to the pump operator, provides safer operator area
  • Redesigned service access –  allows easy access to the pump from both sides of body without lifting the cab
  • 200” Wheelbase – provides maneuverable turning radius to operate in tight conditions
  • 534 cubic feet of compartment space – capable of carrying the equivalent of a large rescue body full of tools and equipment

“We saw the need for a rescue pumper that offered all the amenities and features for which the PROTM Series is known, with the added benefits of a control panel design that would improve operator use, safety and serviceabilty,” said Ryan Slane, Pumper/Tanker Product Manager, KME.  “By offering the PROTM Series with the new manual control configuration, we are able to provide a solution that simplifies operation and provides lower cost of ownership.”
