Sutphen Monarch Extreme Duty Chassis
The foundation of every Sutphen apparatus begins with the Monarch Extreme-Duty custom chassis. Featuring double frame rails and cross members, the chassis provides exceptional structural strength and durability. Sutphen's four-step paint process further enhances longevity by delivering superior corrosion protection throughout the life of the apparatus.
Inside the cab, operators benefit from a robust safety-focused design that incorporates heavy-wall 6061-T6 aluminum extrusions and heavy-duty aluminum plates, providing enhanced crash protection and occupant safety.
Sutphen Aerial Apparatus
All Sutphen aerial bodies are constructed from #304 stainless steel and Huck-bolted directly to the chassis frame, creating a durable and robust foundation.
Sutphen aerial devices are manufactured from high-grade, lightweight aluminum, helping reduce maintenance costs and overall vehicle weight. Despite their lighter construction, Sutphen aerials maintain a 3:1 safety factor, delivering the strength and reliability firefighters depend on.
Sutphen Pumpers
Sutphen pumpers are available with either 3/16-inch extruded aluminum bodies or #304 stainless steel bodies, providing departments with the flexibility to select the construction option that best aligns with their operational requirements.
