SVI #774 Page 20 of 126 April 19, 2010
MODEL
The chassis shall be a Gladiator model. The cab and chassis shall include design considerations for multiple emergency
vehicle applications, rapid transit and maneuverability. The chassis shall be manufactured for heavy duty service with the
strength and capacity to support a fully laden apparatus, one hundred (100) percent of the time.
MODEL YEAR
The chassis shall have a vehicle identification number that reflects a 2009 model year.
COUNTRY OF SERVICE
The chassis shall be put in service in the country of United States of America (USA).
APPARATUS TYPE
The apparatus shall be a rescue vehicle designed for emergency service use which shall include the functions of a
multipurpose vehicle which primarily provides support services at emergency scenes.
VEHICLE TYPE
The chassis shall be manufactured for use as a straight truck type vehicle and designed for the installation of a
permanently mounted apparatus behind the cab. The apparatus of the vehicle shall be supplied and installed by the
apparatus manufacturer.
AXLE CONFIGURATION
The chassis shall feature a 4 X 2 axle configuration consisting of a single rear drive axle with a single front steer axle.
GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATINGS FRONT
The front gross axle weight rating (GAWR) of the chassis shall be 21,500 pounds.
This front gross axle weight rating shall be adequate to carry the weight of the completed apparatus including all
equipment and personnel.
GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATINGS REAR
The rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR) of the chassis shall be 27,000 pounds.
This rear gross axle weight rating shall be adequate to carry the weight of the completed apparatus including all
equipment and personnel.
CAB STYLE
The cab shall be a custom, enclosed model, built specifically for the fire service by a company specializing in cab and
chassis design for all fire service applications.
The cab shall be manufactured for heavy-duty service utilizing adequate strength and capacity for the application of
protecting firefighters. The cab shall be of a modular design offering improved strength, durability and reduced weight.
The modular design shall allow for faster, less costly replacement of components. Per pound, sheet panel aluminum
extrusions offer a higher tensile strength, 45,000 PSI, and yield strength, 40,000 PSI, than that of lower grade sheet such
as 3003-H13. For this reason, the cab shall be of aluminum extrusion construction, which shall offer superior strength and
the truest, flattest surface ensuring less expensive paint repairs if needed.
