Rugged, right-sized fire apparatus on a proven commercial chassis — the pumping power and layout your department needs, at a price that fits the budget and reaches your station faster. Configured to your spec and backed by local Heiman service.
A commercial-chassis pumper delivers the pumping power and layout your department needs at a price that fits the budget — and, because the chassis is readily available, it reaches your station faster than a custom build.
Choose any pump position, any body and any major commercial chassis — International, Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Ford. Every build carries a fire pump sized to your flow and a G3 Fire tank, is configured to your spec, and is backed by in-house Heiman service.
Need more truck — more pump, more seating, full pumper-tanker or rescue capability? We build custom-chassis pumpers too, and we’ll price both so you can see the trade.
Tell us your chassis preference, pump position, target flow and water. Heiman will lay out the build with the body, pump and options to match — and back it locally.

A full crew cab on a commercial chassis — room for the whole company up front, with side- or top-mount pump controls.
The lean, budget-minded build — a two-door commercial cab with an optional custom seating module when you need a couple more seats.
Frees compartment space for equipment; pump controls on the operator, back or curb side, flowing multiple lines at once.
When weather is a hurdle, an enclosed panel protects the operator — electric valves or a sealed lever-bank keep controls dry and corrosion-free.
A nimble, right-sized rig on a light commercial chassis — fast to the scene for grass, brush and quick-attack work where a full engine is too much truck.
There’s nothing like Rosenbauer’s SMART Cab — a premium crew cab available on your commercial chassis. Designed for comfort en route and for rehab on scene, with a full rescue-pumper body behind it.
Rosenbauer’s rural/urban pumper-tanker on a short-wheelbase commercial chassis — built for departments without hydrants. Pump-and-roll for grass and brush, a big tank for initial attack, and the maneuverability to get down back roads.
Pump options from the major brands — Waterous, Darley, Hale and more — matched to what your fleet already runs.
A commercial pumper is built on the cab-and-chassis your department wants — International, Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth or Ford. Matching the make you already run keeps parts, service and driver familiarity consistent across your fleet, and commercial chassis are readily available, so your truck reaches the station sooner.
Industry-leading Rosenbauer N & NH single-stage fire pumps — volume and pressure in an efficient, low-maintenance package. Other major pump brands are available too, so we can match whatever your fleet already runs.
Two ways to build the body — the premium extruded EXT with a lifetime transferable warranty, or the value-focused formed FX. Both fully customizable in aluminum or stainless.
The premium extruded-aluminum body — the strongest, longest-lived construction, with a lifetime transferable warranty.
The value-focused formed body in 1/8″ or 3/16″ aluminum or stainless — fully customizable and proven in service.
G3 Fire is Heiman’s own tank shop. Every commercial pumper we put in service can carry a G3 Fire water tank — formed from corrosion-proof copolymer polypropylene and fabricated in-house for a precision fit, built and backed by the same team that delivers and services your truck.
Let’s be honest about how a lot of these decisions get made. A recognized name on the door carries pride, and a shiny flagship rig looks good in the photo at the council meeting — that pull is real, and every one of us has felt it. But pride and image are an emotion, and emotion is a big part of what the premium is actually buying. The badge doesn’t move more water, build a stronger body, or add a year of service life.
And that premium isn’t coming out of your pocket — it’s the city’s money and the taxpayers’. A Rosenbauer commercial pumper puts the same fire pump, the same G3 Fire tank and an EXT body with a lifetime transferable warranty on the commercial chassis you already service — for far less than a premium custom badge. Same fireground capability, a budget you can defend line by line.
The answers to these shape the whole build. Work through them with your crew and bring them to the table — we’ll steer you to the right pumper.
Every commercial pumper Heiman delivers is built to the pumper fire apparatus requirements of NFPA 1900 — the consolidated standard that now folds in NFPA 1901.
A permanently mounted fire pump rated at least 750 GPM — the defining requirement of a pumper.
Certified minimum tank capacity so the crew can make an initial attack before a supply line is established.
Weather-resistant, enclosed compartment space for the required pumper equipment complement.
Hosebed sized for 2½″ or larger supply hose, plus two areas for 1½″ or larger preconnects.
Carries the standard’s ground-ladder complement — straight roof ladder, extension ladder and folding attic ladder.
Or 15 ft of soft supply hose, so the pumper can draft from static sources or take a hydrant.
NFPA 1901 (Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus) has been consolidated into the comprehensive NFPA 1900. Figures shown are the standard’s minimums for this apparatus type; Heiman and Rosenbauer build to those minimums and well beyond.
