It took HME Ahrens-Fox to engineer and build a truck tough enough to be called the CAT ^TM, City Attack Truck. From its heavy duty HME chassis to the toughest body in the bussiness, the CAT^TM was designed for those departments that appreciate its low hose bed, enough space to hold all your EMS and firefighting equipment and features such as HME Ahrens-Fox exclusive Hydra Technology^TM high efficency water delivery systems. If you need the most affordable, most maneuverable, most efficient and longest lasting pumper on the market today, the CAT^TM is right up your alley.

Careful attention to detail has been addressed by HME Ahrens-Fox engineers on the CAT^TM body as evidenced by the stainless steel tread plate compartment overlays and the notched corner design that adds strength and allows recessed mounting of telescoping lights.

The heart of the CAT^TM is the exclusive Hydra Technology water delivery system. The independent pump house allows the pump system to flex without distortion or cracking. With pumping capacities up to 2,250-GPM and foam system options, including the new MAD DOG^TM CAFs system, the CAT^TM can be tailored to meet your firepower needs.


Customize the CAT^TM to meet your exact needs. Recessed hose wells can be provided in the steps under the pump panel to hold trash lines or soft suctions. Choose from gas, diesel or PTO powered generators, 12-volt to 240-volt telescoping lights and a selection of light towers to put the right light on your night time operations. The CAT^TM can be equipped with a wide variety of shelving, slide out trays and tool mounting boards to carry your equipment efficiently and safely. The CAT^TM offers a number of sensible equipment storage options such as the Low-Stow^TM hose bed parition designed to safely enclose a back board, piercing nozzles and pike poles.

No more having to step up to stretch hose when the chips are down. The easy to reach design allows low mounting of attack monitors and the partitions can be customized to carry a varitey of equipment. Maintenance and safety issues were a prime concern when the CAT^TM was designed. For example, all marker, turn and tail lights, as well as the pump panel lights, are long-life LEDs. No more slippery aluminum tread plate. The CAT's^TM step areas are all stainless steel with gripping surfaces that far surpass NFPA requirements.

The CAT^TM by HME Ahrens-Fox has been specially designed for the department with high call activity levels. High durability has been engineered into the sturdy HME custom chassis and hard bolted stainless steel body. The Low-Stow^TM equipment mounting locations put items such as backboards, pike poles, ladders and hose lines within easy reach of firefighters standing on the ground. The Hydra Technology^TM pump systems offer a large number or pump options and the CAT^TM is truly a maximum pumper in a minimum package.
