The HME Heavy Rescue / Tactical Support Apparatus is state-of-the-art precision designed and quality built for performance, operator safety and space efficiency. At HME we know that one size does not fit all, so we build each unit based on the specific needs of each application. Cab, chassis, running gear and apparatus body is engineered as a cohesive unit! Applying aviation technology to HME's design and manufacturing operations generates a higher strength to weight ratio than traditional welded stainless steel or aluminum construction. Brushed 12-gauge #304 stainless steel panels are precision laser cut, form folded and assembled using stainless fasteners with aircraft grade ESNA nuts. Our process not only ensures superior joint strength, but also provides for time effective assembly. Quality lasts!
