PUC is
available on Pierce custom chassis pumpers, rescue pumpers, top mount
pumpers and the 75' aluminum
aerial ladder.
EASIER TO USE
Easy. Does it.
Step 1.
Step 2.
That’s it. Want more steps to operate your pump?
You’ll have to go elsewhere.
Simplifying operations under extreme conditions means less
opportunity for things to go wrong. Pierce believes in making things
easier and more intuitive while helping you do your job better. And
smarter. And safer. With PUC, easy begins at the pump. Two-step
technology reduces shift operations to two easy steps while removing the
traditional grinding and uncertainty of putting a traditional mid-ship
pump into gear. The park-to-neutral feature places the transmission into
neutral automatically when the parking brake is set. The single-touch
water-foam-CAFS suppression selection located on the dash has the system
up and functional before the operator is out of the cab.
Get Pumped.
The 1500 gpm pump (rated from draft) weighs 30% less than most existing
pumps on the market. With a laundry list of high-performance features
and true pump and roll capabilities as standard, you’re ready to
perform, whatever the situation. It’s a pump built for performance, and
we stand behind it with a 6-year standard warranty. We enclosed the pump
operators panel to keep it clean of grime, grit, and moisture. The next
generation Control Zone™ pump panel is designed to fit the way you work
with:
- Large lever control handles that lock to prevent valve creep under
pressure
- A new multi-functional pressure governor
- Extra large engine RPM display
- Fuel level monitoring
- Pump prognostics
- Service messaging on pump display
- Brushed or polished stainless steel panels
- 10S stainless steel pipe increases inside diameter and maximizes
performance

EASIER TO STAY SAFE
A safer place to be.
Safety is built into every product we make. But we’ve raised the bar
again with the PUC, which boasts an impressive list of features – like
positioning the pump operator position next to hose connections instead
of over them. And incorporating chest height crosslays, chest height
ladder storage, ladder access to hosebed, 8"-12" lower hosebeds, and
stokes/backboard storage that you can reach from the ground – where you
belong.
You get walk-up access to the standard, stainless steel pump panel,
and pump panel positioning adjacent to the hose connections so there's no
more straddling or stumbling over hoses.

EASIER TO STORE MORE
We're giving you space. And then some.
You asked. We answered. Your responsibilities continue to change. Carry more
gear, more equipment - be ready for any call. The PUC features 26" deep
compartments and up to 500 cubic feet of big, clean, uncluttered storage
space with covered raceways, recessed shelf tracks and bright strip lighting
that reduces shelving shadows and gives excellent night-time visibility.
PUC also features a long list of optional 500 lbs. sliding floor trays,
dividers, tilt-out shelves, swinging tool boards, and reel mountings. You
can configure any of them with the roomy Pierce “jump-off” compartment (62"
wide, 26" deep and nearly 60" tall) near the rear of the passenger side cab
door for EMS, rescue or turnout gear or whatever you decide to store.

A tremendous body of work.
The PUC body incorporates space-enhancing formed construction supported with
the legendary Pierce® under slung system, consisting of 3/8" high strength
lateral frame extensions. These extensions are mounted right off the chassis
frame rails for a true, rock solid substructure that cradles the 12-gauge
body floors. From welding our bodies to using custom fasteners, Pierce is
dedicated to quality construction with your safety and performance in mind.
And while aluminum is standard, premium 304L stainless steel construction is
optional, so you still have a choice. No matter what style, the Pierce body
and support structure feature a no-nonsense 10-year structural warranty.
From frame to finish, no one builds apparatus like this.
You can also choose from the strongest, automotive-style hinged doors in the
industry with extra large quarter inch diameter hinge pins and dual gaskets
for a tighter fit and double protection for the equipment inside. Or we
offer a roll-up door designed and built exclusively for Pierce that carries
a lifetime mechanical and 6-year paint warranty.
EASIER TO SERVICE
It's easy to go full tilt.
A truck in for service is a truck out of service. Your apparatus should
spend more time on the front line protecting communities and less time in
the shop being serviced. The PUC is the answer for easier maintenance for
the plumbing and valves. PUC full-tilt access means no disassembly time to
get to the problem - meaning you spend minutes – not hours or days – to
rebuild a valve.
But, if down the line you need to rebuild the pump, just simply remove
the intake wye and you have complete “above the frame” access to the pump’s
wear ring, impeller and mechanical seal which will literally take days out
of the rebuild process. And because of the pump position above the frame,
there’s no more lying on your back underneath the truck. Go easy on yourself
and your maintenance crew. Go full tilt with PUC.
EASIER TO MANEUVER
A turn for the better.
Normally when there’s an addition there’s a subtraction. That’s not the case
here. PUC turns it up a notch with wheelbases as short as 172". To further
improve maneuverability, a fold-up rear work platform is cleverly designed
into the tailboard compartment that keeps the overall length to a minimum
while improving the angle of departure. Combine that with the Pierce® TAK-4®
Independent Front Suspension and 45° cramp angles, and you’ve got an
apparatus that makes handling and turning easier - more like an SUV than a
traditional apparatus.
