ALUMINUM BODY CONSTRUCTION
The apparatus body shall be fabricated from 1/8" 5052-H32, smooth aluminum sheet. The total outside
width of the apparatus body shall not exceed 100 inches (2.54 meters). The width measurement of the
sidewalls shall be made from the outside wall of the two opposite sides of the body.

The complete apparatus body shall be fabricated utilizing the break and bend techniques in order to form
a strong, yet flexible, uni-body structure. The body shall be constructed with holding fixtures to ensure
proper dimensioning. Each apparatus body is specific in design in order to meet the unique requirements
of the purchasing fire department.

The main body compartments on each side, as well as the rear center compartment if applicable, shall
contain a sweep out floor design. Each compartment shall be made to the most practical dimensions in
order to provide maximum storage capacity for the fire department's equipment. The door opening
threshold shall be positioned lower than the compartment floor permitting easy cleaning of the
compartments.

Continuous, solid welded seams shall be located at the upper front and upper rear corners of the
apparatus body. The flooring of all lower, main body compartmentation shall also have solid weld seams.
All door jams, on both the top and the bottom, shall be solid welded as well. Each main door jam shall
consist of a double jam design; this is comparable to a double struck frame design, which provides
superior strength and durability. All double door jams are to be welded together utilizing the plug weld
technique. All remaining compartment walls shall be stitch welded.

The compartment floors, specifically L1 and R1, shall have a minimum of two (2) 1" x 2" rectangular tubes
welded to the entire width of the compartment floor. The two (2) rear side compartments as well as the
rear center compartment, if applicable, shall be welded to the rear deck support structure. This rear deck
support structure is specially designed for the galvanized apparatus body substructure. A minimum of two
(2) squares tubes, which are 1/4" x 3" x 3", shall run the entire width of the body from sidewall to sidewall.
Each lower, rear compartment shall be adequately stitch welded to the cross tubes providing strength and
durability to the entire apparatus body.

The body design shall include a "false wall" design in the lower portion of each lower, rear compartment.
This "false wall" is required in order to allow for easy accessibility to the rear electrical components found
in the rear tail light cluster area.

On the upper area of the apparatus body, directly above the side compartment door openings, a header
is to be fabricated from smooth, aluminum sheet. This area shall be free from any body seams and shall
be painted the same color as the apparatus body. The height of the header may vary depending on the
following factors: apparatus design, lettering requirements, scene lights and warning light requirements as
well as various other options. A "J" channel shall be incorporated into the body design in order to provide
a rain gutter to further assist in preventing excessive moisture from getting into the compartments.
