Pierce Fire Trucks
Founded in 1913, Wisconsin-based Pierce Manufacturing is one of the biggest and best-known manufacturers of fire trucks in the world. As a single-source manufacturer, they build their trucks from bumper to bumper with precision. They’re also a subsidiary of the Oshkosh Corporation, which means they have access to cutting-edge technology and revolutionary processes.
In 1939, Pierce built the first pumper on a Ford chassis with a Barton-American pump. Since then, they’ve been dedicated to producing new and improved fire apparatuses, becoming a leader in innovation for the industry. Over the years, they’ve developed safety and performance features such as side and front airbags, tilt cabs, suspension systems and other essential components that previously were not seen in fire apparatuses.
Today, firefighters throughout North America can trust Pierce as a trusted brand that manufactures each apparatus with them in mind. Pierce products all feature components that contribute to increased efficiency and enhanced safety to make work easier, faster and safer.
Many of our visitors find the Fenton Fire Equipment marketplace when looking to buy Pierce fire trucks. Whether you work for a municipal fire department or serve as a volunteer firefighter, you’ll find a wide range of used Pierce fire truck options through our marketplace.

- An experienced team: Many Pierce employees are firefighters themselves, so they know firsthand the importance of what you do. They are driven to find solutions that will help you get your job done safely and efficiently.

Types of Pierce Fire Apparatuses
Pierce manufactures many different types of fire apparatuses, including the following:
- Custom chassis: Pierce custom chassis are designed with heavy-duty construction to withstand demanding use. They’re also made with enhanced maneuverability, so you can approach a scene and handle any obstacles with confidence. Pierce custom chassis include features for operator comfort and safety too, such as thick-walled castings, structural extrusions for increased durability, a rugged metal interior, intuitive controls, air conditioning and more.
- Commercial chassis: Pierce builds on commercial chassis from Perterbilt, International, Freightliner, Kenworth and Ford. These streamlined stock options allow for competitive prices and flexibility, so they can work well for large municipal departments and small, rural customers alike.
- Aerials: When you need to tackle a risky situation, you need a ladder or platform you can count on. Pierce aerials are designed for reliable performance in even the harshest conditions, whether you’re putting a ventilation team on a roof or rescuing someone from a 10th-story window. Pierce aerial equipment is subject to advanced testing to ensure that it meets or exceeds NFPA 1901 standards. It’s also tested by third parties and certified in strict Type 1 requirements by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
- PUC: Pierce PUC is the first tilt cab emergency response vehicle explicitly designed for modern fire duties. With the PUC, the pumphouse is eliminated, so your apparatus can be built around your specific needs rather than around the pump. It also minimizes fire suppression space and maximizes equipment space while still providing foam, CAFS and big pump capabilities. PUCs are available on aerials, pumpers and tankers.
- Pumpers: Pierce pumpers are available in a variety of body lengths. Whether you need a short body for greater mobility in urban areas, a medium body for extra storage space or a longer body to haul large amounts of water in a rural setting, plenty of options are available. Pierce also manufactures high-flow apparatuses for tackling large-scale industrial fires.
- Rescues: Pierce rescues feature walk-in, nonwalk-in and combination apparatuses. Whether you need to prioritize storage space, personnel transport or a combination of the two, there’s a Pierce rescue apparatus that will meet your needs. And with a wide range of best-in-class features such as Command Zone prognostics and independent front suspension, your rescue department can count on Pierce rescues to be extremely safe and comfortable.
- Tankers: With a wide range of water capacities and equipment features, Pierce tankers offer the flexibility you need for transporting water to a fire scene. They can haul thousands of gallons of water with stowed equipment on both sides and still comfortably accommodate hose lines. In fact, they’re designed to transport all this while providing a smooth ride and enhanced maneuverability.
