Darley now offers apparatus with the PolyBilt StakPak Wildland body. This high-strength polymer body is specifically designed for wildland applications that need extra compartment space, a short wheelbase and good ground clearance.

The PolyBilt StakPak Wildland body features a special drop-down compartment in the front that provides additional space for equipment. A preconnected hosebed is provided on top of the body on the driver side, and a hard-suction storage area is provided on top of the body on the passenger side. The booster reel is contained within the body at the right-hand rear of the body for easy deployment.

A demonstrator model of the new body has been installed on a Ford F-550 chassis. It includes an Odin Derringer CAFS unit with a rear pump panel and a 380-gallon water tank with an integral 25-gallon foam tank.

For more information, call Darley at 800-323-0244 or go to www.darley.com.
