E-ONE, a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc. and a foremost manufacturer of fire apparatus, announce the delivery of an E-ONE HR 100 ladder truck to the Auburn Fire Department in Auburn, NY.
To allow for ample equipment storage space, Auburn Fire Department chose a tandem axle, no-pump, no-tank design.
Features and Design
The body features full-height, full-depth compartments, and a large forward transverse compartment.
A well-thought-out assortment of roll-out trays, shelving, and tool boards provides firefighters quick access to equipment and tools.
This truck also features several options to increase maneuverability including a raised lower rear body for additional ground clearance and 45-degree rear corners to reduce tail swing and to help navigate Auburn’s tight city streets.

Feedback From Department Personnel
“The maneuverability and handling of the vehicle is impressive,” said Auburn Fire Chief Mark Fritz.
“The 12′ outrigger spread allows us to operate in places we previously were unable to. Having the ability to carry a total of 225′ of ground ladders while keeping the overall length and wheelbase to a minimum was a requirement.”
“E-ONE was able to accomplish this and still incorporate a large amount of compartmentation. Feedback from department personnel has been positive and we expect many years of service with this aerial.”
Tandem Axle Design
“The Auburn unit is an extension of the growing family of HR 100 aerial configurations,” said Joe Hedges, E-ONE Product Manager.
“The tandem axle design with no pump or tank provides a large amount of equipment storage capacity. This unit also features our new increased width ladder tunnel option providing additional capacity for ground ladders.”
