PUC Features
Easier to use
It begins at the pump, a two-step technology.

Get Pumped
The 1500 gpm pump (rated from draft) weighs 30% less than most existing pumps on the market. 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

Pierce believes in making things easier and more intuitive while helping you do your job better, 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.

Easier to stay safe
a safer place to be.
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.

Easier to store more
We're giving you space, And then some.
You asked. We answered. Carry more gear, more equipment - be ready for any call. The PUC features 26" deep compartments and up to 500 cubic feet of storage space with covered raceways, recessed shelf tracks and bright strip lighting that reduces shelving shadows and gives excellent night-time visibility.
The PUC also features optional 500 lb 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 and turnout gear or whatever you decide to store.

A Tremendous Body of Work.
The PUC body incorporates space-enhancing 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. 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
ITS 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.
