OEM Watch: Pierce Manufacturing

Big cabs, lots of glass, extended downtime, and firefighters in heavy gear make fire and rescue a demanding HVAC application and a good opportunity for service and parts sales.

A division of Oshkosh Truck Corp., Pierce has a full line of pumpers, tankers, rescues, aerials, and other emergency vehicles. We’re the standard HVAC system supplier for the Dash, Lance, Quantum, Saber, and Enforcer models. These use the R-2510 front evaporator and R-9715 rear evaporator, R-3500 heater, and R-4500 condenser.
