Cab & Chassis
It all starts with a chassis
Spartan custom chassis begin with a strong foundation, using custom production methods and materials that build the most highly engineered frame in the industry. And while our chassis can handle heavy-duty applications, they can also maneuver swiftly, with one of the tightest turn radius on the market. Our cabs are built to keep the crews comfortable and safe with high rooflines, flat floors, Advanced Climate Control systems, and the industry’s #1 advanced safety system.

Spartan Advanced Protection System - Standard on Every Chassis
If the crew doesn’t arrive on the scene safely, even more lives hang in the balance. At Spartan, we face reality head on with cabs that feature the most advanced safety provisions available in the market today.
The Spartan Advanced Protection System® (APS) is the #1 safety system in the industry. Designed and purpose-built for firefighters, it combines forward-thinking apparatus safety, developed around the needs of the first responder. This market-leading system includes: ▪ Eight airbag positions, the most offered by any manufacturer — including knee airbags and the only side impact curtain airbags in the industry — which give your apparatus the highest available impact and anti-ejection protection available. ▪Innovative seat belt systems and outboard sensors that enable an intelligent restraint control, dramatically reducing restraint system injuries. |
▪ Ergonomic driver controls that help ensure safe and easy operation of the vehicle.
▪ Higher rooflines, added hip room and a cab-forward engine tunnel that provide more space and comfort for the driver, officer, and crew. ▪ Optional 360 camera to improve sightlines all around the apparatus. ▪Third-partytestingtoensurecabsafety from every perspective. We test for roof crush, front impact, roll stability control, airbags, seat mounting and seat belt restraint system validation. |
Spartan Advanced Climate Control System
Spartan’s well-designed cabs also offer the industry’s best HVAC system—creating a safer and more comfortable environment for firefighters working in any kind of climate.
Enduring over 20,000 miles of performance and durability testing, Spartan’s Advanced Climate Control System exceeds standard performance requirements and maintains a comfortable cab, no matter the condition. It’s innovative design helps cool and heat the cab interior aggressively while distributing air volume evenly to all occupants. It also quickly and effectively evacuates condensation, defrosts/defogs and clears flash fogging. All to keep firefighters comfortable and safe to and from every response. Spartan’s Advanced Climate Control System reduces interior cabin air temperature from 122 ̊ F (+/- 3 ̊ F) to 80 ̊ F in 30 minutes Air velocity has been improved an average of 232 percent which distributes AC or heat throughout the cab and to all occupants more evenly and quickly than traditional roof-mounted HVAC systems. In testing, with AC on MAX for 1 hour with the doors open at 90 ̊F and 95 percent relative humidity, all condensate generated by the system had been drained outside of the vehicle. |
With the cabin air temp at 0 ̊F, the foot area average air temperature reaches 80 ̊F within 30 minutes.
When in defog mode, the system clears the windshield and the front side glass of any flash fogging in 30 seconds or less. The normal defrost mode pushes air to the windshield and side glass and defrosts in a matter of minutes, even in a fully frosted condition. |
Spartan Clean Cab Initiative
Simply put, your people are covered with potentially carcinogenic substances after fighting a fire. Cleaning gear and placing it outside the cab is both logical and life-saving. And it’s the simple foundation of our Clean Cab. With this revolutionary cab design all tools and contaminated equipment can be stored outside the cab interior.
Advanced Filtration System Spartan’s Advanced Filtration System (AFS) features a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which can trap or filter out almost 100% (99.97%) of toxic particles and contaminants that are airborne in the cab. The filter can be placed in several areas within the cab to not impede cab space. This filtration system is also certified to filter out Covid-19. Easy-clean interior Our easy-to-clean liner covers the interior surfaces with a seamless material impervious to gases and liquids. Contaminants brought into the cab from boots or shed from PPE can easily be cleaned once the apparatus is back in the station. Gaps in materials where contaminants could hide are eliminated. Easy-clean seating Spartan partnered with H.O. Bostrom to provide minimally seamed, zip-off seat covers with a foam block encapsulated barrier that reduces gas and liquid absorption. The seat covers are removeable and replaceable for deeper cleaning to remove any toxins that transfer from firefighters or their gear. |
Optional SCBA containment
Spartan’s Clean Cab includes options for outside compartments to store the SCBA tanks and packs that is easily accessed but still shielded from the cab interior. Compartment racking systems can be customized to meet specific department needs through your OEM or dealer.
