Here at Palmetto Fire Apparatus we do all that for you. Our goal is to provide the purchaser with the best possible used fire truck possible. If we can do that your Department will see the greatest return possible.

When a used fire truck arrives at our facility it receives a through 172 point inspection. In addition we power wash the engine, under carriage, detail the exterior and interior. We understand both parties needs. Confidence is the key, which is why we try to build that relationship with both the seller and the purchaser.

With a Broker there is no commitment on behalf of the Broker to confirm the overall condition, read there disclaimers. Our 12,000 square foot facility is located just 30 minutes from a major airport. We provide transportation and lodging to the customer.

We have a pump testing facility on site with Emergency Vehicle Technicians on staff to make repairs and answer any mechanical questions for the customer. Have you ever gone to a car lot intending to purchase a truck only to find another one that works better? Having a large inventory of used fire trucks in one location increases the ability to sell your truck.

Once a customer has committed to view a truck at our facility the chances of them purchasing increase dramatically. The more Departments that can physically see your truck the better your chances are to sell.
