Like our line of Rescue Vehicles, Marion Commercial and Custom Pumpers feature all aluminum body construction for a lighter body weight, extra payload, and no rust. Building an all aluminum body lowers the truck's center of gravity for improved manuverability, making the truck safer. Our line of pumpers also features flush, snag-free doors, high temperature wiring, reversible lip or no-lip shelves, catwalk overlays, a removeable rear step, and many other features that set Marion apart.


 

The gold standard for rugged durability

Marion
It's no wonder Marion vehicles are still on duty decades after we build them.  We design them to last.  Marion bodies are fully extruded, not bent and formed sheet metal.  Compartment lighting is located on the door, illuminating all shelves and the outside ground, even if the compartment is packed full.  Marion doors aren't just a sheet of aluminum;  we use extruded frame construction to make them extra strong.



Double Flex Joint Design for Reduced Body Stress

Pump module being built
By building a pump module that is separate from the body, Marion provides two places where the apparatus can flex: between the cab and the pump module, and between the pump module and the body. This design relieves much of the normal body stress on the truck, and reduces any related damage. This separated design also makes accident repair easier and less expensive.

All valves and plumbing components are made from non-corrosive materials - stainless steel, brass and high pressure hose.

With the universal joint, handles all have a straight, consistent pull and positively lock with a quarter turn.


Virtual Progress Reporting


progress picturesWith Marion there are no surprises.  Specs are reviewed in special "Prebuild Meetings".  Any suggested modifications must meet your approval.  Video and digital photo updates keep you continually apprised of your truck's progress from start to finish.  Customization is virtually unlimited.  The result?  You get the truck of your dreams.  A vehicle as individual as your department, that will serve you for years to come.

Marion pumpers have a level of quality and customization that sets them apart from the rest.  No same-old, same-old here.  We've become the benchmark others are compared to.  This is your chance to have a vehicle configured expressly for your department.  A custom fit for your community and the way you work.  Marion pumpers truly do stand alone.

Marion Body Works is an independent, family owned and operated manufacturer.  When you deal with us, you'll find an uncommon dedication to craftsmanship and customer service, and an ability and willingness to go the extra mile where others often won't.
