REV: 04-29-25 LF <br />BODY COMPARTMENT ACCESS PANELS <br />Removable panels shall be provided in the apparatus body, where needed, to access shut off <br />valves and connection points within the hydraulic system. <br />COMPARTMENT TOP <br />The top of the compartments shall be an integral portion of the body. No overlay material shall be <br />visible from the interior of the compartments. <br />COMPARTMENT FLOORS <br />The body compartments shall be enclosed with aluminum sheet metal as specified above. The <br />compartment floors shall have a 1.00 inch (25.40 mm) lip downward at the door opening side of <br />the compartment. This lip shall integrate with a structural member on the bottom edge and form <br />a “sweep-out” compartment. This design shall also allow for a structural flush fitting door frame <br />and a complete door/weather seal or a roll up type door as specified. <br />COMPARTMENT LOAD CAPACITY <br />Each compartment shall have a minimum of one additional structural compartment floor support <br />centered on the underside of the compartment floor. This additional member shall be integral with <br />the body. Each compartment must be designed to carry a working load of: <br />Full depth side compartment: 1,000 lbs (453.59 kg) per compartment <br />Half depth side compartment: 750 lbs (340.19 kg) per compartment <br />NOTE: These values are for design purposes only for individual compartment construction <br />and are not meant to be used as an actual overall weight rating for equipment load per <br />compartment for the specified apparatus. The apparatus shall be engineered such that the <br />completed unit, when loaded to its estimated in-service weight, shall comply with the gross <br />axle weight ratings {GAWR}, the overall gross vehicle weight rating {GVWR}, and the <br />chassis manufacturer's load balance guidelines per NFPA. <br />FASTENERS <br />All bolts and nuts used in the finish construction of the apparatus shall be stainless steel. Any bolt <br />extending into a compartment or into the hose bed area shall have an acorn nut attached or be <br />protected in such manner where sharp edges are avoided. <br />PAINT SPECIFICATIONS <br />All bright metal fittings, if unavailable in stainless steel, shall be heavily chrome plated. <br />Critical body and sub-frame area which cannot be primed after assembly shall be pre-painted. <br />All welded metal surfaces shall be ground to a smooth surface prior to a degreasing and high <br />pressure, high temperature phosphatizing process. The entire surface shall be sprayed with a <br />non-chromate sealing compound to prevent formulation of stains or flash rust on previously <br />phosphatized parts. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.089/Fire Apparatus Solutions (Purchase of Spartan-LTC 105' TDA) (Page 87 of 150)
