Seagrave – other models: American fire apparatus from Clintonville, Wisconsin, from the aerial ladder to the pumper, 6 to 8 cylinders, 16 to 24.7 tonnes gross vehicle weight
Seagrave is one of the oldest fire apparatus manufacturers in the United States; the company was founded in 1881 and today builds its vehicles in Clintonville, Wisconsin. This collective page lists models outside the named ranges, including pumpers and an aerial ladder; type designations such as HT-070C or TB50DA follow the manufacturer's own model system for different body and drivetrain variants.

The register lists four variants here with 9,439 to 13,000 cm³ displacement from six- to eight-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 8,840 to 18,355 kg, gross vehicle weights from 15,976 to 24,675 kg, lengths from 8,460 to 11,000 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,500 mm.
Seagrave mainly supplies North American career fire departments with custom-built chassis and bodies, competing with manufacturers such as Pierce, E-One and Rosenbauer; the wide spread in weight and displacement reflects the mix of pumpers and the considerably heavier aerial ladder, which carries its own turntable, outriggers and extendable sections.
When buying a used fire apparatus of this type, the operating hours of the pump or the ladder, the condition of the body's hydraulics and electrics, and corrosion on the chassis and access points matter most; parts for North American fire apparatus are only available in Europe through specialised importers, and documentation of the original service history carries particular weight for this kind of vehicle.

What to check before buying
