Dennis – other models: the collective page of the fire and special chassis from Guildford outside the named ranges, Sabre and Towerwagon, 5,800 cm³ displacement and a gross weight of up to 14,500 kg
This page gathers the Dennis vehicles the register could not assign to a named range: the Sabre, the Towerwagon, the F 108 FE and the RS133. Dennis of Guildford has built commercial vehicles since the early 20th century, above all fire engines and refuse trucks; the Sabre is a well-known fire-appliance chassis of the brand, and the Towerwagon is a version with a work platform or aerial-work body. Alongside fire and municipal vehicles, Dennis also built bus chassis such as the Dart and the Trident, widespread with British local-transport operators.

The register lists here 4 versions with 5,800 cm³ displacement from four to eight cylinders. Unladen weights range from 3,490 to 9,370 kg, gross weights from 3,808 to 14,500 kg, lengths from 5,300 to 7,850 mm and widths from 1,970 to 2,450 mm.
Fire and special chassis such as the Sabre and Towerwagon served with British fire brigades and municipal operators, where Dennis, alongside makers such as Scania and Volvo, ranked among the established chassis suppliers for bodybuilders.
On these special vehicles, the condition of the pump, ladder or work platform assessed separately from the chassis, the operating hours of the engine and power take-off, corrosion on the frame and body mounts, and the availability of spare parts count, which for Dennis chassis usually runs through specialist fire-appliance engineering firms.
