Designed for large fleets in extreme duty use conditions, the SSX™ is now available for fire departments coast to coast.

DESIGNED FOR LIFE
Available in multiple lengths and roof options, the cab is designed for use with virtually any engine in any fire application. The rugged interior is designed for everyday use. Both driver and officer have easy access to gauges and controls, and a slim-profile, high-performance HVAC system is just one part of an open cab with lots of storage options.
LONG-TERM VALUE
The KME SSX™ cost of ownership is the lowest in the fire service. Components have been subjected to high-volume use in extreme conditions with more than a million miles of real world testing. KME has taken high-wear areas in the cab and reinforced and overlaid them to make sure they stand up to abuse. Suspension and redundant braking systems provide extended tire and brake life far beyond industry norms.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE IN TIGHT CONDITIONS
Available in 96” and 100” cab widths, the SSX™ offers some of the shortest wheelbases, narrowest widths and lowest heights in the fire service. Using the flat roof option the SSX™ can operate in even the tightest environment.
