Lightweight Design, Higher Payload

 

The lightweight aluminum body reduces overall apparatus weight while maintaining structural integrity. This allows departments to carry more tools, more equipment, and greater operational capability while staying within axle ratings and GVWR limits.

Faster Delivery, Proven Platform

 

The K-180 is engineered for accelerated production timelines, enabling departments to receive a fully capable aerial faster than traditional custom builds—without sacrificing quality or performance.

KME Reliability, Long-Term Support

 

Backed by KME engineering and service, the K-180 delivers long-term reliability, simplified maintenance, and nationwide support, ensuring confidence throughout the life of the apparatus.

Chassis Matched to Mission

 

The K-180 platform pairs the aerial device with the right KME chassis for the job. The Panther and Predator chassis offer excellent maneuverability and provide the structural capacity and stability required for increased reach and operational demand.
