TANKERS
TANKERS
Tankers are a critical part of any full-service fire-rescue fleet. Spartan ERV’s extensive knowledge and experience of
the fire industry and in-field demands has resulted in durably designed Tankers that deliver higher quality and better
performance.
At Spartan ERV, we build a full line of Tankers through the Star and Classic Series that can handle from 1,500 to up to
4,000 gallons of water and offer a category-leading combination of exclusive features and technologies, along with the
most innovative components available today.
EXPECT MORE THAN A TYPICAL TANKER
We don’t just build tankers, we build tanks. Spartan ERV is one of the few
apparatus manufacturers that designs and builds its own polypropylene,
also known as poly water tanks. Custom constructing our own poly water
tanks enhances the quality, performance, and affordability of each Classic
Series apparatus.
Spartan’s water tank design
utilizes interlocking ¾” polypropylene sheets, reinforced with
a weld bead for a more structurally sound fit. We custom
construct tanks in a wide variety of sizes and types, in
either standard rescue style, “T” style, or a wetside tank
configuration for custom integration with the rest of the
apparatus and chassis.

In today’s industry, a tanker is more often considered a pumper that carries big water; it
becomes even more multi-purpose when you add the versatility of the BoomerTM.

The Boomer is a one-of-a-kind fire-rescue device that redefines
versatility by combining five emergency-rescue functions into a single,
compact device.

FEATURES
rapid cafs
one-touch rapid cafs
The Rapid CAFS standard system allows firefighters more
The One-Touch RAPID CAFS is easy to use and requires
control of the CAFS final wet or dry product through the
use of a simple CAFS toggle switch. State-of-the-art
electronics are built into the standard system, just as in
the One-Touch RAPID CAFS, to allow you to focus on the
scene more and your manual calculations less.
only one additional step in the pump-engage process. It
simplifies the regulation of wet or dry CAFS, a firefighting
need that is otherwise manual, difficult and time consuming
without the Spartan CAFS. The simplicity and reliability it
provides compliments the flow of water by enabling the
electrical system to automatically actuate the injection
of foam and air using state-of-the-art electronics and
exclusive plumbing design/engineering.
3 simple steps to flow cafs
After pump is engaged and flowing water:
1. Engage air compressor
2. Open water valve with wet/dry CAFS switch
(this will automatically engage foam system)
3. Bring throttle to approximately 100 PSI
1 easy step to flow cafs
After pump is engaged and flowing water:
1. Press One-Touch button to engage CAFS
(this will automatically engage foam system and inject
(or normal pumping pressure)
* Adjust wet/dry CAFS with electronic switch technology
air into appropriate discharge)
* Adjust wet/dry CAFS by gating the water valve and
maintaining pressure
auxiliary power unit (APU)
The auxiliary power unit technology features the ability to automatically shut down the main engine, while allowing the
APU to startup routinely. With the ability to be retrofitted to both new and existing engines and chassis, a Spartan ERV
APU has low maintenance costs. Replacement belts for the APU are available at nearly all automotive stores
nationally. There are three options available: 12 volt system, 8kW unit, and a 16kW unit.
