1984 Ford F-350 Brush Truck with slide in skid unit
Based on a Ford F-350, this unit had a single wheel rear axle with a pump and tank skid unit built by the FMC company. Due to the weight of the skid unit it was the decision of the officers that the top speed was no more than 45 MPH otherwise the truck wandered all over the road. The skid unit had a single reel with forestry line, a 200 gallon tank, and gasoline powered pump. Upon delivery of a new brush unit, the skid unit was sold to the Lambertville FD and placed in their utility truck. This truck was turned over to the Township for use as a service vehicle for the Township Department of Public Works and is still in use today.
