NEW ORLEANS, August 13th, 2004—Spartan Chassis, a subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAR), is presenting the new Diamond chassis and the Super Low Advantage 4x4 chassis at the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) “Conference for Leaders” (Booth #3926) today in New Orleans. The IAFC show runs from August 12th – 15th.
“The Diamond chassis offers the trademark features of a Spartan; exceptional maneuverability, durability and reliability coupled with the most spacious cab in the industry,” said Richard Schalter, president of Spartan Chassis. “The Diamond provides great visibility, additional storage capacity and extra interior room for all crewmembers.”
The Super Low Advantage 4x4 is designed to offer a low center of gravity to optimize stability and vehicle handling. The high-traction, all-road rescue vehicle is at home in the roughest terrain and maneuvers through rugged back roads with ease. The lowered steps offer rescue workers an easy entry and a comfortable egress into and out of the cab.
The Spartan Diamond is a mid-range custom chassis. It provides fire departments with a wide variety of cab styles, seating arrangements, mirrors, trim and engines with up to 400 horsepower. The Diamond offers exceptional flexibility and customization at a competitive price point.
The Diamond is loaded with all of the excellent features available on the top-of-the-line Spartan Gladiator and is powered by a lower range of engine options. Space and safety, Spartan’s hallmark qualities, are two unique features that characterize this cab.
In addition to the ergonomically designed cab interior, the multi-faceted Diamond chassis also includes these premium features:
