Watch the Gradall Strategic Emergency Response Vehicle "SERV" in Action.

Improve Firefighter Safety.
Attack Fires More Effectively.

These are the real-life benefits of the revolutionary Strategic Emergency Response Vehicle models by Gradall.

SERV models by Gradall — the industry's premiere Strategic Emergency Response Vehicles — enable firefighters to reach out to break through roofs and walls, and then drown the sources of dangerous fires. SERV models integrate a strong, telescoping Gradall® boom with a fire cab and chassis to effectively fight fires in dangerous locations where firefighters often get hurt or killed, or where they can't possibly access.

Reach out with the famous Gradall boom

Eliminating the dangerous task of firefighters having to physically vent roofs or side walls, the massive Gradall SERV boom safely reaches right into the heart of man’s worst and oldest enemy… fire. Telescoping out to a length of over 47 feet, and without hindrance from overhead obstructions, the SERV boom can swing either left or right, and it can rotate 110 degrees in either direction to effectively position the 5th Man piercing nozzle for attack.

The Gradall boom is an integral component of the new Gradall SERV firefighting apparatus. Delivering the benefits of a half-century of hydraulic technology leadership, the Gradall SERV boom continues the tradition of all Gradall booms, known globally for their exceptional strength, durability and versatility in metal mill furnace maintenance and road and bridge demolition and construction.

Gradall SERV and 5th Man break tradition

The exciting new 5th Man piercing nozzle boom end attachment draws its muscle from rugged Gradall hydraulic boom forces and stability. From a safer position, firefighters can thrust a 5th Man stainless steel piercing head through windows, walls, roofs – even concrete structures. When mounted on a firefighting vehicle, this new venting solution eliminates the need for firefighters with axes to stand on burning rooftops. After piercing the structure, the 5th Man head has 52 aqua-jet nozzles that direct a massive broken stream curtain of water into the heart of the fire.

Wireless remote keeps firefighters out of harm’s way

Using a wireless remote control device, firefighters using with the Gradall SERV apparatus can strategically attack blazes from a distance of over 200 feet… in locations previously thought to be too dangerous or out of reach. After the Strong Arm Firefighting Vehicle is moved into position, a firefighter uses an easy-to-understand system of switches and joystick controls on the belt-held remote device.

With precision, the firefighter can telescope and tilt the Strong Arm boom into the correct position to demolish walls and ceilings, and then launch and direct the flow of water. For chemical tank fires, the Strong Arm boom can position the 5th Man directly over the fire to direct a massive release of foam.


Stabilizers… firm footing for vigorous firefighting

Rugged Gradall Strategic Emergency Response Vehicles models are equipped with a system of four stabilizers for strength and stability, creating a solid stance for vigorous firefighting. With the wireless remote control device, stabilizers telescope out and then down onto pavement or uneven terrain. Stabilizers can be positioned independently or all at the same time, providing short-jacking capability in close quarters.
