Not that I really know all the specs on it, but I'll tell you what I do know.
it's a 2006 Pierce with 4 large banks that fill to 6000 psi via an on board compressor, 6 bottle capacity, carries 50 spare scott bottles and i believe 25 MSAs. seating for 8. - Attachments:

That is a nice unitT.J. what make is it? All I can make out on it is CFS . We have recently been awarded a grant to upgrade our system. Yours is what we are looking for. We currently have an old military diesel compressor with a 5000 psi output which has become worn out and unsafe because the pressure relief valves no longer work properly. It is time to replace it before someone gets hurt while filling the truck.

We are looking at both Bauer (Breathing Air) or Comp-Air (Mako). These seem to be the most prevalent in this area.

We run a Eagle Air Systems - Talon2 compressor with a SafeStation X3p storage system. We can also run a four bottle cascade off of the SafeStation if needed on the side. Our rescue also carries six 6000psi bottles and a frag tank.

We have a hypress system in our station and have had a lot of problems with it.

It's a Bauer.Very nice station.We have one similar but two bottle.We've got a Bauer 13CFM 6000 psi compressor and a twelve bottle cascade set in in three banks of four.We load some mobile cascade units so a healthy storage capacity was required

Oldman,Out of the two,I'd lean toward the Bauer.We had a Mako for our first compressor and as it aged it wasn't pretty.They may have improved so do your homework

we use a bauer in the city but got a grant for one in the county and have chose a mako. hope that wasn't a mistake. we looked at bauer, mako, eagle air and hypress and picked out mako for construction reasons and the salesman being able to work with a state contract. the bauer is nice but have had some issues with a regulator and the hose reel rewind breaking. the biggest thing is service and air testing a must for breathing air.
