COUNTY OF BURLINGTON - Mt. Holly, New Jersey

From Hackney:
The Burlington County Office of Emergency Management, headquartered in Mount Holly, New Jersey, purchased a Hackney DF0882 Haz Mat vehicle to serve the citizens of Burlington County and surrounding jurisdictions. The 17.5-ft body was specially designed to carry dedicated hazmat response equipment.

The body featured six 40" wide x 82" high x 40" deep compartments (four forward of rear wheels and two aft of rear wheels). The compartment over the rear wheels measured 74" wide x 57" high x 90" deep. The huge cubic foot displacement is made possible by utilization of the Hackney Drop/Pinch frame technology. The entire vehicle was designed to meet all NFPA 1901 requirements.

The chassis of choice was an International 4400, four-door cab with seating for five personnel.

The roof was designed using aggressive aluminum treadplate. Access to the roof is via an OSHA compliant ladder centered on the rear of the body. A full length awning is installed on the street side for staging and logistics operations.

The electrical system is fully multiplexed and includes a large color display control screen on the cab console. Halogen 12-volt scene lights are provided, two on each upper side body and two on the rear. Underbody ground lights further provides a safe night operations zone. All emergency light is Whelen strobe.

A 25,000 watt Onan PTO generator is mounted inside the left front compartment protected from corrosive winter road salts. The generator powers flood lights, outlets, cord reel and refrigerator.

A 185 cfm PTO powered rotary air compressor is installed beneath the cab. It features two 1" air connections for air operated transfer pumps, jack hammers and other high volume tools. It is also regulated to provide utility air to recessed air outlets and 150-ft air hose reel for standard air provisions.

Located on the left front corner of the body is a telescoping pole for installation of a weather station. The station monitor is located on the cab console.

A 10,000 lb. trailer hitch and 7-pin connected is installed on the rear for auxiliary equipment trailer towing.
