Loose & Miscellaneous Fire Equipment for Sale

Not everything a department buys or sells is a truck. This category covers the loose equipment that moves through the same hands as the apparatus: hand tools and appliances, portable pumps, nozzles and hose, skid units, trailers and whatever else a department no longer needs. Much of it arrives the way the trucks do — a department upgrades, a dealer clears inventory, or a rig is traded in and its equipment sold separately.

Buying used equipment is largely a question of paperwork. Check age and condition, and for anything tested, certified or carrying a service life — ladders, hose, SCBA, hydraulic rescue tools — ask for the most recent test or inspection record and check it against the standard that applies to you. Confirm exactly what is included, since a photograph of a set can show pieces that are not part of the sale.

Then settle how it reaches you: small items ship, but a skid unit or a trailer usually means arranging pickup, or a visit to the Union Grove, Alabama campus. Use the search and filters to narrow by price or state, and save a search to hear about new equipment as it is listed — this inventory turns over faster than the trucks do.
