Fire Apparatus
FOR ALL YOU EMERGENCY APPARATUS, AMBULANCE AND COMMAND VEHICLES SERVICE AND REPAIR NEEDS.
Marion Body Works is an independent, family owned and operated manufacturer located in Marion, Wisconsin, where the company was founded in 1905 and has been in continuous operation ever since. The present ownership and management dates from 1980. Operations occupy 123,000 square feet on a 61 acre site, where all buildings and machinery are owned. Employment is about 150 and our annual sales are in the $20 million range. Our business has evolved from building custom carriages for Central Wisconsin friends to building commercial truck bodies, rescue and fire apparatus, truck cabs, and specialized military/government products for accounts throughout the United States. Marion's niche is building cost competitive, engineered truck bodies that stand up through the rigors of over-the-road duty. Our specialty is building in all-aluminum; we have more experience building all-aluminum bodies (since 1964) for emergency vehicles than any other U.S. manufacturer.
Like our line of Rescue Vehicles, Marion Commercial and Custom Pumpers feature all aluminum body construction for a lighter body weight, extra payload, and no rust. Building an all aluminum body lowers the truck's center of gravity for improved maneuverability, making the truck safer. Our line of pumpers also features flush, snag-free doors, high temperature wiring, reversible lip or no-lip shelves, catwalk overlays, a removable rear step, and many other features that set Marion apart.
