Hackney was the first to offer a dropped rear frame assembly that vastly increases the total storage capacity at the rear of the body. One single roll-up door accesses a huge volume of space that accommodates all extrication tools in one zone. The compartment will accommodate portable hydraulic power units, spreader, cutter, rams and all accessories. Plus, two hydraulic hose reels, cord reel and air hose reel. If ground ladders are required, a 24-ft two-section and 14-ft roof ladder can be stored in an upper tunnel for easy accessibility.

The Hackney drop rear frame permits heavy loads to be sustained in the rear extrication compartment.
