Built from the ground up to offer unmatched strength and performance, the spacious cab interior of the Predator provides maximum room for crew members, equipment and storage.

Proven Safety & Strength

At KME, firefighter safety is our primary concern. KME’s Advanced Protection System provides firefighters best-in-class protection against frontal impact, rollover, side impact and occupant ejection to and from the scene. These systems are backed-up by third party testing to ensure cab safety from every perspective.

Engineered for Custom

Custom isn’t just about saying “yes,” it’s knowing that the end result is engineered for reliable and long-lasting performance. With the most options available, our cabs are built to keep crews comfortable and safe while delivering the tightest turn radius on the market.

Safe and Spacious Cab

KME provides the most spacious and ergonomic cabs in the industry with flat floors, low step heights, and taller, wider cab doors. An optimized engine tunnel offers increased leg and hip room for the front seats, while giving more floor space to the rear crew.
