E-One Fire Trucks for Sale

You can buy a reconditioned, service-ready used E-ONE fire truck without paying new-build prices or waiting years for it. E-ONE, short for Emergency One of Ocala, Florida and a REV Group brand, pioneered the extruded-aluminum fire truck and builds a full line of pumpers, aerials, rescues, and ARFF rigs, and Fire Truck Center sells used E-ONE apparatus that passes a 150-point inspection with third-party NFPA pump tests and aerial certification, backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Used E-ONE pumpers and aerials generally run from around $45,000 for older units to the mid-six figures for newer custom rigs — see the pumpers and aerials in stock now.

What are E-ONE fire trucks known for?

E-ONE fire trucks are known for aluminum. E-ONE, short for Emergency One, was founded in Ocala, Florida in 1974 by Robert Wormser, and it built the first modular, extruded-aluminum fire truck body — a design meant to resist corrosion and shed weight. That aluminum construction is still what sets E-ONE apart, and it’s a real advantage when you’re buying used.

E-ONE grew into one of the largest fire apparatus builders in the country. The things to know:

• Extruded-aluminum construction — bodies and aerials built from aluminum that resists the rust and corrosion that kill steel trucks.
• Aluminum aerials — E-ONE built its first aluminum aerial in 1981 and still builds a full line of aluminum ladders and platforms.
• A full line — custom and commercial pumpers, tankers, aerials, rescues, industrials, and ARFF airport rigs.
• A REV Group brand — E-ONE is part of the REV Group and still builds in Ocala, Florida.

That corrosion-resistant construction and long service life are a big part of why a well-kept used E-ONE is worth buying.

Can you buy a used E-ONE fire truck, and what types come up?

Yes — used E-ONE apparatus comes to market, most often as pumpers and aerials, with rescues showing up too. Fire Truck Center sources, reconditions, and sells them, so you’re not left hunting auction listings and hoping a truck is sound.

Because E-ONE built so many pumpers and aluminum aerials, that’s where most used demand lands. If you need pumping capacity, browse the used pumpers we have in stock. If you’re after reach, our used aerial and quint inventory is where the E-ONE aluminum ladders and platforms land. You can also see every truck we have for sale in one place.

A used E-ONE doesn’t have to be old to be a smart buy. Plenty of pumpers and aerials come out of departments as reserve or second-line trucks — low hours, well maintained, and visually close to new.

What should you know before buying a used E-ONE?

Before buying a used E-ONE, know that the aluminum construction is the headline: E-ONE’s extruded-aluminum bodies and aerials resist corrosion and run lighter than steel, which is a real advantage on a truck that’s already seen service. The work on your end is matching the configuration to your department and confirming the aluminum is sound.

A used E-ONE tends to share a few strengths worth knowing:

• The reliability is in the aluminum. E-ONE pioneered the extruded-aluminum body, which resists the corrosion that ends a steel truck’s life early. A maintained E-ONE has plenty of service life left in it.
• Parts and service stay available. E-ONE is part of the REV Group, one of the largest fire apparatus groups in the country, so parts sourcing and service support run through a deep national network.
• They hold their value. E-ONE is one of the major apparatus brands that holds value well for parts and reliability, so a used E-ONE is a solid buy, still a fraction of new.

On configuration, match the truck to your department:

• Pumper, aerial, or rescue. E-ONE builds all three, plus industrial and ARFF rigs. Match pump capacity, tank size, and aerial reach to your run card.
• Aluminum aerial. E-ONE’s ladders and platforms are aluminum, which keeps weight down; confirm the reach and tip load fit your buildings.
• Custom versus commercial chassis. A custom E-ONE chassis is purpose-built and carries more capability; a commercial-chassis E-ONE is simpler and cheaper to maintain.

Get the truck type, aerial, and chassis right, and a used E-ONE will fit your run card for years.

What should you check when buying a used E-ONE?

On a used E-ONE, check the frame and structure first, then the pump, the aerial certification if it’s an aerial or quint, and the aluminum body welds and mounts — aluminum resists corrosion, but you still verify the welds and hardware rather than assume them. The frame and the pump are what cost the most to get wrong.

Here’s how our founder frames the priority, from years of buying and reconditioning these trucks:

“Structural integrity — making sure the frame is in solid condition with no problems. Checking the motor for leaks and performance, the transmission, and all the other electrical components.”

Work through the truck in this order:

1. Frame and structure. The chassis checked for cracks, corrosion, and repair history. This is the make-or-break check on any used apparatus.
2. Pump. An NFPA pump test — no leaks, holds vacuum, flows its rated GPM (E-ONE pumpers commonly run 1,250 to 2,000 GPM).
3. Aerial certification. If it’s an aluminum aerial or quint, a current third-party aerial test to NFPA standards confirms the ladder is safe to operate.
4. Aluminum body and mounts. The extruded-aluminum body, welds, compartments, and mounting hardware checked for fatigue and prior repairs.
5. Drivetrain and miles. Engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and electrical, with our guideline of roughly 100,000 miles and 10,000 hours as an upper bound.

Every used E-ONE we sell goes through our 150-point inspection and gets its pump test and aerial certification from a third party before it leaves the lot, so you get documented proof on each of these points rather than a promise.

How much does a used E-ONE fire truck cost?

A used E-ONE costs a fraction of a new one, with price driven mostly by apparatus type, age, and chassis. Used pumpers and aerials span a wide range — older units can land near $45,000, while newer custom rigs run into the mid-six figures. For a full breakdown by truck type, see what used fire trucks actually cost.

These are Fire Truck Center’s general used ranges by apparatus type, not E-ONE-specific quotes — every truck is priced individually.

The comparison that matters is used versus new. A new custom E-ONE pumper now runs well into six figures, and a new aerial past a million, with build queues stretching two to four years. A reconditioned E-ONE can be in service in a matter of weeks. You’re saving hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of waiting, on the brand you already wanted.

Financing is available through lenders that specialize in emergency vehicles, so the up-front number doesn’t have to be the whole story for a department on a tight budget.

Why buy your used E-ONE from Fire Truck Center?

Because every truck is reconditioned and put through a 150-point inspection with third-party NFPA pump and aerial certification, then backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and nationwide delivery. That combination is rare in used apparatus, and it’s built to answer the one fear every buyer has: getting a lemon.

With an E-ONE, that inspection includes a close look at the aluminum body and welds, so you know the corrosion-resistant construction that makes these trucks worth buying is actually sound.

The 30-day satisfaction guarantee is the part almost nobody else offers. If the truck isn’t right, you return it within 30 days for a full refund, for any reason. Fire Truck Center pays the return freight, and the truck comes back in the same condition it went out. Thirty days is enough to confirm a used fire truck is mechanically sound.

Delivery is handled the same way — carefully. Aerials and larger units are usually driven to your department rather than hauled, which protects the truck and often saves money. Most buyers come out to our Levittown, PA facility to inspect the truck in person first, then we deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes E-ONE, and where are they built?

E-ONE (Emergency One) is a REV Group brand, and its fire trucks are built in Ocala, Florida. The company was founded in 1974 and pioneered the modular, extruded-aluminum fire truck body. That backing and long history are part of why parts and service support stay strong for older E-ONE trucks.

Is an aluminum fire truck body a problem when it’s used?

No — an aluminum E-ONE body is actually an advantage on a used truck, because extruded aluminum resists the corrosion that shortens the life of steel bodies. The one thing to verify is the welds and mounting hardware, which we check as part of our inspection. A sound aluminum body can outlast the truck’s first owner by years.

How many miles or hours are too many on a used E-ONE?

As a general guideline, we look for used trucks under about 100,000 miles and 10,000 engine hours. Many reserve and second-line E-ONE pumpers come in well under that, because they saw light duty in their first life. Documented maintenance and a clean inspection matter more than the raw numbers.

Does a used E-ONE come NFPA-certified?

A used E-ONE from Fire Truck Center comes with a current third-party pump test and, on an aerial, an aerial certification to NFPA standards. Both tests are performed by an independent testing company, so you have documented proof the pump and aerial are safe to put in service. We won’t deliver an aerial without it.

Can you deliver an E-ONE to our department?

Yes — Fire Truck Center delivers nationwide, and we’ve sent trucks to nearly every state in the lower 48. Aerials and larger units are usually driven to your department rather than shipped on a carrier, which protects the truck and often costs less. Most departments inspect the truck in person at our facility first, then we handle delivery.
