Rapid Deployment Questions
How fast can a Rapid Deployment unit actually deliver?
In weeks. The full equipment package is on our shelves and the bay is reserved, so the build starts as soon as your PO and paperwork clear. The wait we removed is the equipment backorder, which is where most upfit timelines die.
What is included, and what is not?
Included: the vehicle with the full equipment package listed above installed, programmed, inspected, and covered by our lifetime warranty on the upfit. Not included: radios and graphics, because most agencies have their own. We install customer supplied radios and apply your graphics before delivery on request.
Can we see the exact build before buying?
Yes. Download the full spec sheet on this page: every part itemized, pictured, and priced. Bring it to your council meeting and watch the questions run out early.
Can we get a hybrid Rapid Deployment PIU?
Sometimes. Hybrid chassis come and go with allocation, and when we have them, they get listed. Ask us about current status; if a hybrid matters more than speed of delivery, a custom build from in stock chassis is only a few weeks behind.
