Spencer Manufacturing

For the last 37 years, Spencer Manufacturing has been building strong, versatile fire trucks on the shores of Lake Michigan in the beautiful town of South Haven. 

If you have to describe Spencer Manufacturing in two words, – they are "QUALITY" and "HUMILITY!"  They began servicing apparatus in a pole barn, and the reputation rapidly spread for quality, dependability, affordability and "just good people to work with!"

These same attributes met with exactly what Southeastern Specialty Vehicles had been seeking. Family owned, small enough to know the key people, and yet large enough to build the products that our customers have grown to expect from us.

Spencer Manufacturing builds tough apparatus – tough enough for the City of Pittsburgh, PA to purchase multiple units and yet, the
"down home" atmosphere of Spencer builds the same quality, dependability, and affordable products for the smaller fire departments.

Spencer not only builds all aluminum, but brings to the market the "solid-poly" body that allows the design of a low hose bed, 1,000 gallon tank with a 1500 GPM pump in a 32' custom chassis apparatus.  No one in the industry matches this capability and in case you wondered, the "solid-poly" body brings with it a lifetime warranty!

Spencer also builds some of the most advanced off-road apparatus in the marketplace. As evidenced by a super-tuff 2,000 gallon all wheel drive super single built for South Torch Lake, Michigan.

From off-road to 100' aerial platforms, and everything in between, Spencer is a true go to apparatus provider!  No other manufacturer has the ability to provide you with a 75' stick, 1500 GPM waterous pump and 1200 gallons of water, and be under axle weight requirements!
