Sutphen

Custom fire apparatus since 1890 and still family owned: heavy-duty pumpers, tankers and the signature SPH aerial platforms, built in Ohio.

Overview

Sutphen has built custom fire apparatus since 1890 and remains family owned after more than 135 years, one of the longest continuous runs in the industry. The Ohio company builds heavy-duty custom pumpers, tankers and its signature SPH aerial platforms, engineered for demanding conditions and delivered to departments nationwide. Sutphen emphasizes the relationship after the sale as much as the build, with the same team guiding departments from the first conversation through delivery and years of service.
