KME offers a full line of elliptical tankers ranging from the simple water hauler with no pump, to the fully loaded up tanker with a full pump, preconnects, and hose storage areas.  The elliptical tankers are broken down into two basic product groups including the “LE” series tanker for the budget conscious, and the “LX” series for the full array of “bells and whistles”.

KME’s Elliptical tankers are designed to carry any water capacity, ranging from 1000 gallons up to 4000+ gallons, in the safest means possible.  All tanks and apparatus are designed to exceed NFPA 1901 requirements, keeping the safety of your firefighters as our top priority.  Elliptical tanks utilize baffle designs that ensure safe operations when driving with empty, full, or partial loads, while still providing rapid dumping/filling capabilities.  KME is proud to offer the widest range of options for dumps, compartmentation, and exterior storage, in the industry.
