Model 2 Rescue & Utility Apparatus
Built to carry the response.
The Ridgehound Model 2 brings secure equipment storage, purposeful organization, and multi-role capability together in a fully enclosed rescue and utility apparatus.
Its aluminum body and roll-up compartment doors protect critical gear while giving crews ready access to the equipment they rely on. Configure the Model 2 around your department’s mission, equipment, terrain, and response priorities—from rescue and medical response to wildland support, incident operations, and specialized field work.
FULLY ENCLOSED. PURPOSE-BUILT. READY TO WORK.
The Model 2 gives your crew a durable, weather-protected space for the tools and equipment the response demands. Its configurable compartments help keep medical supplies, rescue systems, saws, communications gear, and support equipment organized, secure, and accessible.
From the body layout to the equipment carried, each unit is planned around how your department works in the field.
One Platform. Configured for Your Mission.
Build the Model 2 for the role your department needs it to fill. Configure it for technical rescue, medical response, rural service, wildland and interface operations, disaster response, utility support, incident support, or specialized deployment.
Compartment layouts, equipment storage, electrical systems, lighting, mobility and recovery equipment, and available pump and water systems can be selected to support your operational priorities.
ORGANIZED EQUIPMENT ACCESS
Storage works best when crews can find and deploy equipment quickly. The Model 2 can be configured for medical bags, rope-rescue systems, hydraulic and battery-powered tools, cribbing, stabilization equipment, saws, hand tools, portable pumps, wildland gear, traffic-control equipment, communications equipment, and other mission-specific supplies.
Each compartment layout is developed around the equipment you carry and how your crew needs to reach it.
BUILT FOR FIELD OPERATIONS
A capable response vehicle needs to support the crew beyond the station and roadside. The Model 2 combines enclosed equipment storage with available mobility, recovery, and work-lighting options for demanding assignments and extended field operations.
Configure it to support remote access, technical rescue, medical response, wildfire incidents, disaster operations, and the work your department is called to perform.
ELECTRICAL, LIGHTING & COMMAND
Integrated electrical, warning, and lighting systems can be selected around the vehicle’s role and your department’s requirements. Available options include multiplex controls, warning systems, scene and work lighting, communications provisions, battery-management components, and equipment power.
The result is a well-coordinated workspace for operating around the apparatus and managing work at the scene.
RESCUE, UTILITY & FIRE-SERVICE CAPABILITY
Configure the Model 2 as a rescue and utility apparatus, or add systems to support a broader fire-service role. Available options include enclosed pump configurations, portable pumping, water storage, hose and reel systems, foam capability, and equipment-mounting solutions.
Each system is selected to fit the apparatus and the response capability your crew needs.
DESIGNED WITH YOU. VISUALIZED BEFORE IT IS BUILT.
Every Model 2 starts with a clear understanding of the mission: what equipment the crew carries, how it needs to be accessed, where the unit operates, and what it must accomplish on scene.
Ridgehound develops the apparatus through engineering, specifications, layouts, drawings, customer review, and 3D visualization. Your team can review equipment placement and refine key details before production begins.
