Why choose us?

Our success is the result of the quality and guaranteed satisfaction of our product. We have accomplished this by designing our products out of necessity and on the theory that there is always a better way.

Blanchat Mfg., Inc. offers many features that come from personal participation and experience during on-scene involvement where problems have occurred. Innovations like the [BATROPS] and [Saddle Gate] provide the NFPA recommended six sides of steel protection. In addition, Blanchat builds the only truck approved to ride and pump and roll. At Blanchat, experience continually inspires necessary innovation that creates the most multifunctional, reliable, user-friendly and safe "interface" wildland trucks in the fire fighting field.

We can prove our superiority with a live demonstration by placing our product side by side with the competition.

This alone will demonstrate our equipment's capabilities and not a focus on marketing. The safety, durability, and user-friendliness of our equipment is Blanchat Mfg., Inc.' s top priority.

Greg Blanchat

I have been an active member of the Harper Volunteer Fire Department since 1985. This has greatly enhanced my ability to design and produce user-friendly and functional equipment. The equipment built by Blanchat Mfg., Inc. has been created and designed by firefighters for firefighters. Not only do I build this fire equipment, I use it!

Greg Blanchat, Owner/President

Every fire department has six major problems to consider when in the market for a fire apparatus.

1) Manpower
All Blanchat fire apparatus are designed to operate with two men. In an extreme situation, one man can handle the apparatus alone.

2) Water
All Blanchat trucks are able to pump to full capacity direct from the tank, even up to 1,500 gallons per minute.

3) User-friendliness
We are the leaders in the industry and direct our effort toward our fire apparatus being extremely user-friendly in every conceivable scenario.

4) Function
We are a true interface fire apparatus builder. Our fire apparatus can fight wildland and structural fires and still be in their environment.

5) Safety
Blanchat is the originator of the [BATROPS] transverse crosswalk, [Blanchat Restraint] and [Saddle Gate] giving the firefighter six sides of steel protection. Numerous other safety features are incorporated into the design of all of our fire fighting apparatus.

6) Money
By combining numerous features, Blanchat's trucks are multifunctional fire apparatus. For example, the B-27 Minuteman is a first response, rescue, and wildland truck.
