About the International Fire Truck

Before You Install

Good to Know
Hardware is not stated.
Volunteer departments often refurbish older apparatus, and new belts are part of that work.
Bright red or orange webbing helps belts stand out during a night call.
Order a belt for each seat that needs the 20 inch cable.
Tug each belt during weekly apparatus checks to confirm it locks.
A 20 inch cable lets the buckle stand up from a high seat cushion or an air-ride base so crew members can find it by feel.
Pumper apparatus built on 1996-2002 International chassis often have seats with SCBA brackets, and the longer cable can help the buckle clear the bracket.
Volunteer departments with older International apparatus often replace belts as part of grant-funded upgrades.
Bright orange or red webbing helps the 20 inch cable belt stand out in a dark cab.
Smoke residue and diesel exhaust stiffen fire truck webbing, so belts age faster than in a passenger vehicle.
Departments ordering belts for several seats should note which seats need the 20 inch cable and which the 13 inch.
A 20 inch belt on a low seat can let the buckle flop around, so measure before ordering.
Apparatus in reserve service may have belts that look fine but have aged from heat in the station.
Firefighters wearing gloves need a buckle they can latch quickly, and the end release design helps.
Refurbishment of an older International apparatus is a good time to replace every belt in the cab.
Tug each 20 inch cable belt during weekly checks to confirm the reel locks.
Tall crew members in a pumper often prefer the longer reach of a 20 inch stalk because they sit higher on a thick cushion.
Station heat during summer can bake webbing in a parked apparatus, so even a lightly used belt may need replacing.
Rescue and brush trucks built on the same chassis may also need the longer stalk, depending on seats.
