A local fire department needed a custom truck organizer with extreme durability and a very specific layout for efficient access to emergency equipment.  A fireman in the department had a specific idea and vision of what would work, but there was nothing available on the market to fill the need! Foreman worked closely with the department to come up with a design that would integrate into the available space in the fire engine and still have the capacity to hold the equipment specified.  The end result was a welded Treadbrite box that fulfilled the requirements, and looked great.  The department was so pleased, they ordered a second one shortly after the first one was installed.
