We are one of the leading experts in firefighting and rescue skids for trucks, UTVs and ATVs

fire and rescue trucks

QTAC quick-attack fire and rescue trucks feature our lightweight, durable PolyTough™ bodies, and only the best components. Our wildland builds feature WATERAX pumps, Whelen or Tomar lighting, and a configuration that will fit the needs of your department or agency.

Truck Skids

QTAC Tsunami truck skids are the most modular truck slip-ins on the market. Completely configurable by tank size, pump, manifold features and storage options, the Tsunami series of skids are designed to be easily mounted and provide you with long-lasting, durable performance.

UTV line

QTAC fire and rescue UTV skids are designed to fit any need you have for quick attack, rapid access deployment in an off-road vehicle. From 20 gallons up to 85 gallons, from patient transport to fire suppression, there is a QTAC UTV skid that will meet your mission requirements.

Polaris GOVERNMENT & Defense

At QTAC, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation, and our partnership with Polaris Government and Defense is a testament to that commitment. Together, we are enhancing the capabilities of first responders and ensuring that they have the best equipment at their disposal.

Modeling underground sanitary sewers, water mains, and drainage pipes with correct slopes and gravity flows. 4. Surveying and Geotechnical Mapping

Every company and government agency has standards.

While not a traditional CAD drafting tool, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are crucial for civil design. Modern CAD workflows integrate GIS data to analyze environmental constraints, zoning laws, and existing property boundaries before drafting begins. Core Applications of Civil CAD civil cad design

Many software packages feature built-in design checks that flag violations of local design standards, such as unsafe road curvature or inadequate pipe slopes. 5. Future Trends Reshaping Civil CAD Design

Civil designers utilize software like AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D to create detailed technical illustrations and maps for critical infrastructure projects. While not a traditional CAD drafting tool, Geographic

If you are looking to enter the field or upgrade your firm’s capabilities, these are the industry standards:

Civil CAD begins with the land. Designers import raw data from GPS, LiDAR, and total stations to create high-precision . This ensures that every subsequent design decision is based on the actual topography of the site. 2. Transportation and Roadway Design If you change a road centerline

While CAD is used for precise design, GIS is used for broad spatial analysis. Modern civil workflows seamlessly integrate platforms like Esri ArcGIS with CAD environments. This allows designers to overlay environmental constraints, zoning laws, and utility data directly onto their design canvas. 4. The Benefits of Civil CAD Design in Modern Engineering

The undisputed industry leader for civil infrastructure design. Built on the AutoCAD platform, it uses a dynamic design model where elements are intelligently linked. If you change a road centerline, the cross-sections, profiles, and earthwork volumes update automatically.

About

Our Story

Evolving from a one-man shop to a 20,000-square-foot facility that employs nearly 50 people, our story is one of American grit and determination. We're not just an assembler - we build our tanks and truck bodies in house, and a full fabrication shop allows us to rapid prototype new products out of either metal or plastic. When you need the comfort of knowing your product was built all under one roof, QTAC has you covered.
