Pump Panel Simulator: All 24 Apparatus Panel Layouts

Every built-in panel is styled on the pump panels engine companies run — gauge positions, ranges, and valve layouts like the ones your operators pump on shift. The Complete plan includes the custom panel editor.

Custom Panel Editor

If none of the 24 built-in panels match your apparatus, build your own. The panel editor comes with the Complete plan, so operators can train on the panel they actually pump.

Zone-based layout: intake, discharge, pump and secondary zones arranged to match your apparatus
Drag gauges from a palette into any zone: discharge and intake pressure, vacuum, compound, engine and pump RPM, total flow, pump temperature, tank level and more
Add discharge outlets with your own labels, hose size, type (crosslay, side, LDH, deck gun, booster, rear, steamer) and color coding
Add intakes with a label, size and type, including tank-to-pump
Optionally add a photo of your own panel as the background
Name and save it, then set it on an apparatus so trainees pump that panel on the scenarios you link to the truck
Custom panels are private to your department and do not appear for other organizations

Common Questions

Panel layout questions, answered

Which apparatus are included?

24 panel layouts in the styles engine companies run: 8 top-mount, 6 side-mount, 5 compact and rural, and 5 full and specialty panels, among them a rescue pumper and an aerial midship pump. Gauge positions, ranges, and valve layouts are like the ones your operators pump on shift.

Do the panels match real rigs?

They are styled on them. Each built-in panel follows a common real-world layout down to pump position, discharge outlet count, master gauge type, and throttle style, so gauge placement and muscle memory carry over to your apparatus.

Can I build a panel for our specific apparatus?

Yes. The Complete plan includes the custom panel editor, so you can build a layout that matches apparatus not already in the built-in library.
