75' Aluminum Ladder

Features
75' Aluminum Aerial Ladder
• Three (3) section, telescoping aluminum constructed of high strength 6061-T6 aluminum extrusions
• Aerial device mounted over the rear axle, on a torque box sub-weldment w/rear stabilizers with the ability to short-jack
• Bolt-on egress with full 750 lb. rating

Ladder Assembly
• Ladder sections are trussed vertically and diagonally with 6061-T6 aluminum extrusions
• Ladder sections are designed with adequate hand spacing and room for vertically mounted cable tracking, resulting in unobstructed egress on ladder
• Rungs are extruded and feature aggressive grooves incorporated into the aluminum material to increase traction during egress
• Extension and retraction motion by a dual hydraulic powered cylinders and cable pulley system.
• Rotation motion through a 39.41" swing bearing/spur gear, driven by one planetary hydraulic motor.
• Elevation motion through double acting, lift cylinders (8 deg below horizontal to 76 deg above)
• All cylinders designed with integral holding valve cartridges in the event of a hydraulic line failure
• Rotational brake applies when pressure control is released.

Turntable Deck
• 56.00" wide x 49.00" long turntable is constructed of with a steel support framework covered with Morton Cass aluminum surface, with an aluminum treadplate perimeter
• Access to the turntable is from rear side of the body
• Stairs are lighted by lights activated by the aerial master switch
• Includes control console and space for hydraulic and electrical components

Aerial Device Power
• One turntable control station located on driver side
• Additional aerial controls available at aerial tip and pump panel
• Aerial controls are electronic over hydraulic, fully multiplexed and proportionate
• All aerial device controls have fail-safe manual hydraulic overrides.
• Hydraulic load sensing piston pump, capable of multiple-function operation without speed loss.
• High pressure hydraulic manifold block, with test ports
• Pressure and relief filtration system
• Hydraulic reservoir of 40 gallons
• Relief valve set at 3150 psi to protect hydraulic system components
• 12V emergency power unit (EPU) with 30-minute run time, capable of stowing the ladder in the event of a power loss
• High idle is controlled by the microprocessor to automatically adjust engine rpm to load condition

Control Stations
• Lower control station, at rear in ladder storage compartment, centrally located
• Turntable control station

Aerial Waterway
• Water swivel 4-inch capable of 360 degree rotation
• Telescoping anodized aluminum waterway capable of 1500 gpm
• 4.50" dia. base waterway pipe
• 4.50" swivel capable of operating between -8 degrees and up to 76 degrees
• A 250 psi pressure relief valve located below the torque box
• Aerial monitor (electric), capable of 1500 gpm, Akron self-stowing monitor (standard)
• Water flow monitored by the aerial microprocessor
• 5.00" rear inlet to the aerial waterway

Electrical System
• Electrical swivel capable of 360 degrees with 36 collector rings, each capable of 20 amps
• 110V electrical system, two 20 amp NEMA L5-20, 3-prong water proof receptacles (optional)
• Four (4) 12V unity lights standard, two at tip, two at base

Pump and Pumphouse
• A midship pumphouse, centered in the frame, ahead of body
• Valves-Akron standard (Elkhart optional)
• Pump pressure governor standard (option for a discharge relief valve or TPM)
• Removable pump panels provide access to the pump for maintenance.

Aerial Body
• Compartmentation fabricated from .125" 5052 aluminum with a tensile strength of 38,000 psi
• Side compartments integral assembly with the rear fender
• Neoprene elastomer isolators will isolate chassis movement from the body structure
• Bodies are formed and welded construction for durable, long lasting design without the unnecessary weight.
• Exclusive Pierce underslung body supports featuring 3-point isolated mount system. This reduces torsional stress and road shock from being transmitted into the body. The underslung design prevents compartment floors from sagging after years of use.
• Aluminum extruded rub rails, bolted on for easy repair
• Interior of all compartments are painted with multispec to hide dirt, abrasions, and protect from oil, gas, and hydraulic spills.
• Automotive-style hinged doors constructed with double pan, double seals, enclosed latches, and .25" hinge pins.
• Roll-up doors w/lifetime warranty (available in satin or painted finish) .
• Handrails are Pierce's exclusive "cross knurled" design to reduce hand slippage.
