Features
100' Medium Duty Rear Mount Aerial Ladder
• Four (4) section, telescoping steel ladder constructed of high strength steel, certified to 70,000 psi
• Aerial device mounted over the rear axle, on a torque box sub-weldment w/rear stabilizers and with the ability to short-jack
• Bolt-on egress with full 250 lb. rating
Ladder Assembly
• Ladder sections are trussed vertically and diagonally with round steel tubing
• Environmentally sealed ladder sections to protect against corrosion
• All ladder rungs are round and welded to each section in two places with k-bracing for rigidity
• Ladder sections are designed with adequate hand spacing and room for vertically mounted cable tracking, resulting in unobstructed egress on ladder
• Fold down steps standard at tip
• Rungs are sheathed with an aggressive composite luminescent rung covers to increase visibility during egress and do not need electrical connections or amp draw
• Extension and retraction motion by dual hydraulic powered cylinders and cable pulley system
• Rotation motion through a 46.00" swing bearing/spur gear, driven by one (1) planetary hydraulic motor
• Elevation motion through (2) double acting, lift cylinders (5 deg below horizontal to 80 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
• 72.00" long x 80.00" wide turntable is constructed of a steel support framework covered with Morton Cass aluminum surface, with an aluminum treadplate perimeter
• Access to the turntable is from rear body stair wells, one on each side of the truck
• Stairs are lit by two 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
• Aerial controls are direct hydraulic, fully proportionate
• 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 38 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
Control Stations:
• Lower control station, at rear in ladder storage compartment, centrally located
• Turntable control station
• Additional aerial controls available at aerial tip and pump panel
Aerial Waterway
• Water swivel 4.00 inch capable of 360 degree rotation
• Telescoping anodized aluminum waterway capable of 1000 gpm
• 4.50" dia. base waterway pipe
• 4.00" swivel capable of operating between -5 degrees and up to 80 degrees
• A 250 psi pressure relief valve located below the torque box
• Aerial monitor (electric), capable of 1000 gpm, Akron self-stowing monitor (standard)
• 5.00" rear inlet to the aerial waterway
Communication System
• Atkinson communication system between the aerial tip and the turntable console, with optional 3rd station at pump panel
• Master control at the turntable with push button talk and volume control
• Self contained "hand-off' speaker/mic at the basket
• Electrical System
• Electrical swivel capable of 360 degrees with 28 collector rings, each capable of 20 amps
• Four (4) 12V unity lights standard, two at tip, two at base
• 110V electrical system, one (1) 20 amp NEMA L5-20, 3-prong water proof receptacle (optional)
Pump and Pumphouse
• A midship pumphouse, centered in the frame, ahead of body
• Removable pump panels provide access to the pump for maintenance.
• Valves-Akron standard (Elkhart optional)
• Pump pressure governor standard (option for a discharge relief valve or TPM)
Aerial Body
• Compartmentation fabricated from .125" 5052 aluminum, Galvaneal steel, or stainless steel
• 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 steel 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
• Galvaneal steel, stainless steel, high-strength aluminum
• 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 |
