Pierce Ascendant Heavy Duty Ladder

“The optimized design of the Ascendant ladder integrated onto a tandem axle chassis results in a significantly lighter vehicle. We can provide you with a rear axle rating of only 44,000 lbs. The result is lower cost of ownership with less brake and tire wear, shorter stopping distances, and better performance from your drivetrain.”
