When maximum maneuverability is crucial.

Multiplexed tractor drawn aerial with increased tip loads, less weight & improved set-up capabilities.

Overview

Our Ascendant Class of Aerials also includes a tractor drawn aerial configuration. The Ascendant 107' Heavy-Duty Tiller Aerial Ladder offers numerous advantages and performance enhancements – resulting in longer reach both vertically and horizontally, higher tip loads and higher flow ratings. You’ll still have all of the same performance characteristics of the Ascendant Heavy-Duty Ladder that you’re accustomed to – 107' vertical reach, 100' horizontal reach, 750 lb tip load, 1,500 gpm flow without compromising on water capacity, performance or safety.
 
We’ve improved your set-up capabilities by increasing the allowable jack-knife angle to 60-degrees. We’ve also reduced the overall vehicle weight of this configuration by 4,000 lb – giving fire departments more flexibility with their configurations – whether it be lighter axle ratings, increased water capacity or more storage options. 

When maximum maneuverability is crucial, the Ascendant 107' Heavy-Duty Tiller Aerial Ladder excels at getting you to the scene quicker. TAK-4 Independent Suspension comes standard on both the front tractor axle and the rear trailer axle for a smoother ride, better handling and impressive cramp angle.
