umatched manouvrability? um yeah our British aerials are way better. this is basically a british Ladder mounted on an american truck...nothing new about it.
@pyro999maniac . Actually the Boom Package is built in Finland not UK, and range from 32m to 112m. The Telescopic Rescue Ladder is only available up to 55 meters. Check out the Bronto Website. I find it the most versatile, practical & safe Aeriel Appliance in existance, and by far the safest way to bring down casualties from height. The Rescue Cage has a safe working load of 500kg.
I heard Bronto broke a record for the highest Fire Apparatus Aerial Platform. A whopping 367 Feet(112 Meters). It's called the Bronto HLA F112. I'm suprised FDNY hasn't ordered ANY Bronto Skylifts. They could use them in a High-Rise fire.
I ride with 2 depts. one has E-One and the other pierce. E-Ones trucks are very nice. we have had a couple problems with our bronto. The Generator took a dump on us and the boom is picky in which way it wants to go. These are VERY maneuverable if you have an experienced operator in the bucket. We have done some crazy rescues with this truck. Ours was July of 05 or 04 I think on the e One calender. That was staged for the shot but we have done some sweet stuff with it. I love pierce too.
ive heard that mami has a 235 ft peirce bronto skylift talk about instablilityi mean i love peirce but a 235 ft airel sounds a little ify, i perfer a 105' tower ladder
Ok junior members, you know who you are. Find me one documented case where an E-ONE has had a strucural collapse or tip over... That's what I thought... Because there aren't any... NONE.. Call and ask... Grow up girls! And like I am going to take someone serious that says "suck ass" Come on, that is the give away that you are a kid. And no, you are wrong about Sutphen
Poobokbok, sounds like you are a junior member somewhere. E-ONE has a perfect record when it comes to aerials. Not one tip over or structural failure since they have been building them. That includes, 100 midmounts, rear mounts, 75' or any for that matter. Grow up dude. An E-ONE is a premium truck. I can tell by your comments you don't have a clue about fire apparatus or manufacturers.
Again, I am taking someone that uses the phrase "suck ass" with a grain of salt. Again, you couldn't have been in the fire service for more than 6 mos to a year with that attitude. You are at the think you know everything attitude. You are a joke.

Our department has one. It has more problems then I can count. The town council hired a lawyer to see what we're going to down about it.

I surprised more US fire departments don't have Bronto Skylifts (except for, of course, the price tag.)
