@ntfd125 Most of our Aerials (more than 96 % I think) are rear mounts. The average is a 100ft. (also the very few Quints have a 100 ft. ladder). There were some mid mounts in the past, but they weren't really useful. Now our departent has 3 rear mounts (100ft.) at the station

@EnjoyFirefighting We have four main aerial devices. A Tiller which is tractor drawn averages 100-110ft. Quints are smaller usually go 35-50ft. Mid mount Tower ladders and Ladders range from 75-100ft, 100ft has dual rear axels. Then there are also rear mounts which average 100ft.

Love the sequential flashers. The original roto-rays were all red. I think they work better that way. What a crappy place to put a siren: thru the bumper where it can get smashed. How tall is the ladder?

@wikiwai no shit buddy its called a quint or a stick learn your apparatus

@wikiwai how is a ladder truck defined in the US?

in Germany the normal ladder truck is a 32-12: 32 meters high at 12 meters outreach; smaller ones are 18-12 or 12-9, the smallest ones (for really really small streets) are 16-4 (just 50 feet high)

Tower ladder,s TM 50 and TMF 53, got a telescopic mast (up to 50 meters - 164 feet), the biggest one, TM 112, goes up to 112 meters - 370 feet (!) . So here ladder truck could be pretty much anything in size ;)

Why not a mid-mount ladder without the platform? It's more stable due to a lower center of gravity and if it's the model I'm thinking it is it's a 70' stick as opposed to a typical 75' rear mount. And if there is a tower nearby, does it really make sense not to buy a stick from a versatility purpose?

thats not a real ladder truck to small

It looks nice, by why in gods name buy a stick, and on top of that..why only a 6 wheeled chasis?? I mean for the money you should have gotten 10 wheels under it and made it a tower, not a stick..... sometimes you want something so badly that you just buy what you can afford at the moment instead of thinking it through and saving for another year and getting the best..
