Aerial
- Five (5) section heavy duty ladder
- 85’ vertical reach at only 72 degree elevation
- 81’ horizontal reach at 0 degrees elevation
- The HD-85 can be rated at either 1000 pounds flowing 1000 GPM or 500 pounds flowing 1500 GPM. Dry tip load is 1000 pounds in either case.
- Each aerial is manufactured in accordance with NFPA 1901.
- A professional third party testing company performs a flow test and structural inspection on all aerials, assuring an NFPA mandated 2:1 Safety Factor
- Egress handrails stay in contact with both the aerial fly section and platform, allowing easy entrance into the platform, even when climbing at the maximum 72 degree angle.
- All Ferrara platforms use a mil-spec internal corrosion coating on all structural members that are internally exposed to the atmosphere. This coating constitutes a 20-year internal corrosion warranty for the platforms aerial structure.
- All platform waterways are hot-dipped galvanized, polished and then chrome plated on the exterior for superior strength and durability. The waterway carries a 10-year warranty that includes the seals.
- All Ferrara aerials feature a cab to body collision interlock, preventing the aerial or platform from being lowered into the cab or body by the operator.
Platform
- Generous 20 square foot interior work area allows for up to four firefighters to move easily around the platform.
- Platform leveling system always levels to earth, which reduces additional hydraulic lines needed for master/slave type systems that level to the chassis. This system works off a gyro, which means the platform remains level regardless if the apparatus is positioned on a severe grade.
- Bi-fold, outward opening doors allow clear, 23.5” unobstructed entrance into and out of the platform
- The platform basket is designed in four (4) modular sections, so if it is damaged, replacement is less costly.
- Single or Dual monitors available, either Elkhart, Akron or TFT
- Our most popular platform options include a 500 pound capacity rappelling arm/stokes basket mount and a parapet ladder bracket.
