Aerial Characteristics

• Three (3) section heavy duty ladder
• 85’ vertical reach at only 72 degree elevation
• 81’ horizontal reach
• Each aerial is manufactured in accordance with NFPA pamphlet 1901.
• A professional third party testing company performs a flow test and structural inspection on all aerials.
• 2:1 Structural Safety Factor
• 1.5:1 Safety Factor

Platform Basket

• Platform leveling system uses a gravity level-sensing inclinometer, which reduces additional hydraulic lines needed for master/slave type systems. This system is based on gravity, which means the platform will remain level regardless if the apparatus is positioned on a severe grade.
• Bi-Folding doors allow clear, 24” unobstructed entrance into and out of the platform
• The platform basket is designed in four (4) modular sections, so if the platform is damaged, replacement is less costly.
• Interior work areas of Ferrara’s rear mount platforms are unmatched, giving you over 21 square feet of interior work area.

Aerial

• Egress handrails travel with the aerial fly section to allow entrance into the platform when climbing at vertical angles.
• 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 for superior strength and durability. The waterway carries a 10-year warranty that includes the seals.
• All platforms come standard with an interlock system. This system prevents platform from being lowered into the cab and body by the operator.
