Ferrara’s 85’ rear mount platforms are designed and engineered for firefighter safety, as well as operations under extreme environments. Our standard 85’ rear mount platform models meet all the requirements of NFPA.
Ferrara’s 85’ rear mount platforms are equipped with a Load Minder system. This system allows the operator to monitor the platform tip load with a LED bar graph display, located at the turntable position.
The engineered strength of the aerial allows us to offer a 500 pound tip load, while flowing 1,500 GPM of water, at any angle or elevation. Not flowing water our tip load is 1,000 pounds.
With an operational range of –8 degrees to +72 degrees, the 85’ platform maintains a horizontal reach of 81’ at zero degrees elevation and reaches a full vertical height of 85’ at 72 degrees.
All aerials receive independent third party non-destructive testing, which include third party flow and structural inspection.
For Quint configurations multiple pump options are available from all of the major manufacturers ranging in capacities from 1,250 GPM to 2,250 GPM.
Water tanks from 200 to 300 gallons feature lifetime warranties and can be custom designed to meet your capacity requirements.
