Next up was Sevierville.  Both City and County units operate from the same station.  The station itself is very unusual and I have only seen one other set up like it.  The building is deep enough that the back door (entrance) is on the next street.  There are four bays across the front (exit).  Their KME platform is backed into the rear bay, but far enough where the other apparatus can drive in past it.  Most of them are parked at 45 degree angles along the right side of the building so that any one of them can exit out the front doors without moving any others.

My final stop of the trip was Pigeon Forge.  Only one apparatus remained of those I had photographed years ago.  This one, a former demo, was recently delivered and just entered service.

Is it my imagination or is that a short wheelbase or an extra long overhang.

Which one you talking about? the Sutphen?


It's a 230" WB SPH100. Yes, it has a rear overhang. Do you want the overhang on back, or bucket hanging off front? Angle of departure is not that significantly impacted

Both, actually.  The SPH-100 uses a shorter than typical wheelbase, compared to other Sutphen tower designs.  This gives it a tighter turning radius, allowing it to get into places the older designs could not.  The overhang doesn't seem to cause issues with Departments who have purchased them.  The idea must work well, as Sutphen has sold about 150 of them since 2005.

 

More Sutphens to come.......

Well that's one way to split the red and white, but the question has to be asked why not just have the white start just below the windows ? Less taping off in the paint shop equals some money saved. Just my two pennies.
