Negative. There were two delivered in April of '85. One went to 14 Truck and the other went to 163 Truck. No more were ever ordered.

A quick side story. The rig that was assigned to 163 eventually went to 14 Truck after 14's was put out of service. One day as they were operating this rig at a job, the rig tipped over on it's side with the tower raised, trapping several fireman beneath it. I remember vividly reading in the NY Post how they said Fireman, cops, and crackheads alike all ran over and literally used brute strength to lift the ladder off of the firemen.

I remember when TL-44 went over at a job I want to say on Morris Ave. But I do not recall 14 going over. If someone could post the whole story that would be great.







Thanks

They were operating on a narrow street in Harlem. Fire building was off on one side, they had tight squeeze and short jacked the side opposite the fire building. It was an occupied structure and there were people at the windows.



Bucket went up and started picking up a bunch of civilians. There were still more people to pick up and the bucket crew knew they didn't have enough time to bring the bucket all the way to the ground and drop off the civilians and then go back up for the other trapped people. In the tight streets of NY, the opposite roof is really very close, so they made the decision to just rotate the tower 180 degrees and drop the civilians off on the roof of the building across the street and then go back for the other victims.



For whatever reason they either didn't know or had forgotten about the short jacking of the outriggers on the other side. As soon as the bucket rotated past center on the short jacked side, the truck started to go over.



But, because the streets are so tight, the platform was scrapping across the front of the building, and instead of it collapsing instantly, it basically jumped and skipped from floor to floor all the way down to the ground, slow enough that the members and civilians in the bucket were not killed.



Had this occurred in a less densely occupied area, the entire truck and ladder would have come right down and most likely killed everyone in the bucket. I don't recall the extent of the injuries, I believe they were severe but I know nobody died. I recall that they righted the truck and were able to retract the ladder, but I don't know if it ever saw service again.

Mike - Do you have a shot of 111 when the wall collapsed and took the bucket off the rig??? 60's or 70's time frame I think
