Engine 57 did not get a "third axle" installed. The single rear axle was removed and a tandem axle setup was installed. A true "third axle" would be along the lines of a tag axle similar to what many dump trucks and concrete mixers are equipped with.



This page has plenty of detail photos of Engine 57 prior to the recent reconfiguration.

With regards to the new order for Truck 15, this will be the first tractor drawn aerial that is branded as a Rosenbauer. Spartan has made many tiller chassis over the years, General Safety (now Rosenbauer MN Division) has built tiller trailers before, and RK Aerials (now Rosenbauer Aerials) is not new to the business of manufacturing an aerial device for a TDA application.



Here is the press release with concept drawings for Truck 15:
