For Rescue 3 in Memphis, they did a refurb of an old Snorkel that was sitting at the shops. Pierce mounted the Snorkel on a new chassis and body and after getting some bugs worked out, it appears to be working fine. That is certainly an option.

This is the same thing we did with the snorkel in my pic. We took our 1971 boom to Pierce and they refurbbed it and put it on a new chassis in 2003. We had to work out bugs as well but it is fine now. Rescue 3 boom gets raised more than ours but I know ours gets raised and operated every three days on each shifts first day back and it still works like a champ .
