Quote:Do all Boston ladder companies carry hydraulic rescue tools? Is this set-up with reels and onboard power unit for the HRT new on these rigs, or do the older rigs have similar lay outs?
Saw Ladder 17 at the Harrisburg Expo - The covers on the outriggers are probably the most heavy duty ones I have seen - reinforced and Line-x'ed also. (My son liked them too...)
Thanks,
Gary
Yes, all Ladder companies as well as Engines 2, 3, 4, 5 & 41 carry Amkus hydraulic rescue tools. Rescues 1 & 2 as well as the new trucks (Ladders 17, 18 & 19) have reels, the rest of us do not. My company carries the tools in one cabinet (Spreaders, Cutters & 2 Rams) and the hydraulic generator in the next cabinet on a roll out shelf.
