Keasbey NJ's 1972 Mack CF Baker 2013 KME Rehab
#27
FWIW, I have operated many types of apparatus. And IMO, a single axle aerialscope is still the best piece anyone can own. This Dept. went much further than a Long Island Dept with their refurb, basically replacing everything but the boom, jacks, cab and outriggers. I taught a class outside of Scranton using a single axle Mack, and told them with their area, replacing this with a tandem axle behemoth offsets the maneuvariability (? WOW..lol) of a single axle Mack. Upgrading the axles, adding a Jake or a Telma to assist with braking (especially on hills) more than makes up for the second axle for braking (and I am aware of the weight restrictions lately as well).


Funny thing is, we have a pic of this rig at the Knickerbocker job hanging in quarters. Some guys might be amazed the rig is still running. Even with a Detroit, its still a Mack.. lol


Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
