Smeal Picks Up LTI.......

[npfd801]

Besides the above points, the ALF chassis REALLY seemed to catch a lot of flak for all of their issues.  There were a lotof late-model ALF chassis rigs on the used market, mostly due to issues that were never solved with the chassis.  When we were shopping for a used aerial a couple years ago, there were tons of ALF chassis units compared to others because departments were unloading them. Three local departments run Eagle chassis and all have been terrible from a reliability standpoint.  Countless builders that built on them before ALF pulled the plug on the body builders all said the same thing about the chassis being nothing but trouble...

To add to this, three local ALF chassis  users have had such frame rot issues the bodies needed to be removed from the frames and extensive replacement work needed to be done.  These rigs are not that old...
