Quote:I can understand the concern after this summer...but that statement is very ill informed. Sutphen has spent millions to test and have statistical data on these trucks along with some additional engineering to ensure that their aerials are the safest and strongest on the market.
I can tell you this, I would have NO problems taking my wife and 2 young daughters up in ANY Sutphen aerial!!
Tell that to my taxpayers that haven't had a (less than five year old million dollar) tower ladder since MAY. I can't take anyone up in this Sutphen aerial because the "retrofit" got pushed back...again.
