Pierce Introduces New 107' Single Axle Steel Rearmount Ladder "Ascendant"

[Roto-Ray]

They've put quite a package together on a single rear axle:  107' of vertical reach, 100' of horizontal reach, 750 pound tip load dry, 500 pound tip load flowing 1500GPM, 2000gpm pump, 500 gallons of water, 115' of ground ladders, a ladder that's significantly lighter than the previous models.  It's running a 33,500 rear axle for all of that weight as well.  It rides on a 232" wheelbase, has two H-style outriggers ahead of the drive axle, and a single stabilizer that comes down centered between the rear frame rails.

 

Available on most Pierce chassis, does not require TAK4, and does not require a big block.

 

A dry model is under development, but is some time away.
