Seven Pierce Aerial Tiller Apparatus Purchased By Los Angeles City Fire Department

That is how they are designed. If you look at their other tillers they are a similar design, it looks like you use the ladder as a step. Not sure why but they are very specific in their designs. I wish we had known it was there when we did our pre-construction earlier this month. I would have liked to see the differences versus the normal Pierce design. Hopefully we will see one when we do our final on the engines or the tiller.
