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

[Bryce]

Keep in mind LA has the largest elevation change of any major city in the U.S. The lowest point in the city is sea level, while the highest is over 5000 feet up. The hills necessitate rigs with high angles of approach and departure, part of which is accomplished by the slope on the rear of the trailer.


Also there's steps up to the tiller cab on both sides. They're semi hidden, are diamond plate, and if you look closely you'll see them. Not super ergonomic, but they've done it that way forever.
