I just re-read my post, and I can see some confusion in the way I worded it. I was referring to the Pierce medium duty aerials' bowing/tip load/rail height as compared to the Pierce heavy duty aerials. If the E\-One aerials are medium duty, I can only imagine what their heavy duty aerials can support (I'm mentally picturing something that looks like the Tobin Bridge).[/quote]
LOL...To be honest the tip load on our aerial is 250lbs w/o the safety factor...and i believe thats what bostons are...and they bounce a little but over all ours was north andovers old ladder one and has 60+k miles on it and was just refurbed just before we got it in 2005 and I'll tell you its a helluva truck...it can get up and go and w/ the 11' jack spread and 110' reach the thing can go ANYWHERE! I read someone elses post and E\-One still makes the hurricane cab, and I was looking at the new 110' they are coming back out with (i believe they went away for a while) and they look to be about the same except tandem axel. the heavy and even medium duty e-ones are crazy with rail heights...
