Most if not all Crowns used aerial ladders supplied by Maxim. They may have been a few exceptions.

I believe the only aerial not provided by Maxim was on an aerial which was purchased by Reno, NV and it was a Hahn FireSpire. Rumor is there were issues with that ladder, and the truck was eventually scrapped. In fact, Redondo Beach, CA ordered what would have been the only Crown Wide Body TDA, but because it was ordered so close to the end of Firecoach production, Crown was not able to provide a cab in time, and therefore a Maxim cab was used. Here's the link to a photo on the Crown Is King site.
