Any one see a rig like this before?[/quote]



Frank,



Thanks for posting these classic photos.



A rig ahead of its time. A "one off" aerial built in 1962.

The brochure for this truck listed five platform heights ranging between 55 and 100 feet.

LaFrance was also tested other utility vehicle markets with this aerial lift.

Eventually sold to a department in British Columbia (I don't recall the towns name).

Maybe another member will chime in with more details.
