I believe these are the rigs on Spartan chassis with body work by Carl Thibault. Is that correct?
RK isn't the only maker this has happend to. When training on a new ladder tower in HFD the same thing happened and the Pierce rep, there for the training, said it was OK...scary no matter who makes the rig.
In my department we would have done this test at the factory during the final inspection. If this would have happened we would have told them to keep the rig as we loaded up for the airport while calling city legal.
