I'm perhaps one of the very few former firefighter/engineers' that preferred other brands, but this particular model as configured; is an absolute home run!
Christofer Riche you still gotta be a firefighter to do that big guy, you can’t just get hired on to drive one you have to work your way up to that guys that drive the rigs are called engineers gotta be on the job for awhile.
Nice and unique body style for a department with a certain height and length requirement. Could also be good for a department on a tight budget so they could intergrate an engine and a ladder into one. It looks cool too. Keep it up Pierce.
Nice appliance. Have you heard of Bronco SkyLift F112 HLA. What is the highest building if the twin towers were still there that truck will not reach the top floor.
Tulsa purchased 5 E-One/Bronto Skylifts, 3 of them as recent as 2013, by 2017 (4 years) they were removed from service, hell 1 failed on live TV at a chemical fire, So Tulsa had to do an emergency order of 4 inventory Ladder Trucks from Pierce because the Brontos were not usable, Tulsa ordered 4 more from Pierce after the initial 4. The Brontos can do things other ladders can't but doesn't matter if they don't work.
You have to jump off the turntable and walk along the body in order to egress. If there's snow or ice that's an easy way to break your neck. Cool design but has it's drawbacks
They advertise a minimum of 170' ground ladder capacity. 35' easy, probably a 40' max. They may be able to engineer a side stack option, although that would add to the overall height and one of their selling points is the low clearance.
Dear Santa: I would like a full sized 100' Pierce tower engine. I would like a prehensile wall piercing 12 foot water Stinger installed under the bucket.

I have never been a huge fan of mid mounts even thou they have many advantages, but this is super sweet & many attributes.
The design of these "trucks" never ceases to amaze me. It looks incredible!
Who says Americans don’t make anything anymore. This is one beautiful Fire truck 🚒! Way to go Pierce!
*This. is. amazing!*
I wish social media was around when I was still in the service. This truly allows us to see the engineering applications
I love how when he's calling out the numbers he gets louder letting u know numbers don't lie lol
Can't wait to see the 5 you're building for Montreal Fire department
I wouldn't mind having a job, just driving one of these & op'g the equip too!

Spencer Matthews its a pierce.
Pierce is shit they wish they were half as good as Seagrave
whats the weight of the steel ladder
Did this replace the 95' platform offering, noticed it is not on the website, but the mid-mount straight ladder is.
FirebrewTV According to everything I can find, it did replace the standard mid mount

There are more steps next to the pump module.
whats the longest ground ladder you can place into the rear of this truck? Ability to side stack ladders?

What are the price ranges ?
Depending on options, but roughly 1.2 million.
Rosenbauer T-rex is the way to go.
