Heavy Duty 100 Mid-Mount Platform
The popular Ferrara Heavy Duty 100 Mid-Mount platform fire truck will fit in nearly any firehouse with the standard height of only 10’ 9”, and is able to be designed as a quint or traditional truck. When operating off an overpass or bridge, the HD-100 can reach over 11’ below street level and 96’ from the turntable when fully extended at -12°. With an impressive horizontal reach, this 5-section aerial platform fire truck is able to access a 6th-floor window and overcome 86’ of a setback at only 30° elevation.
Features and Options
Bi-fold gates provide 23.5” opening on the mid-mount and 24” on the rear mount; wide enough to fit a patient in a stair chair.
We custom design the ladder tunnel to your needs. When you need to throw ground ladders, you’ll need plenty of them. The full length torque box provides storage for up to 200’ of ground ladders in a single compartment
Extension/retraction is smooth and rapid with our dual Siamese extension cylinders. Why settle for 2 extension cylinders when you can have 4?
Ferrara aerials all feature a full length torques box, providing stability for the aerial and a smooth ride for occupants. The front outriggers are integral with the torque box, connected by massive 6” x 8” beams for added support and stability.
Forward stabilizers on all Ferrara 4-jack aerials are directly behind the cab. When you set the truck with the front wheels off the ground, the front jacks support the weight of the cab and chassis with little to no frame sag.
Carry more gear with Ferrara’s rescue style compartments. Each opening on the driver side is 24” deep x full height. Our standard quint body style has over 250 cubic feet of compartment space.
Operate at negative elevations up to -12 degrees. At full extension, you can reach over 11’ below street level and, depending on mid- or rear mount, 94 to 96 feet from the center of the turntable.
Our NFPA mandated continuous handrails on Ferrara’s platforms are different. They maintain constant contact between the ladder and platform so you have a sure grip for easy ladder-to-platform transition no matter what angle the ladder is positioned.
Open grate flooring in the platform gives you sure footing, even in winter time during freezing conditions.
Ferrara’s optional rope rescue/lifting arm also doubles as a temporary stokes mount, including 2 tie-down points and straps to secure a patient. The stokes mount is to the left of the control panel and causes no interference
Our optional parapet roof ladder bracket allows you to safely access a parapet roof from our platform, using a standard size roof ladder.
Platform controls are located front-center, giving the operator the best view when positioning the bucket or approaching a structure.
Save set up time and stop guessing where the auxiliary ground pads should be placed. We offer an optional recessed magnet in the auxiliary pad, allowing you to connect to the stabilizer foot pad prior to deployment.
All sheaves are fully enclosed, so you don’t have to worry about getting PPE or other gear caught between the cable and pulley.
Stabilizer foot pads are angled slightly down toward the middle of the truck. During the winter, when you park the truck in your station, snow, ice and slush will melt and drain off the foot pad instead of melting there and causing the pad to rust.
Stabilizers are set using oversized paddle switches. They are easy to operate with a gloved hand, allowing you to keep your eyes on the stabilizer movement instead of the switch
The turntable control console has a clean design with easy to find and read instruments. The ladder controls are direct hydraulic, requiring no manual overrides.
Twin monitors are available both manual, 1 manual and 1 electric or both electric.
Well-lit ladder rungs for safe and easy night operations.
The wide, bi-fold, outward opening gates on our platform are wide enough to accommodate a stair chair, adding an extra dimension to your rescue capability.
