- 85’ vertical reach at only 72 degree elevation
- 81’ horizontal reach
- Each aerial is manufactured in accordance with NFPA pamphlet 1901.
- A professional third party testing company performs a flow test and structural inspection on all aerials.
- 2:1 Structural Safety Factor

Platform
- Platform leveling system uses a gravity level-sensing inclinometer, which reduces additional hydraulic lines needed for master/slave type systems. This system is based on gravity, which means the platform will remain level regardless if the apparatus is positioned on a severe grade.
- Bi-Folding doors allow clear, 23.5” unobstructed entrance into and out of the platform
- The platform basket is designed in four (4) modular sections, so if it is damaged, replacement is less costly.
- Interior work area of Ferrara’s mid-mount platforms is unmatched, with over 20 square feet of interior work area.
Aerial
- Egress handrails stay with the aerial fly section to allow entrance into the platform when climbing at vertical angles.
- All Ferrara platforms use a mil-spec internal corrosion coating on all structural members that are internally exposed to the atmosphere. This coating constitutes a 20-year internal corrosion warranty for the platforms aerial structure.
- All platform waterways are hot-dipped galvanized, polished and then chrome plated for superior strength and durability. The waterway carries a 10-year warranty that includes the seals.
- All platforms come standard with an interlock system. This system prevents platform from being lowered into the cab and body by the operator.
