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.
