Aerial Ladders

All of our HD Series aerial ladders carry a 500# load at the tip plus an equipment allowance for accessories. 

This performance level is double the minimum recommendation proposed in NFPA 1901.

There are several features that make owning a Ferrara aerial the best choice:

Aerial Ladder Features

Ladder Section Lights
Turntable Control Panel

Our blue LED ladder section lights improve visibility and scene safety by illuminating your path to the building. This feature is standard on Ferrara aerial ladders and platforms. The ladder section lights are optional on other brands.

Angled Ladder Tip Egress
Turntable Control Panel

The ladder tips on all Ferrara aerial ladders have a steep angle on the fly section handrails. This design is intended to make the transition from the building to the aerial ladder easy. The angled tip also allows more space to move from a window to the ladder tip.

Another Ferrara standard is our high visibility paint color on the tip for easy location spotting. The serviceability of the ladder is improved with the bolt on tip for easy replacement should the need arise.

Turntable Control Console
Turntable Control Panel

The ladder controls are mounted street side to protect them from low hanging tree branches and permit the operator to see the pump operator position before deployment. Ladder controls are direct hydraulic for long life and easy repair as well as precise control feel.

The turntable controls can be supplemented with pump panel or remote controls. The remote option covers the water nozzle and ladder functions.

Positional Waterway System
Turntable Control Panel

The positional waterway system allows the turntable operator to switch from “Rescue Mode” (waterway monitor one section down from tip) to “Water Tower Mode” (waterway monitor at the tip) without the need to climb down the ladder and move a mechanical pin. The positional system also has indicator lights to notify the operator of a complete shift sequence.

Remote Control
Turntable Control Panel

The aerial device and monitor can be remotely controlled to expand your tactical options on the fire ground. The remote control feature could allow a master stream to be accurately placed on the fire from a position of better sight. The control could also be helpful when precise movements of the ladder are needed and the sight from the turntable may not be optimal.
