Embodiment approach

[0031] According to an exemplary embodiment, a fire truck of five-piece construction includes a water tank, aerial ladder, hose storage, landing ladder, water pump, and a single rear axle. Although some conventional fire trucks of five-piece construction have a ladder assembly mounted on a single rear axle chassis, the ladder assemblies of such fire trucks traditionally have a vertical extension of 75 to 80 feet and a horizontal extension of 67 to 72 feet. out of distance. The vertical extension height may include the distance from the highest rung of the ladder assembly to the ground when the ladder assembly is fully extended. The stick out distance may include the horizontal distance from the point of rotation (eg, the point of connection of the ladder assembly to the fire equipment, etc.) to the farthest rung with the ladder assembly extended. Traditionally, the increase in vertical extension height or horizontal extension distance is achieved by increasing the weight of v...

Abstract

A quint configuration fire apparatus includes a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis and having a storage area configured to receive a ground ladder and a fire hose, a pump coupled to the chassis, a water tank coupled to the chassis, a ladder assembly including a plurality of extensible ladder sections, the ladder assembly having a proximal end that is coupled to the chassis, and a single rear axle coupled to a rear end of the chassis. The ladder assembly is extensible to provide a horizontal reach of at least 100 feet and a vertical height of at least 105 feet.

[0001] Cross-references to related patent applications [0002] This application claims priority and the benefit of U.S. Application No. 14 / 552,252, filed November 24, 2014, which is related to: U.S. Application No. 14 / 552,240, filed November 24, 2014; U.S. Application No. 14 / 552,260, filed November 24; U.S. Application No. 14 / 552,275, filed November 24, 2014; U.S. Application No. 14 / 552,283, filed November 24, 2014; and US Application No. 14 / 552,293, filed April 24, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0003] Five-piece construction firefighting equipment (eg, fire truck, etc.) includes an aerial ladder, water tank, landing ladder, water pump, and hose storage. Ladders can be classified according to their horizontal extension distance and vertical extension height. Traditionally, weight has been added to firefighting equipment (eg, by making various components heavier or larger, etc.) in order to increase the horizontal...
