04/13/10 59 W, 2 I - + 2 - 3 Ladders by Lee

Lee Wilson recently posted a pair of nicely-posed ladder truck photos, if you haven't seen them. Below is Wake Forest Ladder 1 and Raleigh Ladder 5. The former is a 2006 Pierce Dash platform, 95-feet. The latter is a 2009 Pierce Arrow XT platform, 105100-feet. Click to enlarge both. He is the master of such shots.

Mike,
The later is a 100’ rear mount platform not a 105’. Please note the length is at the base of platform.

That would be why it says 100’ just below the Pierce logo on the bucket :)
