HISTORY & INTEREST

This new Code 3 model of Ladder 51 incorporates many tool modifications as listed:

Only 5 previous models have been released of the Sutphen Platform model.

The compartments on the Officer's side behind the rear wheels were changed from slam lock doors to roll up doors.

The revolving beacon lights on the rear were changed to yellow on the driver's side and red on the officer's side.

On the ladder bucket, the straight tip nozzle on the water gun that's on the driver's side was changed to a spray (fog) type nozzle.

The cab mirrors were changed from the Western type to the bus type mounted on the front cowling.

A led style light bar was used on the cab roof instead of the three revolving type lights.

A diamond plate was installed on the roof.

A tool box was added to the driver's side along side of the aerial ladder.

The two revolving warning lights on either side of the cab over the rear doors were removed.
