When the tones go out for a rescue, the last thing you need is a math problem. Rosenbauer has taken the guesswork out of the equation by simplifying the traditionally complex aerial load chart. We know that when you’re on the pedestal, you need clear, actionable data. These redesigned charts give operators instant peace of mind, ensuring you know exactly what your truck can do the moment you arrive on scene.

Load chart. It’s right there on your screens, each and every one of them, so you know, and we made it really simple. Thousand pounds. No matter where I’m at in the stroke, I got it. Worst case scenario, okay? Remember, as I change elevation, I change abilities. It really shows because we kind of show the difference in degrees when we’re doing an evenly distributed load, okay? And so that is when I stick my basket up against the fourth floor of the Holiday Inn, and I just need to make a rescue bridge because I got to get 20 people out, and I’m not making this trip. I’m just like, “Everybody down.” As long as I evenly distribute that load across there, shoot, if I’m at in the 40-degree range, you know, I got almost 2,000 pounds that I can put on that evenly distributed, so I can keep them moving. So just kind of things to keep in the back of your mind. Probably that once-in-a-lifetime call, but at least you know it can do it, and you understand why we list things the way we do.
