2022 Spartan Motors 85' Mid Mount Platform Base

2022 Spartan Motors 85' Mid Mount Platform

Designed for safety, functionality and serviceability, our platforms can flow large volumes of water or perform precision rescue operations—like a Swiss Army knife, they can do it all. Our platform controls have infinite feathering, ramping features, and low/medium/high "shift on the fly" speed controls providing smooth multifunction operation of the aerial, even at low angles of elevation and fully extended.

A 1,500 GPM flow rating is standard, with monitor capabilities of 45º up and down, and a full 180º horizontal sweep.

Features may include:

• 5-section ladder design

• 1000 lb. dry / 500 lb wet UNRESTRICTED

• 4 H-style outriggers

• 1500 GPM waterway flow

• Up to 300 US gallon tank capacity

• FP-4 Stabilizing System

Our unique stabilizing system places the front stabilizers just behind the cab of the apparatus. This forward placement provides superior fore/aft leveling capability on steep terrain, plus easy access to the pump panel, while reducing stress on the chassis.

• CP-84 Chrome Plated Waterway

The strongest, most durable waterway in the industry featuring a galvanized inner coating prevents corrosion of the 84,000 psi pipe. The exterior waterway is chrome plated to provide a smooth telescopic movement throughout the entire extension and retraction of the aerial ladder.

• AL-11 Aerial Logic

A totally integrated system that provides instant feedback on a ladder’s extension, location, retraction, angle, load and breathing air system status, as well as J1939 engine information.

• Joystick Controls

Electric-over-hydraulic joystick controls (optional) are a light touch for precision control.

• QL-12 Electrical System

Our reliable plug-and play system reduces the amount of non-plug connectors and makes it easy to add components and make repairs to the electrical system.

• LED Rung Lights

Smeal offers blue rung lighting for superior visibility in the aerial climbing area.

• Bi-fold Platform Doors

Two bi-fold doors at the front of the platform provide easy access and allow responders to easily egress to and from the platform. A hinged safety bar is located at each entrance for additional safety during rescue operations.

• Parapet Ladder Attachment

Offers an optional ladder attachment to help firefighters safely and securely climb to and from the platform and a building parapet or flat roof.

• Platform Leveling System

Spartan’s platform leveling system electronically monitors the position of the platform relative to the earth and not the position of the apparatus.
