Companies like Ladder 2 and Ladder 25, with their 2006 seagraves, that wont be replaced until 2017, by which time Ferrara might not be the supplier, must be thanking their lucky stars hearing all the bad feedback about these new rearmounts..

They have pulled mechanics from as far as Oregon state to handle the number of repairs needed on these rigs. The city is certainly cashing in the warranty right now.....

L49 has been O.O.S. for a clip. L42 has held up for a while now since they were using a spare last. L29 has been without it's rig for a 2 months.

EVERY apparatus manufacturer has flaws and bugs in their apparatus and workmanship. You really can`t single out Ferrara. It all has to do with the custom build. Every rig is built by hand, and they are not truly tested over the long haul like cars and commerical trucks are. One would think with the amount of money these rigs cost that they would be perfect, but of course we know its not. I agree with FDNY and their warranty requirement. Make these manufactures stand behind their product. FDNY's warranty requirement actually indirectly effects apparatus made for other towns because the manufactures learn how these rigs hold up to severe punishment FDNY puts them through. That actually helps make better rigs in the future.
Does anyone how well garbage turcks and buses handle NYC streets? What is their lifespan?

L 3 received its new apparatus on July 19, 2012.
