I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but has FDNY or their manufacturers ever dabbled with rear wheel steering on their longer wheelbase rigs to help with making tight turns? Some of the 95ft towers could definitely benefit from it just getting into and out of quarters, let alone navigating the ever-narrowing streets.

The need for a pair of dual axles on the rear of these rigs more than precludes the viability of rear wheel steering, just wondering if it was ever trialed.

The Pierce All Steer never was in big demand. Now Pierce restricts who the sell all steers to - I believe only to customers that own one already. I know of a department that had two and eventually just locked down the rear axle to no longer use all steer. There appears to be quite a few problems with these and very high maintenance and I am told accelerated tire wear.

Didn’t FDNY have rear-steering on the first Seagrave rear mount they acquired? And didn’t they disable the rear-steering after a while?

 

[airbusboeing]

Is the back axels on the truck companies powered or is it just a unpowered tag axel

The first Seagrave RMs in the 1970 FDNY did not have any rear steering action.....a few yrs later some had a 10% rear steering advantage ....I think LAD*47 had the first enabled one ?....on the first 1970s you could fool with the front steering stops to better the turning radius but this was frowned on by the Shops of course.
