New Rearmount order

[Anthony Russo]

If anyone has driven the 01/02 Rear-mount Seagrave spares, compared to the newer Ferraras do those rigs seem to go faster? They got Detroit Diesel Engines in them compared to I believe all the newer rigs are running Cummins.

I have driven trucks for a living for many years, and both the Detroit, and Cummins diesels run about the same as for as speed depending on the axel ratio. However, Caterpillar diesels run like rabbits on an open highway. The DD series 60 has a flaw of drinking a lot of oil especially in trucks and buses. Not so sure about fire apparatus. Caterpillar no longer makes engines for commercial use except for their CT660 vocational truck. The Cummins diesel seems to be a favorite with many truck buyers, as well as bus companies.

Thank You Mr. Weaver. I have been trying to get my hands on this as well as the 75' and 95' Tower Ladders for the FDNY.

Supposedly the Cummins are lighter in weight, slightly quieter, slightly cooler, and use much less oil (on the floor underneath the rig)

One is for the 2012-2018 TL's, the other is for 2020-2023 TL's. I am hoping that they post the pe drawings for the 95-foot TL's.

The Cummins are lighter than the Detroit and they make less noise. Plus, the Cummins produce more low-end torque than the Detroit.

 

[Mr Weaver]

Cummins is coming out with the x10 in 2026 and will discontinue the L9 and X12. Supposed to be Federal emissions by 2027.

So, any updates on these apparatus, ... ? Where is Ladder 32 ? Any more of then delivered yet?

Yes, l'm getting panicky about them again .

 

[Mr Weaver]

Did you check Jersey? I know last month there were 14 rear mounts there.

Not even close to being true

*January. There were a bunch in production then and others leaving every other day to go to Jersey.

Were they FDNY destined ?

 

[Mr Weaver]

90% of the floor was. There were engines mixed in as well.

32 Trucks New Rearmount was delivered back in January I believe, then they sent it back to Seagrave because there were problems with it.(still is not back in service) No other Seagrave Rearmounts have been delivered to my understanding.

This was sent to me. Not sure of the origin of the photo. It’s one of our rigs being driven to Jersey last week for delivery.
