Creeper Controls: Operating at 12 to 15 percent of normal operating speed, Creeper Controls allow pinpoint placement of the aerial tip for rescue operations.

Positional Waterway: Our patented positional waterway is an extremely popular option with many fire departments. This durable, dependable feature lets the operator position the waterway to either Rescue or Water Tower with a simple one-step procedure by switching modes from the turntable operator’s position.

QL-12 Electrical System: Our “plug n’ play” system reduces the amount of non-plug connectors and makes it easy to add components and make repairs to the electrical system. Smeal aerials come standard with a V-mux electrical system.

CP-84 Waterway: The CP-84 Waterway is a standard feature that

provides the strongest, most durable waterway on the market. A galvanized

inner coating prevents corrosion of the 84,000 psi pipe while the exterior waterway is chrome plated to provide

a smooth telescopic movement throughout the entire extension and

retraction of the aerial ladder.

FEATURES

FP-4 Stabilizing System: Smeal’s unique stabilizing system places

the front stabilizers just behind the cab of the apparatus; this forward placement provides easy access to the pump panel

while reducing stress on the chassis.

Substructure: Our hot dip galvanized body mounts come off the torque box and protrude outward to carry the body from the underside of the compartment structure. Additionally, both the upper and lower brackets have rubber blocks to absorb body shock. We also utilize an isolation barrier between dissimilar metals to prevent corrosion.

Interlocks and Short Jacking: When the aerial is short jacked, there is an interlock that prohibits the structure from going fully to the side that is short jacked. Another interlock occurs as part of the anti-body collision system. This prevents the aerial structure from crushing the body of the apparatus when it is lowered.

Hot Dip Galvanized Stabilizers: Our hot dip galvanized stabilizers

protect the metal in an area that is highly susceptible to road chemicals.

Ergonomic Hose Load: Smeal’s Ergonomic Hose Loader

(EHL) improves firefighter safety by placing a minimum of 1,000 feet of

5-inch LDH within a firefighter’s reach, eliminating climbs on wet, slippery apparatus to reload large-diameter

hose on aerials. Another Smeal-signature game-changer, it’s heavy-

duty and hydraulically powered.

AL-11: Featuring day and night modes, our AL-11 console saves time and improves operator efficiency with one-glance access to aerial functions like ladder load percentage, extension, rotation and elevation, and hydraulic oil pressure. It also displays all relevant engine information.

In this industry, you’ll never hear of anything being “too safe” or “too effective.” When we build our apparatus, quality is always

our top priority. It starts with the best materials—like our steel aerial ladders and substructures—to build the sturdiest trucks

available. The apparatus is constructed by our AWS-certified welders, and every single weld is NDT third-party inspected using

magnetic particle examination.

We individually paint each piece of our apparatus prior to final assembly to ensure total coverage. This gives our trucks their

exceptional look and is critical in effectively protecting against corrosion.

Before we send any apparatus out the door, it first goes through a number of rigorous tests to ensure performance is up

to Smeal quality standards. All of our efforts to ensure quality mean you’ll get the safest apparatus on the market.

Smeal aerials are designed to ensure you get the most out of the truck. With a number of safety features and options, your

apparatus will be easy to operate while achieving maximum performance.

DEDICATED TO QUALITY

Tested and Proven: Every Smeal aerial goes through a number of rigorous tests before leaving our facility.

There are a lot of fire apparatus manufacturers in this industry and, to be honest, most of them build a pretty

good truck. We don’t worry about other companies, though, because leaders don’t look back. They are focused

on the task at hand. Everyday, they push themselves to be the best, and for it, they are respected. Just like

you, there is a sense of honor in what we do. We work to make the perfect fire apparatus because we believe

the bravest of the brave deserve the best of the best. We are Smeal. We build respect.
