Specifications

Proposal Number PSDF #P09-0004
Outrigger Spread
The total width from the center of pivot pin to center of pivot pin when the outriggers are fully extended shall
be approximately 17’ 6".
SIDE TO SIDE AND FRONT TO REAR LEVELING GAUGES
A leveling gauge shall be installed on the rear to show when the apparatus is level from side to side. A
second gauge shall be provided on the rear to show when the apparatus is level from front to back. The
approximate size of the leveling gauges shall be 3" x 1-1/2".
OUTRIGGER AUXILIARY PLATES
Auxiliary outrigger plates, 24" x 24", shall be provided for each outrigger. The plates shall be a lightweight
#PE1000 strong and lightweight engineered plastic with a handle for easy movement. The plates shall be 1-
1/2" thick.
OUTRIGGER SHIELD LIGHTS
Warning lights shall be located on the outside of the outrigger shield. The lights will be wired to the chassis
warning lights switch located in the cab.
SHORT-SET OUTRIGGERS
The aerial device shall be equipped with a system for short-jacking.
A short-set outrigger is an outrigger that is not out at least 96 percent of its total extension capability.
Short-set front outriggers shall not affect ladder movement while the ladder is less than 2 degrees or greater
than 50 degrees of rotation on either side of the ladder bed and less than 45 degrees elevated.
Short-Set rear outriggers shall not affect ladder movement while the ladder is within 50 degrees either side of
the ladder bed and less than 45 degrees elevated.
If a short-set restriction is active, the Outrigger Not Extended indicator light at all ladder control stations
shall flash rapidly.
The aerial shall monitor the outrigger placement of all outriggers and the elevation extension and load on the
aerial to determine if the aerial can rotate safely over a short set outrigger.
OUTRIGGER CONTROL PANEL
The outrigger control panel shall have a switch to energize the hydraulic system for outrigger functions. The
switch shall increase the engine speed to 1,200 RPM when in the "ON" position. In the "OFF" position, the
engine speed shall return to normal idle speed and the hydraulic system shall be de-energized. An outrigger
control with a Automatic “high Idle” activation control is acceptable
Control Panel
The control panel shall include the following:
