Used Aerials, Ladder Trucks & Quints for Sale

An aerial is one of the largest purchases a department makes, and the used market is where a great many of them change hands. This category covers rear-mount and mid-mount aerial ladders, tractor-drawn tillers and quints. The distinction worth settling first is whether you need a quint — an aerial carrying a pump, water tank and hose bed — or a truck company rig that brings ladders, tools and a crew and leaves the water supply to the engine.

After that, compare aerial length and tip load, how the device is mounted, and the body's storage for the tools you intend to carry. Ask for the most recent annual aerial certification and non-destructive testing results, plus service records for the hydraulics, outriggers and turntable. Check overall height, length and wheelbase against your station doors and your response area before you fall for a particular truck.

Brindlee Mountain has traded used apparatus for more than twenty years and can service or refurbish an aerial before it is delivered, so a truck that is mechanically right but tired to look at is still worth a conversation. Filter by price, year, state or aerial length, and save a search to hear when the next one arrives.
