Used Towers & Platforms for Sale

Tower ladders and aerial platforms put a crew in a bucket at the working end of the aerial, which changes what the truck can do: a stable platform for rescue and ventilation, and an elevated master stream with the waterway already plumbed to the tip. They are among the most expensive apparatus to buy new, which is precisely why the used market is worth watching.

Compare vertical reach and horizontal extension, rated platform capacity, and the waterway and monitors. Decide whether you need a pump and tank on board or whether the platform will always work off a supply line. As with any aerial device, ask for the current certification and non-destructive testing results, and for service records covering the hydraulics, outriggers and turntable. Confirm the truck's height and weight suit your station and the streets you would run it on.

Platforms come up for sale less often than pumpers, so save a search and let Firetruck Finder tell you when one is listed rather than checking back. If nothing on the lot fits, Brindlee Mountain buys and sells across North America and can watch the market for a particular configuration, then refurbish or repaint the unit before it is delivered.
