Tyler, Schaumburg’s new truck will not have a pump. This is confirmed.

Mike C, I’m not sure, I’m going to say no since the current Truck 53 doesn’t have a pump but they could change it up.

I saw Hoffman estates is specific a new Tower ladder and Ferrara is building it.
This will be the second Ferrara for them.

Schaumburg’s new truck will not have a pump. Other than the obvious (aerial tower vs. aerial platform), it will be slightly different in compartment design from Schaumburg’s truck 52 that they purchased a couple years ago. Mike, are you looking for any specific specs? I’ll see if I can find some things out, I have a couple contacts there.

Will Hanover Park still keep four engines (2 front-line and two reserve) when they get the new one?
I would guess that this new one is going to become Engine 362 & the current one would become Eng. 364.
Again, all speculation.

Tyler, will Schaumburg’s new truck have a pump? Do you other specs?

Can’t wait for the new Truck 53!
