This is a drive-able 1999 Pierce aerial ladder truck. The cab and chassis are also a 1999 and the model is a Quantum. The engine is a Detroit Diesel series 60 and the transmission is an Allison EVS 4060. It is equipped with a Harrison 10kw hydraulic PTO operated power generator that operates. It has a 105-foot PAL105 aerial device. It has a Hale mid-ship QSMG-150/ 1500-GPM pump, an Elkhart panel mounted foam eductor that is pre-piped to the front cross lay. It has a combination 5″ rear discharge from the pump or direct aerial waterway inlet switched by a valve. There are five seat positions with 3 SCBA seats (1 fold down jump seat, non SCBA). It has a center mounted EMS cabinet, forward facing, in the rear of the truck cab. The only equipment provided with the truck will be the ground ladders and the electric fog nozzle for the master stream. The ladders are a 10′ folding, 14′ combination, 1-16′ roof, 1-14′ roof, 1-12’ roof, 24′ extension, and a 35′ extension.
Current pump test certification from 2018. Annual inspection reports. Current on preventive maintenance. Last passing aerial test was 2017
Recent history repairs-
Pump overhauled in 2011, engine rebuilt in 2012, transmission replaced in 2012, front frame rails are splinted due to stress cracks just behind engine/transmission mounts left and right, aerial swivel replaced in 2013. All overhead emergency light bars upgraded to LED in 2013.
Broken, damaged, or inoperative-
The aerial device failed annual inspection in 2018 due to excessive wear in the primary rotation bearing. The rear frame has been repaired several times but does still have significant rust scale, rust jacking, and corrosion. The rear suspension has rust holes in the suspension carriers and the right side will need to be repaired or replaced. The A/C compressor is inoperative/ seized, and the belt was removed. The truck was driven into approximately 4′ of water in 2011.

mike c mike despite it being in bad shape but keep in mind it is almost say 21 yo for a ladder around here that is old out east this would be still serving because out east they are not wasteful with tax payer I have 2 friends that live in wooddale and they pay almost 20 000 a year in taxes that is crazy and that is DuPage that is why I cannot wait to go live out east it is 100 percent better vehicles people and heck a lot of places see 400 inches of snow a season which would be a dream come true for me

Why not just put a low reserve on this and get rid of it? Total junk!

I always hated the fronts on those, with what looks like an after market body kit. I do like the little windows at the top, I don’t why.

The district will ask for a tax increase in the spring, if they get that increase will they get a new truck?

This was RE – LISTED After this failed to meet the reserve price , and FAILED to meet a reserve Once Again.
I can only guess the repairs are a bit overwhelming for a reserve price auction that 8250.00 wasn’t good enough on a 20 year old unit with lots of issues .

Those original QUANTUM’s were IMHO not the most attractive but they were easily recognizable.
