New tower ladder for Palatine (update)

This from Adam Rothenberg:

We are up finishing our last day of final inspections in Sioux Falls.  We got lucky and had a nice 45 degree day on Monday to fly the ladder before the snow and cold came in.
Here are a couple of full body pictures.

New tower ladder for Palatine

The Palatine Fire Department purchased a tower ladder from SpartanERV which is currently in production. The body as been fabricated in South Dakota, and the aerial, torque box and outriggers were added to the chassis at the plant in Pennsylvania.

As the partially completed unit is traveling from PA to SD, it made a short detour Tuesday morning to Palatine so that fire department personnel and fleet mechanics could have an opportunity to look it over.
