Teddy you’re pretty right on except AI was bought by American LaFrance, I think in the early 2000’s. AI went down on the sinking ALFCO ship in 2014.

It is my understanding that Mahlon Zimmermen, who formed LTI from Grove Crane wanted to get back into the business after he sold LTI to Simon Snorkel, several years after, he started Aerial Innovations which was just down the road from LTI, and if my information is correct, Crimson bought the rights to his company when they were developing their Aerial line, someone should be able to confirm or deny lol

This lasted a long time! Aerial Innovations has been out of business for many years. I don’t think A – I really used any proprietary parts so I’d like to this it can be serviced if necessary. Might make a decent truck for a lower volume call department.
