A visit to the Crimson Aerial facility in Ephrata, PA two weeks ago found three units in various stages of the production process. One was going to be shipped to the company’s facility in South Dakota for the mounting of the body, another was a few days behind the first, and the third chassis had not yet had the aerial mounted. By now they should all be in South Dakota.
One of Chicago's aerials at the Crimson facility in Ephrata, PA with the aerial mounted is ready to travel to South Dakota for the body installation.
The rear view shows the completed aerial assembly.
The frame rails extend beyond the torque box to accommodate the body.
Directly behind the cab is the front set of stabilizer jacks.
The rear jacks are beneath the turntable.
Two sections of a ladder for another truck have been assembled in the shop.
Closeup of the mid-section tip prior to the addition of the fly-section.
The torque box is being mounted to this chassis as the ladder is completed elsewhere in the plant.
