Phoenix Fire Department’s new E-ONE HP 95 Platforms are part of eight-unit order

E-ONE, a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc., is pleased to announce the delivery of two E-ONE HP 95 Mid-Mount Platforms to the Phoenix Fire Department in Arizona. The apparatuses were purchased through E-ONE Dealer H&E Equipment.

These two platforms are part of an eight-unit order that includes a total of five platforms and three E-ONE HR 100 single-axle ladder trucks.

The Phoenix Fire Department will use these platforms as first-in vehicles. These are replacement trucks that have been updated with more ground ladders, more compartment space, upgraded air conditioning technology and more to meet current operational requirements.

Key features of the HP 95 Mid-Mount Platforms include:

• E-ONE Typhoon cab with 12in vista roof and severe duty interior
• AAP 120V shoreline powered air conditioning and HEPA Filtration system inside cab
• Integral torque box frame with a Cummins 605 HP X15 engine and Allison EVS4000P transmission
• Crisscross underslung forward outriggers with 18ft spread and H-style rear outriggers with only 11ft 2in spread
• Automatic levelling system for outriggers
• Extruded aluminium aerial with 2.5 to 1 structural safety factor
• Advanced Aerial Control System with colour displays featuring mission-specific screens
• Akron StreamMaster II AVM monitor with two 2.5in discharges for standpipe operations
• Three custom storage boxes on outside of platform for hose and miscellaneous equipment
• Parapet ladder system on front of platform with 16ft Duo-Safety ladder inside aerial fly
• Extruded aluminium body with over 300 cubic feet of compartmentation
• Shortened rear body to reduce tail swing
• Wide ladder tunnel with 166ft of Duo-Safety ground ladders with pike pole and back board storage

Phoenix Fire Department will use the three HR 100 single axle ladder trucks to better serve its growing community, providing greater manoeuvrability for tight areas in the city, added aerial response for mid-rises, more space for equipment and lower maintenance costs. The two single axle ladder trucks in service have already proven this to be true.

‘It’s exciting to see Phoenix add these two HP 95 Mid-Mounts to their growing fleet of E-ONE aerials,’ said Joe Hedges, E-ONE aerial product manager. ‘The platforms feature our new chassis and outrigger design with a single set of crisscross underslung outriggers below the turntable and narrow H-style jacks placed directly behind the rear axle for improved departure angle. The forward outriggers include outboard stab jacks to provide outstanding levelling capability.’ 

‘We chose E-ONE because of their excellent customer service and personalized attention to the high standards the Phoenix Fire Department adheres to for our apparatus,’ said Michael Schamadan, Phoenix Deputy Chief / Shift Commander. ‘Their design team was innovative and efficient, and the communication was great from design, prebuild, mid build and final delivery. Working with E-ONE and their local dealer was a great success.’
