E-ONE Displays More Versatile 100-Foot Platforms at FDIC International 2019

Ocala (FL) – E-ONE, a subsidiary of REV Group and a leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, announces enhancements for its aluminum and steel 100-foot platforms on display at FDIC International 2019, April 11-13, 2019, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The 100-foot platform enhancements include short jack capability, greater below grade reach, a new fabricated turntable and a new Cummins engine that is 600 pounds lighter, making these aerials more versatile than ever in meeting the demands of today’s fire departments.

Although the E-ONE 100-foot platform’s criss-cross under-slung jack spread of 15 feet, six inches requires less space than competitive models, the new short jack option allows the apparatus to be set up with outrigger deployed on only one side of the apparatus using a spread of only 11 feet, two inches.

“We are extremely excited about now being able to offer short jack capability on our 100-foot platforms,” said Joe Hedges, E-ONE Product Manager. “And with the added stab jack to the end of the outriggers, we gain a tremendous increase in lift, allowing departments to set up on steeper grades when performing rescue operations or fighting fires.”

The redesigned aluminum HP100 platform can now lower to 10 degrees below horizontal, greatly enhancing its rescue capability. “Customer feedback on the steel 100’ platform’s ability to go to -10 prompted us to design this same great feature into the aluminum 100’ platform as well,” said Hedges.

Other notable features of the E-ONE 100-foot platforms include:

  • 2.5 to 1 structural safety factor – exceeding NFPA requirements by 25 percent.
  • Large extruded aluminum platform with angled corners and perimeter step.
  • Wide ladder sections and tall handrails for safe and secure climbing.
  • Advanced Aerial Control System with color displays containing mission specific screens.
  • New fabricated turntable design reduces weight for additional equipment capacity.
  • Formed integral torque box frame provides a solid foundation for the chassis and aerial.
  • New Cummins X12 500 HP engine provides 600-pound weight reduction.

E-ONE Introduces Steel Mid-Mount Platform at FDIC 2019

OCALA, FLORIDA – April 10, 2019 – E-ONE, a subsidiary of REV Group and a leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, launches its first steel mid mount platform – the HPS100 Mid-Mount - at FDIC International, April 11-13 2019 in Indianapolis, IN.

The new HPS 100 Mid-Mount features a 100’ five-section steel aerial made with a patented greaseless roller system for smooth operation and very low maintenance. The newly designed aerial offers a range of motion that lowers to 12 degrees below horizontal. When lowered to below horizontal, the aerial has a front to rear sweep of up to 40 degrees, giving firefighters enhanced rescue capability.

“Designing the aerial with an enhanced scrub zone, or range of motion, helps firefighters place the aerial where needed,” said Joe Hedges, E-ONE Product Manager.

Newly designed from the ground up, the HPS 100 Mid-Mount also features a platform capacity of 1000 pounds dry and 500 pounds flowing, in addition to the 305 pound equipment load capacity. Other features include:

  • Crisscross under-slung front outriggers with 18’ spread and “H”-Style rear outriggers with only 11’7” spread
  • Functional turntable designed for firefighter staging
  • Outrigger auto-leveling system with optional wired or wireless controller
  • Extruded aluminum quint body with 300 gallon tank, hosebed and over 200 cubic feet of storage space for equipment
  • Enclosed ladder tunnel holding 163’ of ladders including a 35’ 2-section and a 20’ roof

 

The HPS 100 Mid-Mount tower also has its E-ONE aerial “DNA” with a 2.5 to1 structural safety factor and integral torque box chassis. This continues E-ONE’s strong reputation of reliability in the industry thanks to a track record of more than 35 years building on the solid design elements of our aerial system.
