In 1882, we began production of a remarkable screw-driven extension ladder truck to meet the needs of a newly-emerging class of urban firefighters. As buildings climbed higher and higher, traditional ladders weren’t cutting it, but the Hayes Aerial amazed everyone with its impressive 85’ reach.

It was considered an earth-shattering achievement at the time, and we continue that tradition of innovation today with our solid line of aerial ladders and platforms, designed to tackle any elevation situation.

Tractor Drawn - Exceptional Aerial capability, with superior maneuverability and control to get the unit into tight fire scenes.
TeleSQURT - A compact rated aerial, which when combined with a pump provides a versatile first-out unit to handle both rescue and fire suppression operations.
Ladders - When you need altitude in a hurry, you can’t beat the safety and reliability of an American LaFrance Aerial Ladder. With some of the highest tip-load capacities in the industry and simplified hydraulic controls, in rear-mount or mid-mount configurations, our high-strength steel ladders are designed for optimum performance, rigidity, and heat resistance.
Platforms - Whether you need an elevated work area or a high-reach water tower, the American LaFrance line of Aerial Platforms can meet the challenge. With some of the highest tip-load capacities in the industry and simplified hydraulic controls, in rear-mount or mid-mount configurations, our Aerial Platforms give you a commanding 360° view of the scene.
