A PowerPoint slide that reads “Some departments use ladder trucks with stabilizers that fully deploy in less than 15’ width. Example: Rosenbauer Raptor in Nantucket, Mass. “Over 100' reach but drives like a pumper. The Raptor's short wheelbase allows this rescue-platform to maneuver in tight or congested street where others imply cannot. For this reason, the Raptor was a natural fit in the narrow streets of tourist communities such as Nantucket Island, Mass.” Source: http://www.rosenbaueramerica.com/apparatus/trucks/aerials/raptor/
#Nantucket, MA, bought a Rosenbauer Raptor aerial in 2006, because it was designed to work well on the island's slender streets. The Raptor's ladder reach is 102 feet. Its outriggers can be extended to their maximum spread in less than 14 feet 9 inches of width.
