REV: 04-29-25 LF <br />The pads shall utilize low coefficient of friction materials to reduce the resistance between the <br />pads and ladder sections. The ladder rails shall be sprayed with a rust prohibitive paint to maintain <br />a high “in service” level of operation and shall be designed to require minimum amounts of <br />lubrication. <br />AIR/ELECTRIC LADDER TRACK <br />All air and electric line routing from the turntable to the tip of the aerial device shall be <br />accomplished using a flexible conduit system. Routing shall be such that cables shall be fully <br />enclosed except at points of transition between sections. <br />The conduit shall run along the handrail uprights, between the ladder sections, so the conduit <br />does not decrease the interior width of the ladder. <br />ROTATION SYSTEM <br />An external tooth monorace bearing shall be provided for 360 degree continuous rotation in either <br />direction. To ensure proper bearing installation and long service life, surfaces of both the open <br />base bearing plate and the turntable bearing plate shall be milled. Units that do not have milled <br />bearing surfaces shall not be acceptable. <br />The bearing shall be bolted to the turntable and bolted to the open base support plate, using 7/8” <br />diameter Grade 8 bolts. A planetary drive, powered by a hydraulic motor, shall provide precision <br />rotation control throughout 360 degrees of rotation. A spring-applied, hydraulically-released disc <br />type brake shall be furnished to provide positive braking of the turntable assembly against <br />reactionary forces such as water flow and gravity. <br />The turntable rotation bearing shall be easily accessible for lubrication and retorquing of bolts <br />from the turntable side, for ease of access. <br />Access to the turntable bearing bolts which requires the removal of the ground ladders and/or the <br />ground ladder slide assemblies, during bolt retorquing process, shall not be acceptable. <br />ROTATION SAFETY SYSTEM <br />The Rotation Safety System shall be designed to prevent the operator who has primary <br />operational responsibility from rotating the aerial device into an overturning mode. This system <br />senses outrigger and outrigger jack positioning in conjunction with the aerial device movement. <br />Indicator lights (IQAN CLASSIC) or on-screen graphics and warning messages (IQAN <br />ADVANCED) shall be provided on the turntable control console to indicate outrigger not fully <br />deployed status. <br />If the aerial device operator attempts to rotate the aerial device (in excess of approximately 5 <br />degrees beyond vehicle center) towards the side of the vehicle in which the outriggers are not <br />fully deployed, the Rotation Safety System shall sense this fault and prevent the aerial from <br />rotating further in said direction. At this point, only rotation to the fully deployed outrigger side <br />shall be allowed. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.089/Fire Apparatus Solutions (Purchase of Spartan-LTC 105' TDA) (Page 138 of 150)
