Ladder trucks - Import export

A turntable ladder (TTL) is an aerial apparatus with a large ladder mounted on a pivot which resembles a turntable, giving it its name. The key functions of a turntable ladder are allowing access of firefighters and fire victims at height, providing a high-level water point for firefighting To increase its length and reach, the ladder is often telescopic. Modern telescopic ladders may be hydraulic. These mechanical features allow the use of ladders which are longer, sturdier, and more stable.
