Lightweight platform for a fire apparatus

Abstract:

A fire apparatus includes a chassis, a ladder assembly having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the chassis, and a basket pivotably coupled to a distal end of the ladder assembly. The basket includes a floor panel coupled to a top surface of a subfloor assembly. The subfloor assembly includes a front member and a rear member each extending in a first direction, an inner member extending from the front member to the rear member, an outer member having a first end portion coupled to the rear member, and an angled member extending from a second end portion of the outer member to the front member. The front member and the rear member are offset a distance from one another in a second direction. The outer member is shorter than the distance such that the angled member extends at an angle relative to the front member.
