Why Choose a Rosenbauer Aerial?

Aerial fire trucks are a huge budget expense and major investment for a department. Focused on dependability, longevity, and serviceability, Rosenbauer Aerials are designed to last and ensure everyone on board makes it home safely.

Constructed with 70k and 100k material, the sturdy steel construction comes two ways. You can choose hot-dip galvanized steel or painted steel. Hot-dip galvanized steel provides maximum protection against corrosion and makes the aerial virtually maintenance free. Painted steel aerials look great and are strong. Both options are a great value.

Design elements such as the three-piece swivel makes it easy to perform maintenance and service checks. A non-aluminum center hydraulic spool allows for higher hydraulic operating pressures and reduced thermal issues.

If you’re looking to make a quality purchase for your next aerial fire truck, think Rosenbauer.

Cobra™ Aerial Platforms

Rosenbauer Cobra platforms are built to last decades. If you’re looking for a platform with maximum reach and capacity, consider a Cobra. They offer 75’ to 104’ of vertical reach and are available in a mid-mount or rear-mount configuration. Both configurations are ideal for rescues with limited maneuverability, giving you optimal access to hard-to-reach places. However, for a lower profile and better overhead clearance, choose a mid-mount platform. For maximum reach and capacity, make it a rear-mount platform.

Rosenbauer Cobra Aerial Platforms include the Rosenbauer SMART programming standard. This collection of unrivaled features enhances the safety and performance of the aerial fire truck. Twin double-acting cylinders provide -12 to +75 degrees of aerial operation and easy access for firefighters. With a water tank option up to 500 gallons and a fire pump flow rate up to 2000 GPM, Cobra Aerials are made to perform.

Additional features include:

• Easy-to-deploy side stack hose bed
• LED Rung lighting for maximum lighting and minimal amp draws at night
• EZ Load™ hose bed which will store 1,500 feet of rubberized 5-inch intake hose
• Ladder storage options that fit your entire NFPA ladder in the torque box
• EZ Climb™ stairs for safe crew onboarding
