KME Rearmount Ladders


 

KME sole source, custom manufactures the broadest family of aerials in the fire service.  With 21 aerial models, KME has an AerialCat for every department’s needs. 

We offer six Rear Mount Ladder aerials ranging from 75’ to 121’ with 500, 750, and 1000lb tip loads.  KME ladder trucks are known for their maneuverability with the shortest wheelbases and overall lengths and lowest travel heights in the industry.  KME’s E-ControlTM motion control systems provide unprecendented ease of control and smooth operation and superior safety systems.  The aerial ladders are constructed of heavy duty, 80,000psi steel with a 2:1 structural safety factor.  Our aerials are subjected to rigorous proof load testing and UL certification and KME is the only manufacturer in the fire service to do this, because we know that the KME product is unequaled in strength, stability, and reliability.
