We recently had the opportunity to check out the new Pierce Ascendant Aerial built by Pierce Mfg at FDIC 2015. The Ascendant is a 107' aerial built on a single rear axle. This is a very interesting new design and we are very curious to see how well it operates. You can tell from the pictures the outriggers provide a slightly wider footprint than many other single rear axle aerials. The Ascendant can be configured with 500 gallons of water, with no pump/no water, or with the PUC. This Ascendant is built on the Enforcer chassis which is a good looking and functional cab. We have provided a gallery below and a couple videos for you to view. Check them out. [flagallery gid=7]
