Why Is Aerial Ladder Maintenance So Important?

So your fire company treasurer wants to know if it is really necessary to spend money on aerial maintenance. We see some crazy things come through our shop and some could be prevented by performing regular preventative maintenance. An aerial device used for firefighting & rescue operations can be one of the most dangerous tools in your collection if it is not being maintained by qualified personnel. You do not want to finally notice a problem when you are 100 ft in the air!


Regular preventative maintenance will insure your safety and prolong the life of the hydraulic systems, cabling, wear pads and seals. It doesn’t matter if your department runs a low volume of calls and rarely uses your aerial device. In most cases, lack of use will cause hydraulic cylinder seals to dry out and grease to harden. So just because your ladder only gets out of the cradle a few times a year, it doesn’t mean that regular maintenance could or should be delayed.

Aerial operators should be the first line of defense when it comes to maintaining an aerial device. The device should be checked daily according to your fire departments SOP and the manufacturers’ recommendations. Discrepancies should be reported and repaired immediately by a qualified repair facility.

Fire Line Equipment employs a team with over 125 years of aerial repair and refurbishing experience. On a daily basis we are repairing fire trucks and supplying replacement parts to fire departments and apparatus dealers from all over the country.

Here are a few photos of damaged aerial components that could have possibly been prevented through regular maintenance.

On Spot Tire Chains


Fire Line Equipment is pleased to announce that we now offer parts and service for On Spot Tire Chains in Pennsylvania.


About On Spot: ONSPOT is the originator of the automatic tire chain system. The system was invented in Sweden in 1977. ONSPOT has been available from ONSPOT of North America since 1988. The system has been manufactured in the USA since 1992.

How the On Spot Tire Chain System Works:

The Onspot Automatic Tire chain offers the traction of a single set of conventional snow chains at the flip of a switch, without having to stop the vehicle.

An electric switch mounted in the cab provides 12 volts to an air solenoid mounted on the vehicle’s frame rail. Compressed air to the solenoid is supplied from either the vehicle’s onboard air system or a 12-volt compressed air kit.

When the dashboard switch is activated, the solenoid opens allowing compressed air to enter the air chamber and lower the chainwheel so it contacts the inside of the tire. The friction between the tire and the rubber-covered chainwheel causes the chainwheel to rotate, creating enough centrifugal force to flail the chains out in front of the tire. (The principle of the system is similar to a small generator driven by a bicycle tire to operate a headlight.)

Six lengths of chain spaced at 60-degree intervals on the chainwheel ensure that there are always two (2) chains between the tire and road surface whether you are accelerating, braking or are in a wheel lockup condition. The traction from the chainwheel is obtained in forward OR reverse.

When the dashboard switch is turned off, the solenoid exhausts the air provided to the chain units and return springs in the air chambers bring the chainwheels back to their resting position.
