AerialCat^TM platforms bring safety and ease of operation to every response. The 95' and 102' platforms offer the shortest wheelbases and overall lengths and lowest travel heights in the industry. Recognized as the strongest ladders available, KME ladders also take smooth operation to a whole new level. Our motion control systems provide safer and easier controls than any truck ever built for the fire service.

 MAXIMUM LEVELING CAPABILITY

Getting your AerialCat in operation is a simple, one-person process with our handheld outrigger controller featuring the automatic leveling system. Setup in tight spots is no problem either with the ability to short jack the outriggers, which only requires outriggers on the operating side to be fully deployed.

 

KME platforms have the ability to perform at full capacity on slopes up to 11 degrees. You can lower the stabilizers a full 19" to set up on virtually any terrain and operate reliably, even on a severe grade.

 

 BIG PERFORMANCE

It isn’t always about how high you can go but what capabilities your aerial has at low elevations.  KME’s steel ladder has a lift geometry that allows you to go an unobstructed 248 degrees of rotation at 10 degrees below horizontal without any impact on platform capacities or while flowing water.  That same design also allows you to set the platform on the ground with the ladder fully retracted at a mere 33’ from the apparatus.  Need more?  Our aerial will allow you to be 14’ below grade at -10 degrees below horizontal and fully extended.

KME’s aerial platform turntables exclusively feature our “fail-safe” turntable retention bolts.  A 1-1/4” bolt passes through the entire turntable structure which when set at it’s specified torque pre stresses each weld in the turntable.  This feature minimizes the stresses of operating your aerial during low level conditions.

 

 MORE EQUIPMENT STORAGE

Whether your aerial functions as a first-due quint or as a true truck, KME knows that storage is important. With body configurations designed to suit your needs, our numerous designs provide over 240 cubic feet of storage, including storage for 1,000' of large-diameter hose in an easy-access straight-shot hose bed. All body styles seature full height / full depth designs that allow for storage of tools and equipment. Most compartments feature a depth of 26" without sacrificing vaulable storage space to allow for an NFPA 1901 or ISO complement of ground ladders.

 

FLOW RATES OF OVER 3,000 GPM AT THE PLATFORM OPTION

KME has the highest flow rate of over 3,000 gpm at the platform at full extension and elevation all while maintaining a 250 lb platform capacity! Using a standard KME ladder and an increased waterway with dual monitors, the unit is excellent for both industrial and high capacity municipal operations. If you can supply the water, a KME AerialCat^™ can flow it!
