SLTDA 105 Aerial Ladder

The SLTDA 105 brings Sutphen’s trusted engineering to a tractor-drawn aerial (TDA) configuration, combining maximum maneuverability with heavy-duty performance. Built on Sutphen’s rugged Monarch custom chassis and paired with a huck-bolted aluminum aerial and stainless steel body, the SLTDA 105 delivers exceptional strength, durability, and long-term reliability. Its Tillerman cab features generous interior space, including an in-cab training seat, making it as functional as it is comfortable.

With the ability to jackknife at 90 degrees for optimal setup in tight spaces, the SLTDA 105 is purpose-built for urban response and complex access scenarios. It offers expansive, customizable compartment space to support rescue or aerial-focused missions.
