SP 70 Aerial Platform

The SP 70 combines the power and versatility of an aerial platform with the compact footprint and agility of a single-axle apparatus. Its rugged box boom construction and ground-accessible platform with dual monitors deliver the reach and suppression performance departments need, while remaining maneuverable. With underslung jacks and a compact setup station, the SP 70 is built for rapid response and streamlined operation.

Ideal for departments that need the capabilities of a pumper and an aerial in one apparatus, the SP 70 offers unmatched efficiency in a smaller, more flexible package. From tight urban environments to challenging residential scenes, it brings Sutphen’s hallmark durability and innovation to every call—making it a trusted tool for crews who demand more from every truck.
