Norristown Municipal Council approved on April 18, 2023 the purchase of a new 100-foot tiller ladder truck for the Norristown Fire Department through Glick Fire Equipment. This $2.015 million investment will replace an almost 30-year-old, E-ONE ladder truck currently part of the NFD apparatus fleet (Ladder 27). The tiller will replace the E-ONE upon delivery.
This demonstration video shows the maneuverability of the tiller ladder truck compared to the current E-ONE. The video was shot using a drone and was recorded on the grounds of the Norristown State Hospital, at the intersection of Jacoby and Smith streets, the intersection of Green and Minor streets and East Oak and Arch streets.
Thank you to the Gladwyne Fire Department in Lower Merion for lending us their 100-foot KME Predator TDA ladder truck for this demonstration.

It was an INTENTIONAL job of NOT making it around the 1st time. Just to sell the 100 footer idea. But then again. We're all supposed to be Dumb.
MY BADGE in IAFF 2335. Drove every truck back then except 27-6 Rescue. THE TILLER IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.
