Product Description
FOR SALE: 2005 SUTPHEN CUSTOM 70' MINI TOWER – QUINT FIRE APPARATUS WITH AERIAL PLATFORM
The 2005 Sutphen Custom 70' Mini Tower is a specialized quint fire apparatus designed to combine aerial access, fire suppression, water supply, hose deployment, and ground ladder capability into a compact and highly versatile emergency response platform. This configuration makes it particularly well suited for municipal fire departments, industrial facilities, airports, emergency-response organizations, and departments looking for a multi-purpose apparatus capable of performing several critical functions from a single vehicle.
The Sutphen SP70 aerial system features a 70-foot rated vertical height and 63-foot rated horizontal reach, providing substantial access for elevated firefighting and rescue operations. The aerial platform is rated for 750 lbs, allowing personnel and equipment to be positioned at height, while hydraulic outriggers provide stabilization during aerial operations. The unit shows only 2,482 aerial hours, an important consideration when evaluating the operating history of the aerial system.
As a quint apparatus, the truck combines its aerial platform with an onboard Hale water pump, water tank, fire hose equipment, and ground ladders. Four discharge valves provide multiple options for deploying water during fire suppression operations, while the included hoses and accessories add to the truck's overall functionality as a complete emergency-response platform.
The apparatus is built on a heavy-duty Sutphen custom crew-cab chassis, providing dedicated seating space for a fire crew while maintaining the specialized layout required for aerial and pumping operations. Air-ride suspension contributes to improved road manners, while the aluminum construction helps balance durability with the considerable equipment carried by the apparatus.
Powered by the highly regarded Detroit Series 60 diesel engine and paired with an Allison automatic transmission, this Sutphen offers a proven heavy-duty drivetrain. A Jake Brake provides additional braking assistance during highway operation and when descending grades. With its combination of aerial capability, pumping equipment, crew accommodations, and integrated firefighting systems, this Mini Tower offers a versatile platform for continued emergency-response, industrial, municipal, or specialized fire-service use.
