Charleston, this is the rig that was only a few months old, that was totaled out in the flood that they had a year or two ago. This was replaced by a 100' Pierce Arrow XT demo RML, White over Red.
Trav!

I photographed it less than a year ago and the Dept planned to sell with several issues it had . . It was replaced by a Pierce Tiller that previously served before it . Alexandria also was to sell a American LaFrance Midmount Tower that was in storage which was reassigned back to frontline and painted black over red .

Alexandria just recently ordered two Seagrave tillers. I would assume they will replace the 2013 Spartan ERV tower, 2004 ALF tower, and the 2009 Pierce tiller at 8. Keeping the 2012 Spartan tiller frontline with the two Seagraves and the 2009 Pierce tiller will be the reserve. Any idea what kind of issues they are having with it?

What is wrong with the 2013 Spartan ERV?

That's what I was told but things change .
