What ever happened to Hey Probie get your *** up on that F...ing Truck and load the the F...ing hose! Oh wait we can't say that anymore. Some one might get there feelings hurt!
In looking again I noticed the LDH is loaded on opposite sides of the hose bed with a length of hose crossing over from one side to the other. It looks like 2-1/2" or 3" in between the two LDH bays.
Is there some reason I haven't heard of to split the lay like this? I'd be inclined to put LDH on one side, smaller hose on the other. What gives?
My guess is to keep the load balanced; easier on the hydraulics and lifting mechanism.

Yup, and the sides fold down, and those center sections of 2 1/2 can be slid out to load independantly as well. The idea is no one climbs anywhere on the truck.
A waste of space, weight, and money to me.

I've seen lots of sales promotion pictures of this "innovation" by Pierce. Does anyone know anyone that actually HAS one of these? Really would be curious to see how they actually work on a fireground, not a sales demo.
Awfully clean gear and hose in that picture...
