I,m looking for reasons to justify a 75 foot arial vs a 68 foot telasquirt. I,m going to have to have many good reasons. I need your help. Please give safety reasons and usability.
You can't use a telesqurt as a ladder. They are just not meant to be climbed on. It is an emergency absolute, no more. At least with a 75' Stick you can climb it. Also remember your set backs vs heights. Even if you only have 2 story dwellings throughout your local with no real elevated targets, you need to account for what your trying to reach, making the ridgeline with only using 60% @ 30 degrees or less of your aerial device unless its otherwise rated. Also take into account tip loads and what you really want the "stick" for. Even 75 get short quickly when your trying to reach something.
