Word is that the Tower Ladders saved the City of New York from burning down back in the very busy 70s/80s. And if you've never seen NYC with its narrow streets and double parked cars, its a pretty tight squeeze getting anything through there, let alone a tower ladder. But those guys can manuver those big rigs through tight streets, or bumper to bumper congested traffic. Then pile a few feet of snow on the streets and you won't believe your eyes how those guys get those big tower ladders through. Just like threading a needle.
