Crimson's New "Boomer"

[x635 4,066]

I haven't heard a lot of buzz about any of the apparatus products introduced at FDIC this year. I've seen the threads about the Pierce PUC, the E-One Quest, and now this.

Crimson's "Booomer"

Kind of like a modern day telesquirt. Wonder if any department will actually pick up on this?

mmmmm, very interesting. I'm sure someone will pick it up, although maybe less likely in this area because it's not traditional I think Crimson's customer base is mainly out in the South. They do seem to be more innovative and open to new ideas than some of the other equipment manufacturers.

I wonder how much cost it adds to the truck? A 28' master stream certainly doesn't replace a 60 or 75 foot master stream. However the addition of a light tower is nice. Makes sense to add the discharges and air/hydraulic connections, but again I'm not sure how much more useful the 28' makes. I could see the anchor point being useful in certain circumstances, although I wonder what leverage a 1000 lbs at 28' (horizontally) does to the truck? I don't see any stabilizers on there.

I could see it for some practical applications here. Smaller communities that don't necessarily need a 50 foot or longer aerial device. It could be useful in some places. Interesting concept.
