The NEW Ferrara Ultra Chassis

[sfrd18 360]

Apparently, Ferrara Fire Apparatus is calling their latest chassis the new chassis design for the new FDNY rescues and rear-mounts, the "Ultra". The original Ultra chassis by Ferrara was a series of demo engines that went to the FDNY, the FDMV(Mt. Vernon, NY FD), and the Pelham, NY FD.

Here's the new Ultra Chassis page on Ferrara, showing the new FDNY chassis design:

Here's the original Ultra Chassis for Pelham Engine 5. I think it was also FDNY Squad 55 from Third Watch, but I'm not sure:

Here's one of the twin original Ultra's on Mt. Vernon Engine's 3(203) and 4(204):

That's correct. It was used in the last season of Third Watch.

I think the new Ultra chassis looks like a Spartan chassis that Ferrara modified and stamped their logo across it.
