Well I am glad every one like the new Ladder 51. There was a lot of thought put in to the specs by good group of guys. It took almost 5 years of hard work and looking at many types of ladders and many manufactures. But when it came down to final choice all the penciles pointed to Seagrave. The fact is when you have a ladder that has lasted 37 years your choice is made a little easier

Seth I am glad you had the time to take a ride around town and see first hand how it handles

Thank You.

Congrats Y-Town, the New 51-Truck looks awesome! I love the Seagrave lo-pro's, glad to see one up here!
