      @Mr Jerry 1 or 2 people can drive the truck you can lock the rear axle and drive it like a regular truck trailer the rear steering is so you can maneuver in tight spaces and position the truck in industrial areas.

    When I was a tillerman starting in the late 70s, we sat in the aerial, not behind it. The seat, windshield and steering wheel had to be cleared before you could stick the roof. When backing up I would turn to look over my right shoulder and steer with my left hand rarely switching hands. Better view in the aerial than the box. The box is nice because it keeps you dry and warm. Tillering is by far the most fun you can have driving apparatus.

    I was a Captain on a tiller truck in the SF Bay Area. They are the best. I rode up front in the tractor as Captain but sometimes I’d ask my firefighter if I could trade spots and steer the rear end. Of course he/she would say yes. It is the best job in the fire department. Everyone is looking at you, kids and adults waving. You really can’t see much in the lane next to you on both sides and you follow the tractor so you don’t get a little sideways and smack into a car next to you. This big long truck will go in places we can barely get the standard engine company into. Being retired after 30 years I miss the hell out of it. Real fire departments have tiller truck companies! Seriously each department can use what they like but I’m a true supporter of tillers.

    There is NO room for error when they are going super fast to a fire !! This guy almost messed up at 15:24 .

Your concept of auto steering ie: tillering is a very unreliable concept.I had done some looking into it and nothing you wrote on the so called virtues of it is valid.You seem to be the type that invested money or stock into some company that wants to sell the auto tillering and are on here trying to push it....sit down, recover your money and don't try to fix something that does not need fixing.

      @@stevenkelly9731 I'm just a paramedic, so it's none of my business to try to sell automatic or, now getting populat, adaptive rear-wheel steering. It's around for so many years already, successfully. It doesn't need to be pushed, departments purchase it in great numbers ... tbh it's almost a standard on modern fire trucks. Down here in the south several departments purchased the identical rear-mount 105' Tower Ladder with all-wheel steering. Some departments also get Engines (to be correct: Rescue Engines) with all-wheel steering. And well automatic rear-wheel steering indeed is a standard on modern fire trucks with 3 or more axles. I know some few which don't have it, but that's really really rare here.
      Even the largest fire trucks here don't have a 2nd driver steering the rear. No matter if it's a gigantic Tanker or a massive Aerial
      I don't know if it's cost effective to pay several crew members 24-7 over years vs. purchasing a simple standard system once and maintaining it.

      WolfFace the fire brigade could order one but the shipping costs would be astronomical. A department I visited had a European telescoping ladder truck made custom for them. The price tag was $1.2 million (USD) and added costs of $3.4 million (USD) in shipping and insurance. There is only one ship at the time that could accommodate the shipping. They waited 2 and a half years form it to arrive from start to finish. Was in service for 4 years before they retired it due to maintenance costs. Broke an axle and it would be 6-8 months for large parts.

      Although tillermen aren't supposed to have the door open during a response because of safety concerns, in most departments you will usually see the operator with the door open. The FDNY tillers most of the time do it because it gives more air flow and it gives the operator more arm room because the cab is pretty claustrophobic although there's 360° view windows.

      Yes the yellow blinkers up in the control panel are turning indicators to let the tillermen know what way they are going to turn if the operator didn't hear the direction from the front cabin, the tillermen usually wear headsets so the two operators can constantly communicate with each other so the tillerman knows what they have to do minute by minute while driving.

      @@RandyCarpadus We see it working at the fire department in my country every day, actually, it works really well in the same way the trailers of trucks can have automatic rear-wheel steering that corresponds with what the driver of the vehicle does (and in trucks with a trailer that supports it, it usually is a set of wheels they can lower when entering a neighbourhood with smaller roads that would make taking a turn difficult, the wheels turn the "wrong" way as opposoed to the wheels of the truck).

    So you turn the back wheels in the opposite direction of the way you wanna turn? Do the back wheels turn when you steer? Does it have power steering?

    • @parishilton11
      @parishilton11 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes you have power steering. If the front, the tractor it’s called is turning right the tiller man turns his wheels left to keep the trailer wheels in the center of the lane then as the end gets right to the intersection you turn hard and fast right. The tractor driver( the front) can drive like he is in a sports car and that makes the tiller man have to work that steering wheel or the tractor driver can make more L shaped turns and the tiller man doesn’t have to do much work.
