De Soto, KS
Smeal 100' Mid Mount Platform
It was a big day with Northwest Consolidated Fire District as we completed final inspection and the first fly of their new 2025 Smeal 100' Mid Mount Platform—Truck 13!
This aerial will support protection efforts for the new $4B, 5.5M sq. ft. Panasonic EV Battery Factory in De Soto, KS. We’re proud to support their team from dealer upfit to delivery, training, and long-term service!
Their new pumper features:
- Spartan Gladiator LFD Cab
- 565hp Cummins X15 Engine
- 2250 GPM Waterous Pump
- Independent front + air ride suspension
- 350-Gallon Water Tank
- And more!
Smeal pioneered many aerial manufacturing standards, including the first stainless-steel waterway—still backed by a 10-year warranty. Our high-tensile steel ladders deliver industry-leading strength, supporting up to 1,000 lbs on platforms and 750 lbs at the tip (wet or dry) on straight sticks.
