LADDER ASSEMBLY FOR A FIRE APPARATUS
A ladder assembly for a fire apparatus includes a base rail, a hand rail, a first lacing member, a second lacing member, and a gusset. The first lacing member and the second lacing member extend between the base rail and the hand rail. Both the first lacing member and the second lacing member engage the base rail at an interface. Each of the first lacing member and the second lacing member defines a slot along only a portion of a length thereof. Portions of the gusset are received by the slot of the first lacing member and the slot of the second lacing member. The gusset engages the base rail to reinforce the interface.
