Question about TWH TDA booms

Post by firebuff123 » Thu Apr 19, 2018 12:44 pm

Does anyone have experience with TWH TDA ladder booms? I am considering a purchase, but I wanted to know if the booms and actual ladders stand up after time. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Michael

I have three of them. One (Redwood City) the boom doesn't stay up very well so I just display it in the cradle. The other two (New London and Leesburg) have been displayed one with boom up and the other extended out for more than two years without them moving at all. I haven't touched them so I can't say if you keep moving their positions they will stand up but so far so good. They are all beautiful rigs BTW. Hope this helps.

The ones I have sit in there cradle. But, I feel like If I displayed them with the ladder up they would stay in position. They are very well build and the ladder has a tight feel to it which required a little force to move so be careful not to break them.

Leesburg is the best looking of them all if you can find one a reasonable price.

Michael,
Some of the trucks have had problems with ladders staying in upright position, as well as the sections coming down to far that has been documented on the old forum. Like the guys prior have said awesome looking models models. Reasonable price is a good recommendation.
