Tiller ladder trucks have metal ladders that can expand, like a telescope, to reach up in the air about 100 feet (ten stories high). The tiller ladder truck has two steering wheels and two drivers - one in the front and one in the back. The one in the back controls the rear wheels of the truck, and allows this very long truck to go around corners easily.
