A fire apparatus includes a chassis, a ladder assembly having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the chassis and a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a basket pivotably coupled to the distal end. The basket includes a subfloor assembly and a floor panel coupled to a top surface of the subfloor assembly and configured to support a user. The subfloor assembly includes a front member and a rear member each extending in a first direction, an inner member extending from the front member to the rear member, and an outer member having a first end portion coupled to the rear member and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. The front member and the rear member are offset a distance from one another in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The inner member extends substantially parallel to the outer member.
