The body on a MAN TGS 41.480 8x4 BB chassis with a fully automatic Allison torque converter is equipped with a 9,500 l water tank, a 4,500 l foam tank and a 500 kg powder extinguishing system.
The equipment compartment in the rear features a gate with an integrated roll-up door and houses the 8.000 l/min installation pump with integrated low-pressure foam addition system and the pump control panel. A 320 l gear pump with hydraulic drive and a 30 l piston pump with electric drive are installed here. Each output can be selected individually – water and water / foam can be run in parallel. Pump & roll operation is also possible. The vehicle is equipped with two A outputs and six B outputs, as well as three A inputs and 6 B inputs and two B filling lines. A 2.500 l/min monitor is installed on the vehicle front.
The roof features the rotating, slewing light mast for near and far field, a 360° bird’s eye view camera, two hose storage boxes for 80 m B hose and 60 m A hose, which are positioned on two electric lowering units, as well as the 25 m aluminium SCORPIO extinguishing arm with a 4.000 l/min cannon. The extinguishing arm can be rotated through 360° and is supported within the contour markings of the vehicle during operation. An additional B output, a wind measuring device as well as a video and thermal imaging camera system are located at the top of the mast.
A special highlight is that all devices and other loaded equipment are equipped with an RFID system. This means that a tablet mounted in the cab can be used to document and check all fire fighting equipment and to monitor the maintenance intervals. Other smart solutions such as smoke detectors in the equipment compartments, extending barrier tapes and an overpressure rescue device for the machinist were also integrated.
