MISCELLANEOUS VEHICLES ~ 2

I am indebted to officials in Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service for giving permission for me to take photographs for this website of a Magirus Turntable Ladder that was demonstrated at the Service Training Centre in early July 2012.
This particular model is the M 32 L-AS and weighs in at around 15 tonnes.   I have tried to incorporate some of its many features into the pictures below, all of which were taken 4 July.
 
 

When used in a confined space, the jack will automatically stop before hitting the obstruction.

The ladder itself can be tilted safely for extra manoeuverability.

This is a 3 person cage with the monitor fitted.  The appliance could carry a 4 person cage.

A positive pressure fan can be fitted.

A stretcher table can also be fitted.

The appliance can be succesfully utilised on a slope and with limited room for the jacks.

In this case the jacks drop down vertically to the groumd.  Whatever positon the jacks are in, however, all 6 wheels remain on the ground at all times.

The ground level control panel.
