ZIEGLER delivers first tanker with the new ALPAS and new Z-Control

ZIEGLER has delivered the first tanker, a TLF 4000, with the new ALPAS superstructure and the new Z-Control.

 The Gangelt fire department is the first customer to receive a tanker with ALPAS and Z-Control of the latest generations.

ALPAS of the latest generation offers up to 30 % less weight compared to the previous superstructure as well as up to 10 % more space volume due to protected arrangement of the shutters on the roof. You can find more information about ALPAS of the latest generation here:https://www.ziegler.de/the-new-alpas.

The new Z-Control also offers exciting innovations: The user guidance is intuitive and self-explanatory, which makes the pump control even easier and usable for everyone. An assistance system for warnings and errors is also built in. More information about the new Z-Control can be found here:https://www.ziegler.de/the-new-z-control

The vehicle also has a 6,000 liter water tank, a 500 + 200 liter foam tank, an Alco APF 3-C electric roof turret with lift and operation via Z-Control as well as a ZIEGLER ZW 800 electric bumper turret, also operated via Z-Control and has a total weight of less than 18 tons.
