Six new ZIEGLER HLF 20 all at once
The Göttingen Fire Department is expanding its fleet with ZIEGLER vehicles
ZIEGLER has delivered six new HLF 20 firefighting vehicles to the Göttingen Professional and Volunteer Fire Departments. By procuring these identical firefighting vehicles, the city of Göttingen is sending a clear signal of its commitment to the ongoing modernization of its firefighting equipment.
The new vehicles will form an important part of the emergency fleet in the future and are designed for a variety of operational scenarios. Whether for firefighting or technical rescue – the new ZIEGLER HLF 20 combine powerful firefighting technology with comprehensive equipment tailored precisely for this purpose.
The HLF 20 are built on a MAN TGM 13.320 4×4 BL chassis with 235 kW (320 HP) engine power and a wheelbase of 3,950 mm. The superstructure is based on the latest-generation of ALPAS and is controlled via the Z-Control operating concept.
The crew is accommodated in the ZIEGLER Z-Cab with a group crew (1+7), which is easily accessible via a three-step entry system. The built-in ZIEGLER FPN Z-Pump 10-2000-1H is complemented by a water tank with a capacity of 1,600 liters. In addition, a 120-liter foam tank is available. This ensures that the vehicles are ideally equipped for both conventional firefighting operations and other operations involving foam.
Numerous practical solutions have also been integrated for day-to-day operations – including a swivel wall in the equipment compartment, a PUSH hygiene board, a roof box, an Action Tower, and a 230-volt cable reel with 40 meters of cable. Digital components also play a role: The Z-Connect digital operational management system allows for the efficient management of vehicle and incident data.
“Implementing six identical HLF 20 in a single project is something special for us as well,” says Markus Kulick, Area Sales Manager at ZIEGLER. “We are very pleased to be able to support the fire departments in Göttingen in the further development of their vehicle fleet.”
With the commissioning of the new vehicles, the city of Göttingen is sustainably strengthening its operational readiness while simultaneously creating modern and future-proof working conditions for its emergency personnel.
