ZIEGLER delivers six new TLF 4000 to the Westerwald district

On May 17th, 2023, ZIEGLER delivered a total of six TLF 4000 with ALPAS and Z-Control of the latest generation to the fire departments Bad Marienberg, Dernbach, Hachenburg, Herschbach, Langenhahn and Wallmerod in the Westerwald district.

The six identical vehicles are built on a MAN TGM 18.320 chassis. Thanks to single tires and a wading capacity of up to 800 mm, the vehicles can also be used to fight forest fires and in flood situations. The 4,000 l of extinguishing water and the additional 500 l of foam agent mean that fire departments are now ideally equipped for efficient firefighting.

The vehicles are particularly maneuverable due to the short wheelbase of only 3,600 mm. In addition, the ALPAS superstructure allows a favorable extraction height of the extensive load.
The vehicles are controlled and operated by the latest generation of the proven Z-Control operating concept. The entire operation of the vehicles is user-guided, simple and self-explanatory.

detailed technical description of the vehicles can be found in the official press release.
