Two new LF 10 with hydraulically lowerable lifting device

The two departments Massenbach and Stetten of the Schwaigern fire department are happy to receive one new ZIEGLER firefighting vehicle (LF 10) each.

In addition to the typical ZIEGLER specific features, the two identical vehicles are also equipped with a hydraulically lowerable lifting device on the roof.

Getting on the vehicle roof to remove loading parts is always associated with a danger - especially during an operation. The upcoming standardization therefore recommends removal aids, some of which are already standard internationally.
