TLF
Tanker
Limited or no availability of firefighting water can occur anywhere – whether in rural areas or on highways and interstates, in large industrial plants or in old town areas. To ensure that such an emergency does not become a problem, tankers are needed that can reliably and safely navigate off-road terrain.
ZIEGLER tanker are available both as standard models and to individual specifications. We offer a range of vehicles from standard tanker to the TLF 4000, which can be built on all common chassis. Whether road chassis or all-wheel drive, crew or relay cab – anything is possible.

For efficient use of water or foam
Limited or no availability of water for firefighting can happen anywhere – whether in rural areas or on highways and interstates, in large industrial plants or in old town districts. To ensure that such situations do not become problematic, tankers are needed that can reliably and safely navigate off-road terrain.
Operating profile
The TLF is designed for water-intensive operations and provides particular support to municipal firefighting services in the event of outdoor and vegetation fires, fires requiring large amounts of water and in areas with limited water supplies. It is used to quickly provide large quantities of water for firefighting, to ensure the supply of water for initial and follow-up attacks and to support other emergency vehicles and neighboring fire departments. Depending on the model, the TLF is also suitable for storm operations, simple technical assistance and special situations.
Crew and ergonomics
The crew benefits from a clearly laid out cab with short distances and a clear layout. Seats, holders and communication devices are arranged in such a way that equipment can be prepared and coordination can take place efficiently even during the journey. Large, non-slip footrests, ergonomic handles and illuminated storage compartments speed up access to equipment – even in the dark and in bad weather.
Structure and storage space
The design is geared towards robust everyday usability: structured equipment compartments with a clear system, space for firefighting and rescue equipment and mounts for common add-on modules (e.g., power generators, lighting, rescue timber, door opening and barrier equipment). The flexible shelving design allows for later adjustments without disrupting the basic logic.
Extinguishing technology
With up to 5,000 liters of water and 500 liters of foam concentrate, the tankers have sufficient quantities for an effective initial attack, which can be carried out using both rapid intervention equipment and a roof monitor. Additional extinguishing agents such as powder or CO2 are also available.
Safety and visibility
Uniform ambient and equipment compartment lighting, distinctive warning markings and an optional light mast enhance visibility and tactical overview. Inside, restraint systems, secure equipment fastenings and clear weight distribution ensure a smooth, controlled ride – even under full load.
Operation and training
Intuitive controls, clear pictograms and consistent logic shorten training time. This reduces sources of error during operation and facilitates cooperation across fire departments. Digital support (e.g., checklists, vehicle diagnostics) and interfaces for existing systems are available on request.
