Michael, thank you for your detailed reply. I assume it has a rear mounted pump? Do they have to remove the hose cart before operating the pump?

Added by Barry on 16 December 2008.

Barry, yes, it has a rear mounted pump and two carts on the backside. The second cart is a box, which contents road-safety-equipment. On the photo(it`s removed), you can see a few of it behind the police-car. For pump operating is it not necessary to remove the carts, because you can pivot them to the left and the right side and you`ll get a free way to the pump. Regards, Michael.

Doc Barry - have a look at Theo's picture 1007, rear view of Duisburg's WaterTender.

It shows both the Hose Reel Cart; and the Road Safety Equipment Cart; in place. Also has an impressive Traffic Control Lights array........

Thanks for a great On-Scene photo (in spite of being caught in the backed-up road-traffic, no doubt), and Michael's info.

Regards, from Canada,
