Fire Engines Photos

Very smart looking demonstrator. The booms look a strange colour, but as long as they work, that's all that matters.

Ian:

It is a baked-on powder coating, which is intended to be more durable than a painted finish. This is the Metz platform which is intended to compete with the similar dimension Bronto and Magirus platforms.

Similar to the coating on the lockers, which is also being bought by some German fire services on pumpers and other specials as well as platforms.

Platforms are slowly catching on in Germany, but a lot of fire companies are still buying ladder towers, especially the DLK 23/12 with an articulated top section.
