Magirus singe screw mechanical ladder, very similar to those imported into the UK in the 1930s and 1950s. In those days, French fire services routinely displayed whitewall tires on their vehicles, which were very uncommon on any other vehicles in France at that time. This practice died out in the 1970s.

This Berliet GL "flat nose" cab is the updated version of the earlier Berliet GL cab design, as shown in picture 42505 on this site. The styling switch from round to flat nosed cabs mirrored the same change made earlier by Magirus Deutz on their normal control chassis cab. Just like KHD, the rest of the Berliet cab behind the windscreen remained unchanged. Both produced two and four door cabs with seating for up to nine crew members.
