Lincolnshire New Man Appliance
One of the 33 New 57 Plate MAN TG-M 18.240 4X2 appliances with Zeigler bodywork. The engine is a MAN Euro 4, 176Kw (240bhp) 6 cylinder with EGR and auxiliary engine brake. The gearing is a MAN ‘Tip-Matic’ 12-speed automated transmission and its pump is a Rear-mounted Ziegler FPN2000/10HH, fire pump compliant with EN1028, mechanically driven from the PTO and rated to deliver 2000 litres per minute at 10 bars when operating through a 3.0m suction lift.
The above appliance BV57GOJ is a WrL based at Waddington retained station. The difference between the WrL and the WrL/R is that in the water ladder there is only a set of basic spreaders in a locker which is half empty where as the WrL/R has rams and more powerfull spreaders in the same locker. This allows the extra equipment to be able to be slotted in without having to re-arrange locker layouts. enabling a simple 5 minute swap to change from a WrL to a WrL/R.

Hello,
a nice picture of the WrL and its lockers. Could you specify what kind of spreaders is carried by the WrLs? Is it still the Hurst combi tool or a proper spreader and perhaps cutter? By the way the bodywork is by Ziegler not Zeigler, see the rear mudguard.
best wishes

It seems a bit daft to exclude heavy rescue gear from some appliances, when there is locker space for it. RTAs are an ever growing aspect of the job-why not have every pumper equipped for them?

these have now left Lincolnshire presumably at lease end and have started to appear in Ireland refurbished by HPMP e.g. Tipperary FRS. See
