The horizontal stowage of the ground ladders means that the rear pump locker has additional capacity for equipment items, and that the water tank can be considerably larger than the typical UK 1800 liters. This pump may also have a European-style powered roof rack, to lower the ladders to chest height behind the truck. But the built-in rear access ladders suggest that the unshipping process may still be entirely manual.
