This is a very handsome machine. The MAN TGA is proving very popular with UK Brigades following the roll-out of the New Dimensions machines that use the chassis. Lincolnshire, a long-time fan of Volvos, have on-order approximately forty pumping appliances on the MAN TGA chassis in conjunction with Ziegler. Great! Because in my opinion, the more Volvo FLs we get rid of, the better.

Has it got any roof lights? Seems to just be LEDs on the grill and in the footwells. I cant make out if thats LED lights on the sun visor just under the ladder. Would be interesting to see them lit if that is the case. Thanks.

Correction: Lincolnshire's new pumps are on the MAN TGM chassis.

Why has this hydraulic platform not got a blue flashing light on top of the appliance?

If you look closely to the windscreen there are several LED lights.......

Nice picture. What is the maximum height and how many crew can it acomadate?

Why are so many "trucks" or tl bought in Europe and Asia that only carry 2 or 3 crew members? This seems like a waste to buy a vehicle that only seats 2-3 when you clearly need more than this to operate and properly staff this vehicle? I also see this alot in many of the fire engines in Asia? Any ideas?
Thanks, Todd

Todd, excellent observations, but you have to remember you're not living back in the sixties like me with crews of four or more on TL's (TTL's nz), today you are lucky to have two!

The UK's aerial appliances are normally crewed by only two people, yet these new ALPs can be amply operated by a single crew member on the demonstration ground, although unlikely at an incident.

In Croatia more than 90% of all TL and ALP are single crew truck, for 2 or 3 firefighters. The main reason is that TL or ALP is always followed by water WRL or WRT, with crew of 4 or 5.

These multipurpose appliences are in my opinion solution for fire brigades with less funds on their accounts, I know there is one truck like in picture 5264 in JVP Knin. Anyway good point Brq
