Its not good is it ? really, who on earth designed this body, the cab isn't overly pretty but functional but the squat body and the ladder rack look awfull, there has to be a better way!
GMF&RS have never had a good-looking pump on-the-run. Some of the most hideous-looking appliances ever have hailed from that brigade. Compared to some of their previous efforts this is a relative beauty.
They look just fine when a pair of them pull up outside your burning house and 9 of GMFRS's finest come and help you out!
The low build body is presumably to allow crews to reach the locker contents without stretching and the ladder gantry whilst admittedly not a pretty affair allows gravity to do its work removing the 13.5m without any unmecessary mechanisms.
