These seem on the face of it to have been ideally suited to address fires in Paris ancient courtyard buildings, and it is an interesting question why they were not replaced by similarly designed units when their original service life was completed I know the BSPP adopted lightweight 15 metre extension ladders on pumpers to replace the wheeled 18 meter Gugumus ladders, which were once very common, but many of these old courtyard buildings are well over 15 meters and would perhaps justify the continued use of similarly maneuverable compact aerial ladders?
