Frankfurt Fire Department receives ZIEGLER vehicles
The Frankfurt Fire Department has taken delivery of three identical LF 10 firefighting vehicles from Albert Ziegler GmbH.
Albert Ziegler GmbH (ZIEGLER) confirmed the vehicles were procured through the 12th state procurement initiative by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior, Security and Homeland Security.
The units will support volunteer fire departments in the districts of Heddernheim, Rödelheim and Sachsenhausen.
Each vehicle features a 1,200-litre water tank equipped with integrated drinking water protection.
The system utilizes a ZIEGLER Z-Pump 10-2000-1H with Trokomat venting to provide a reliable water supply for emergency responders.
A MAN TGM 13.290 4×4 BL chassis provides the base for the vehicles with an engine power of 213 kW.
Technical specifications of the ALPAS superstructure
The vehicle superstructure uses the latest-generation ALPAS system to house equipment and components.
Operational control is managed through the Z-Control concept which is designed for intuitive use.
The Z-Cab accommodates a crew of nine personnel and includes a three-step entry for ergonomic access.
External visibility is provided by Z-Vision LED perimeter lighting and a pneumatic light mast with eight LED spotlights.
Safety features include a rear warning system with four LED lights and maneuvering lights mounted on the exterior mirrors.
Modern assistance systems such as a turn-assist feature are integrated into the security concept.
Equipment for difficult operational conditions
The vehicles include a self-protection system with eight ground spray nozzles and heat protection for use in demanding environments.
Additional practical solutions include the hygiene panel PUSH and a sliding ladder for crew use.
Standardized pump control panels and a “Pump and Roll” function support responders in diverse situations.
The commissioning of these vehicles represents a targeted investment in future-proof equipment for the city.
This delivery aims to ensure the Frankfurt Fire Department can continue to provide rapid and reliable assistance across its districts.
