Specifications MAN 19.304 Fire Truck 1974 blueprint

The MAN 19.304 Fire Truck 1974 is a formidable force of fire fighting technology. This truck was the go-to piece of equipment for many German and European fire departments throughout the 1970s and beyond. It is an all-purpose model with a sturdy chassis and noble profile. The MAN 19.304 is built to a hefty 33,000 kg, powered by a four- stroke, 10-cylinder in-line MAN diesel D 2866 LF 39 engine. This twelve liter, 696 horsepower engine has the power needed for fast and efficient responding to fire calls. It is paired with the ZF 6BN 90 gearbox, which allows the truck to handle the demanding terrain encountered as it races against time. Taking such a powerful engine and attaching it to a heavy-duty vehicle with a 16,000- hydraulic system results in an impressive performance. The MAN 19.304 features a 32-meter vertical platform ladder and a separate, independent hydraulically extendable turntable ladder. This allows fire fighters to go above and beyond their normal emergency response capabilities. The ladder extends up to a record-breaking 42 meters in length, giving the team greater access to areas that are not easily accessible with traditional ladders. This makes the department more efficient and better prepared to respond to a variety of emergencies, both indoors and out. This fire truck also comes with the option of installing a top monitor, along with a pressurized water cooling system for on-site refueling. It also has an array of options for on-site storage, an invaluable feature not only for fire fighters, but for administrators as well. The MAN 19.304 Fire Truck 1974 is the perfect combination of power and efficiency, which makes it one of the most sought-after fire truck models for departments looking for an all-around emergency response vehicle.
