Mike,
These airport fire trucks weight 100,000 plus carry five man crew and truly need all to handle Boeing 747, 777 aircraft engine or plane fire, stay out of there way.

On coil springs....notice the inboard disc brakes!!!

Where’s the spear?

What is it? AM General? Are those juice brakes? I don’t see a chamber. I do see a lot of dry joints though!

Probably air over hydraulic....I’ll look closer if it’s still at work come Thursday. Built in 1995 and rehabbed in 2008...

How’s about having to buy these tires???

 

[TFucili]

They misspelled "Products" on the MFR tag???

It looks like a short framed, Oshkosh HEMTT with a different cab... I guess the tag was made in China, but I surely hope this truck wasn't shipped there, so they could install it and ship back to the states!!

Any chance there is an 8V-92 Detroit powering it??
