Nacka Fire Departments new Aerial Ladder Platform
Just found out that the correct word is Aerial Ladder Platform...
Well, as you can see in the gallery Nacka Fire Department just got their new vehicle. A Scania P380DB 6x2*4 MLA with a yellow Bronto Skylift F37RLX. This is a very odd "thing" because: It is yellow. It is 37m. Normally they are white and 30-32m Another odd thing is that it isn't a CrewCab, but thats probably because it's impossible to fit a 37m Bronto on a CrewCab body...

the *4 means that there are 4 steering on four wheels, the front and the rear axle.
(http://www.scania.com/news/Events/ar...ress_13534.asp) Yes, thats true. And this gris speaks french on double speed The old Scania is probably going to be sold. Don't think anyone will scrap a turntable ladder from 1996. Always some small station somewhere that need a new ladder to replace their old 1970-ladder or something |

Well I didn't know that the first time I saw it two years ago.
And then I found it on Scanias homepage. Many 6-wheeled fire vehicles has steering on the rear axle. Much easier to corner. There are buses with steering on the rear axle to. Drove one of those last summer when I was applying for a job at Westin bus (they wanted more experienced drivers though). Lidingö Depot only has 4-wheeled buses (and one articulated). |

The articulated buses in Nacka (Volvo) have steering on the rear axles too. So first time I saw that must have been as a young boy in the early 90's. |
