Country Fire Service / Re: New 34P

From a looks point of view the new 34p is a far cry from the old Hino days.There are some great ideas on this vehicle.On the down side the vehicle has not a very good turning circle,is manufactured with sharp edges on floor decks,cheap zinc bolts that will rust in a couple of years,lacks real pumping capabilities,has cheap heavy hose on it with wayjacks couplings that keep getting caught in the rollers causing the hose reel chain to come off.We had to move the BA sets in 70mm as they catch on the roller shutter tracks.with that too there is no support under the locker 3mm floor bolting the BA holders down.I dont like how the standpipe is placed under the cab,there is no room for a water trolley to be put anywhere easy to get off.its all money i guess.
