new lightbars and back to aluminum rims too.....The Ferrara ladders were painted wheels....

Yep! Several changes on these, to me the most noticable from previous trucks is definitely the wheels and grille, and no chrome trim around the headlights.



I definitely like the looks of the new rigs, glad they're Seagraves!



Is the city still making manufacturers cover up all of the identifiable logos?



Trav!

This, my friend is an AWESOME shot. Even more amazing is that it is 65 miles away. And taken by a cop... LOLOL.



Stay safe, Brothers.

How close are they to that car behind them??


F.D.N.Y. - senatobiafire704 - 09-16-2012

Is it just me or do the changes to the Seagrave cab look an awful lot like the new Ferrara cabs?


F.D.N.Y. - hp1530 - 09-16-2012

I have notice that some of the Tower Ladders and HazMat 1 have the Federal Signal Viewpoint lightbars, did the dept switch to these or are they testing them?



Also has anyone has pics of the new Ferrara MIRT truck?


F.D.N.Y. - Guest - 09-16-2012

The aluminum wheels seem to be exclusive to the new 95 footers (and yes, that's probably the last time you'll see them that shiny). The 75 footers have red steel just like all the other rigs.


F.D.N.Y. - goon16 - 09-16-2012

Its because the rigs are heavier and the aluminum are stronger wheels and lighter


F.D.N.Y. - RagsCo4 - 09-17-2012

I think the reason they look so similar is cause FDNY tends to have a lot of custom features that make them look very similar to each other. Where as anyone elses rigs would look like the norm for what ever manufacturer they choose. Also I not sure on the grills, but since all this new emission stuff, and these high horsepower motors, I would venture to say that the way that the grills look has something to do with that. Not entirely sure on that though.

I would bet that the city did not want the standard plastic grill bezel on the rigs and specified an all stainless steel grill. 100% pure speculation.

I've seen pictures, can't remember where. I would have guess it was on this site but I'm clueless.


F.D.N.Y. - CCusson15 - 09-20-2012

Does anyone have an interior shot of HazMat 1? Just curious how the inside is laid out


F.D.N.Y. - jquest6368 - 09-20-2012

On the topic of wheels again for a sec., saw 87's new 2012 Seagrave 75' tower at the dealer in Jersey yesterday...nice shiny aluminum wheels, just like the 95' towers!

There is a photo in the September/October issue of Fire Apparatus Journal with a blurb about the truck in the FDNY Update. Basically a single axle 4WD Freightliner M2 with a similar body style as the TAC units. Respons from Marine 6 from the Brooklyn Navy Yard with staffing from the Marine Bureau.

Is this it? Looks like it rides really low in the rear...



Trav!

It was on display at FRI a year or two ago, and I seem to remember taking a couple of photos of the interior. I'll check my other computer on Sunday and post them if I do.

Actually Ferrara copied the Seagarve M II cab.
