Aluminum Technology (AT) / The new AT
Crew cab
LED technology
The Aluminium Technology (AT) is used as AT 1 since 1994 use in municipal water tender and delete's group vehicles. The crew cabin is firmly integrated in the body. The entry into the crew cabin is via automatic revolving stairs or electrically / mechanically folded down stairs. In addition, with rear mounting Pump N (H ) 30 controlled by a CAN bus monitor control. The extinguishing agent tank can be ordered from 1200-4000 liters of water and 100-400 l foaming agent. The vehicles with AT- building are made of self-supporting, laser cut and folded aluminum clamping components with FRP design parts. Since 2002, this vehicle technology is sold in the first stage of evolution AT 2.
In 2010, the AT- building has been completely redesigned and 3 ( The New AT) presented as AT at Interschutz Fair in Leipzig. The series covers vehicles between 10 t and 20 t zGM from.
