[MOC] Lego City Fire Ladder Unit 04

[ParmBrick]

Hy guys! Today I go out of my ordinary schemes and publish this creation in City Fire theme, I hope you like it!

This is the ladder 04 of the firefighters of the northeast Lego City district. is a model inspired by American fire trucks, in this case it is a TMC (Technic Motor Company) model "Kraken" Mk. IV. In spite of the previous models, almost every aspect of the truck has been improved. It is now able to carry a greater load (improved suspension and chassis), a larger team (passenger compartment made larger and more functional), and to move faster (new supercharged engine). The functions have remained identical from the previous model. The cockpit has on-board computer with GPS and radio, compartments for storing tools of immediate necessity, and 5 seats. The main functions of this model include 3 extendable fire hoses (one on one side, one on the back, one on the roof), with the possibility of extension from the control panel. The control panel is bilateral, and has three inlets for water from the hydrants (one on each side plus one on the front), and three outputs for the hoses (one on each side plus one on the front). It also has an outlet for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, necessary to power some work tools. The truck has a powerful directional lighting system. Finally, the main function is the ladder, which consists of 5 extendable segments for a maximum height of 60 meters, at the end of the ladder there is an articulated basket, which has a water cannon that can be connected to a hose. The firefighters team that works with this truck can count on a wide assortment of tools and equipment of various kinds: box for tools, accepts, wire cutters, a multi-purpose pneumatic tool (pliers, retractor, hammer, chainsaw), pickaxe and shovel, fire extinguishers, medikit, torch, thermal binoculars, air cylinders and masks, warning cones, circular saw, crowbar, hose for attachment to hydrants, megaphone, life jackets, an additional ladder, and an emergency generator. All housed in 11 compartments across the truck.

One of the most realistic and detailed firetrucks I have seen!

I think it could do with bigger wheels though.

Pretty nice work! The cab roof definitely needs to be smoothed off though ;)  I also build a lot of LEGO fire apparatus, I've got 36 right now. Check out my website in my signature!

Thank you! I know, with larger wheels it would have been even more realistic, but I simply didn't have the necessary parts. This does not mean that it will remain as it is, indeed certainly, as soon as I can, I will modify it.

Thank you too!There is always room for improvement in everything, I am happy to accept your advice so that I can improve further! I will definitely take a look at your creations!

Whoa! That's flamin'. Love what you did with the cab by making enough room for the entire squad.

Thank you too! It was quite intricate to succeed in this endeavor, fortunately the proportion I adopted (width of 8 stud) allowed me to concentrate only on the verticality of the cabin, rather than also on how to organize the space horizontally. I looked for the best pieces I had to get as much space as possible, and finding a red 1x6x3 windscreen was decisive!
