New 34P
« on: April 21, 2005, 07:40:21 PM »
If you haven't found it yet there are plans for the New 34P in the upcoming Volunteer Mag which can be downloaded on the CFS website, homepage (long PDF download of 80 pages plus):

http://www.cfs.org.au

similar appliance already used in WA by fesa:

http://167.30.74.10/?MenuID=101&ContentID=259

and also produced by SEM:

http://www.skilledequipment.com.au/vehicle_details.php?vehicle_id=2050

I believe that instead of the HM500 Darley pump the 34P will have a HE500 Darley which will be run from a 4cyl turbo ?Hatz motor (that will be loud I'm sure). If Burnside agree to it then they will apparently get a prototype with the HM500 pump which is PTO driven. I think HM pumps are 2 stage pumps.

They look like a bit of a development on the current 24P, but still something that I wouldn't want to swap current Pumper for (and I don't like the Pumper that much!)

34p
« Reply #1 on: April 21, 2005, 08:51:27 PM »
Does not look to bad,but from what I can see it is the same as the CFA pumper tanker? I am going over to Vic next week to have a look at the new tankers and pumpers that will be in region 4 so I hope to get some pictures and see what they are like to drive.

I am not sure if a 34p is really any good for urban areas so why waste money  on it? We all know that all urban brigades need a pumper but someone up that ladder still is not 100% sure on them. I could name few brigades that should have pumpers but then I may get my BUTT kicked from those at the top...

ITs just a bushfire truck with a bit bigger pump, are you sure it was a 2 stage, that would be a new thing for CFS!!! (that was not built by volunteers)

I must say the NSWFB type 2 pumper is pretty filtered nice and would not mind one, but the traditional way of using pumpers for offroad work would have to go out the window, but people will have to get over it!!

Saw some footage of the new 34P whilst the Region 2 rollout is waiting for delivery at NE Isuzu. Looks to be the most professional CFS mass produced appliance build up yet. I'll be interested to hear the problems that are sure to come.

I know they going to have to do a fair bit of modification to Belair Station to fit it in! Have to raise door and flashing (with structural beams) by at least 200mm!

I think alot of stations will find they need alterations made to fit in the later model appliances.

Or rotate some of the older 24P's from busier brigades that are not as high

Right on 3400mm, doesn't sound that much, but when your sitting in them it's tall, adn takes a bit to climb into!

they have also been included in the gallery.

love the pic of Norton Summit 34P (didnt know they were due for one, but excellent for them)... anyway the picture of it makes it look as though it has some kind of aerial platform attached to the roof...

Does anyone know who else may be getting one? I heard Burnside may be getting the PTO version as a trial. >

No, I think Dalkeith are getting that.  Burnside are getting a run of the mill 34 I believe.

Sorry about the size of the images, was trying to fit a few in as the Gallery size for upload is a bit small! There's some bigger files here now!
