Rosenbauer America, here's one question for you: Why does Rosenbauer have such a poor reputation, known as Rosenbroken for many fire-fighters. Many people are not happy with them. In contrast to that I don't hear that much negative arguments on apparatus made by other Rosenbauer divisions across the world. Apart from the AT3 generation which got popular for relatively many apparatus having quite some problems after a short time being in service (but still, it's sold in such great numbers that one can still say it's very very successful), other Rosenbauer apparatus don't even have problems in such great numbers as the AT3 has or had. No matter if we talk about Tower Ladders or Telescopic Platforms, Engines, Heavy Rescue Trucks, Tankers or any kind of special operations appartus Apart from that I'm still surprised by the layout of some American fire apparatus in general, with this Tiller giving a good example: enormous truck but still no platform; then the simple fan instead of an AC and last but not least: the need of a 2nd guy steering the rear, instead of automatic or manual rear-wheel steering as it's common and available for a long time already
@mikegaskin55424 жыл бұрын
You don't have any data with which to compare the reliability of Rosenbauer vs. other brands. All you have is a bunch of anecdotes. People will tell you that KME is junk, E-One is junk, even Pierce lately is junk. The only one of the US custom-chassis brands that never gets dismissed as junk is Seagrave, and then the complaint is that nobody can afford them. Until there is some hard data available for comparing reliability, I don't want to hear about it.
@EnjoyFirefighting4 жыл бұрын
@@mikegaskin5542I have some examples, but not precise numbers as they don't really exist, right? Small example from a city here: they had a 1985 Tanker in service until 2013; It then got replaced by a Rosenbauer AT3 Tanker ... from 2013 to 2016 there were 4 different Tankers in service as some lasted less than a year although running only few calls as it's not a 1st due apparatus. Bad luck? Maybe. I moved to another city, and they replaced their old Rescue Engines by new ones: both AT3 Rescue Engines were back in the repair shop before even being in service. I heard of problems of that extent only from that model, not from other Rosenbauer apparatus, but it seems like also the AT3 got better by now. When scrolling through facebook groups and youtube comments I hardly see someone complaining about e.g. Pierce, E-One or any other American manufacturer, but almost all comments concerning Rosenbauer apparatus are somehow negative ... I have never seen an American Rosenbauer truck by myself, but that opinion must be based on some (negative) experiences, right? Serious question: how do you measure the reliability? Do you look at total numbers or put them in ratio, do you measure driven distance, number of calls, time spent on scene, time of actual on-scene activity like pumping / operating tools / ladder etc, do you rate both the chassis and manufacturer's body system together or only the body system, time until sth needs maintenance and repair, ...? There are so many factors and some of them can't be compared at all. Biggest issues I see when comparing different brands: some bring out an entire truck, some are built on a commercial chassis. Can hardly compare e.g. a Pierce on a Pierce chassis with e.g. a Rosenbauer, which might be on a Mercedes-Benz, MAN etc chassis. Same goes for Aerials...
@mikegaskin55424 жыл бұрын
@@EnjoyFirefighting If you watch a lot of Rosenbauer videos, you will hear a lot of Rosenbauer complaints. But if you lurk on forums and other places where American FFs spend their time, you will hear plenty of complaints about the other brands too. We can easily measure availability as a proxy for reliability. We do this by calculating how many hours per year the truck should be available for calls (all hours in the year - time spent on foreseeable scheduled maintenance during the year). Then we compare that to the actual number of hours the truck was available. Fire departments either do not collect or do not publish this information, so we enthusiasts have nothing to go on.
@EnjoyFirefighting4 жыл бұрын
@@mikegaskin5542 apart from complaints based on actual incidents (like wheels falling off etc) at those brands, I see a negative opinion on Rosenbauer apparatus even without such incidents or problems; Many people have Rosenbroken in their mind even if they didn't work on such a truck so far. Thanks for the insight on measuring the reliability. Makes sense to some point, however I also see one problem: take two apparatus which are in service 24-7 for an entire year. Nr. 1 is a front line apparatus running basically all calls, while Nr 2 runs only few calls. Then apparatus 1 has e.g. 10 technical problems or failures within a year, while apparatus 2 has 10 technical problems as well although running a much lower number of calls, but still being ready at the station 24-7 as well. How do you take that into account? Of course apparatus 2 is less reliable then, but looking only at the time it is available and counting the problems, both would be on the same level, right? Some departments publish quite insightful things, especially in annual reports and townhall discussions. Thus the emergency services in the city where I grew up isn't capable to handle a worst case scenario, that's what they say themselves. The FD has the state's largest station, but some apparatus are simply missing and aren't purchased so far

It's likely that they specced it out that way.

It even had a seat on the turntable, which is one of the stupidest features to put on a turntable, because you're not going to sit down to move your aerial ladder.

Don't know anything about the company nor reputation, but if I were speccing out any apparatus, items I liked were chain saw holders; clean ladder (underslung water delivery); rollers for the stick ladders; remote monitor control. A monitor mounted thermal camera accessible to the remote operator would be nice. Appears they sacrificed 300 gl water for more storage. Ladder looks wide enough to slide a rescue basket down. Side mounted cameras nice but, drivers must understand it is a tool. One does not drive solely by using side mounted mirrors. The company did not demo the stabilizer jacks. The person kept mentioning the auto stow feature. I would think any new ladder unit would have that feature. Again as an assist tool, not a hit the button and walk a way to go roll up hose.
