Ziegler – other models: the collective page of fire-service trailers from Giengen outside the named ranges, motor-pump trailers (MSA) from 770 to 2,020 kg unladen weight, gross weights up to 2,500 kg

Ziegler of Giengen an der Brenz is a German maker of fire-fighting equipment. The model names on this collective page – MSA for Motorspritzenanhänger (motor-pump trailer) and the Dutch term Motorspuitwagen for the same type of trailer – show that these are trailers with a permanently fitted fire pump, towed behind a vehicle to supplement or replace a fire engine. By gross weight the versions fall within trailer class O2 up to 3.5 tonnes.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 770 to 2,020 kg and gross weights from 1,000 to 2,500 kg, at a width of 1,770 to 1,970 mm.

Motor-pump trailers were and are common with smaller fire brigades, works fire brigades and civil-protection units, because they provide a capable pump far more cheaply than a complete fire engine and can be towed by ordinary municipal vehicles; many units remain in active service with smaller local brigades to this day, often as a second line behind a full fire engine.

On a used purchase, the function and output of the pump, the condition of suction and delivery hoses and couplings, the tightness of water tanks where fitted, the axle and brakes, the condition of chassis and drawbar, the coupling head and jockey wheel, and a valid inspection sticker on both the chassis and the fire-fighting equipment all count.
