Abstract: A truck, in particular a fire-fighting utility vehicle. The vehicle has a structure mounted on a chassis frame with a driver's cab pivotable about a horizontal axis extending transversely to the travel direction. A crew and/or equipment cab is also mounted on the chassis frame communicating with the driver's cab via a releasable connecting mechanism forming a passageway. Independently of the driver's cab and the crew and/or equipment cab, a utility structure is mounted on the chassis frame having built-in fixtures for storing tools and equipment and optionally having extinguisher units consisting of at least a tank, extinguisher pump, etc. and mounting devices are provided at entry and/or operating openings in transverse and/or longitudinal side walls of the structure.

Abstract: The invention describes a self-supporting box structure (3) for utility vehicles (1) particularly firefighting vehicles, for accommodating life-saving and/or firefighting devices and if necessary extinguishing substances and/or pumps for extinguishing substances, in a plurality of equipment boxes or compartments (27, 28) accessible from the outside through various door arrangements (34). The self-supporting box structure (3) has a horizontal support panel (12), which is formed in a plane perpendicular to a vehicle longitudinal axis (11) with a substantially U- or hat-like profiled cross-section. On this horizontal support panel (12) in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis (11) and at a spacing (13 to 15) from one another and perpendicular thereto there are arranged at least three transverse support elements (16 to 18), which project in the direction of a support surface (19) by a length (20) of the arms (21) of the U-shaped profiled cross-section of the horizontal support panel (12).

Abstract: An operations vehicle with a lighting device for a working area extending from a side panel, a roof, or both, at least in the direction opposite the operations vehicle. The lighting device is arranged in the transition region between the side panel and the roof of the operations vehicle. In the transition region at least between a side panel and the roof of an operations vehicle is arranged a dropside-like boundary element which is placed on the roof and projects beyond it in a more or less perpendicular direction. On the boundary element is arranged a light source, in particular a fluorescent tube, in a lining which in the direction of the side panel of the operations vehicle and if occasion arises in the direction pointing away from it comprises openings for passage of light, preferably sealed by a light-transmitting lining panel.
