The Geser F-250 4x4 is a fire-fighting vehicle from Switzerland.

History and Development

Since 1975, the Geser F-250 4x4 fire brigade vehicles have been designed at Geser AG in Littau, Canton of Lucerne. Often specifically adapted to the different needs of Swiss fire brigades. The Geser F-250 4x4 model is based on the Ford F-250 and was widely used as a respirator, crew and material carrier. The vehicle has all-wheel drive with terrain reduction with compensation in the transfer case and automatic differential lock at the rear axle. It has a trailer hook for carrying various firefighter equipment on a trailer, if required. The tires consist of 4x 9.50 16.5 TC with a pneumatic pressure of 4.5 bar at the front and 5.0 bar at the rear. The braking system is based on vacuum-assisted hydraulic brakes. Various fire brigades in Switzerland have such vehicles still as oldtimer for partys and parades in the inventory. A Geser F-250 4x4 of the volunteer fire brigade of the city of Zug in the configuration as respiratory protection vehicle is located in the Zuger Depot Technikgeschichte.
