The platform capacity on the B-Fire 450 is 450kg allowing up to four occupants and their equipment. A front flap is fitted that serves as a walkway/gangplank and entrance to the basket in order to help provide easier access when rescuing people from high buildings, while an ultrasonic proximity device prevents accidental collisions.

The machine also incorporates a side mounted aluminium ladder/stairway, an integrated electronic system, three command posts, automatic stabilisation, fire-fighting body and interior lighting. A delegation visited CTE for training and familiarisation with the machine prior to it being shipped this week
