For Sale NIB Mini MX7000s

[kadetklapp]

Not mine. Nice pieces.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/302127961579

Almost looks like someone cut off the end of a full size MX7000 and
calls it a mini.

That's how code 3 sold them. They did make the mini Excalibur with each side being angled, but those are not common. I don't think they ever made the MX7000 that way.

The main reason for their exisitance was to supplement cab-over fire apparatus or large tow trucks. A bit goofy, but it was to be used as additional light coverage alongside the main lightbar system. I don't think they caught on like Code 3 hoped they would like the XL5000 mini lightbars did.

So how is the end of it capped off at the base??

Los Angeles county fire uses them on the back of their engines. Red on the passenger side and amber on the driver's side

The seller is Ferrara Fire Apparatus. So one would assume they are left over stock that they used to fulfill truck builds. So they would have ordered those from Code 3 as they are. And not cut a full size down bar.

That was what I wondered about also.

Just with a metal endcap
(comparable to the inner endcaps of the FedSig ViewPoint)


Code3 also built a 29" MX, which consists of an outboard+center section.

Code 3 still sells the Mini Excal...I'm tempted to buy one, just to play with

 

[Pete L.]

I'm sorry but the flat end of this "mini" looks like crap.
I don't mean to be a purist but it doesn't look proper.

I've seen a couple of those mini Excal bars. VERY tempting.

Where I've seen these used before, and I think it looks good, is on a ladder truck. I agree putting these on the sides of an engine with a full size lightbar would look bad. But on a ladder that can't have a full size lightbar, these look good.

 

[SBFD-E-9]

Peoria IL has these on their Pierce Velocity rigs on the side of the cab and they look strange. I too would love to have a mini Excalibur.

[Pete L.]

I'm going to eat crow here, I could see the function of these
when they are on either side of a ladder. Nobody sees the end
of these from the road (still looks nasty).

Hey Guys!
If you didnt like the MX's, then what do you think about these from Federal LOL......here are mine:

Anyone wants to play with a non-rotator - I bought this one from BRMV... and never did anything with it - currently gathering dust.

Los Angeles city fire uses them on the back of their engines. Red on the passenger side and amber on the driver's side

LA County actually uses them.

 

[smitty711]

San Jose Ca fire used A modified MX 7000 on Ladder trucks. Mini center section and then one full side. Were on an angle on either side of the ladder mounted to the cab.

There you go: perfect rear warning mini bars!

 

[firebuff17]

And perfectly folded hose loads to boot!
It's a good looking rear end all around.

 

[Pete L.]

I really expected the Jazz man to chime in with
lead ins like "good looking rear end all around"
and "perfectly folded hose loads"

Too easy.
