Trailers in firefighter equipment
Specialized trailers are a fundamental part of the fire and rescue services' arsenal. Developed to meet the growing need for mobility and versatility in response, these vehicles can transport heavy equipment, additional water supplies, or specialized tools directly to the scene of an emergency.
The evolution of these trailers reflects the technological transformations of the firefighting profession. From simple equipment carriers, they have become true mobile centers equipped with specialized compartments, hydraulic systems, and cutting-edge equipment. Their modular design allows for rapid adaptation to different types of interventions: forest fires, road accidents, and aquatic rescues.
These auxiliary vehicles demonstrate the continued professionalization of French emergency services, which have successfully adapted their equipment to the contemporary challenges of civil security. Their presence at response sites increases the operational capabilities of first-response teams.
Solido and the world of emergency vehicles
Founded in 1932, the Solido brand quickly established itself as a benchmark in the reproduction of utility and public service vehicles . The French company has developed particular expertise in the modeling of fire engines, understanding the importance of these vehicles in the collective imagination and their educational value.
During the golden decades of French miniature production, Solido built a complete range of emergency vehicles , from intervention vans to large ladders and specialized trailers. This systematic approach allowed collectors to reconstruct complete fleets of firefighting equipment, faithful to the reality of French barracks.
The attention paid to technical details and authentic liveries has made Solido a privileged partner for the dissemination of safety culture. These model cars have made generations of children aware of the crucial role of firefighters in French society.
The evolution of emergency equipment
The history of fire trailers truly began in the interwar period, when French fire departments realized the need for additional mobile equipment. The first trailers, often homemade, were primarily used to transport hoses and portable ladders.
The real revolution came in the 1960s and 1970s , with the appearance of specialized technical trailers. These machines became real mobile workshops, equipped with generators, site lighting and hydraulic tools. Their development accompanied the expansion of the missions of firefighters, who were now called upon for increasingly diversified interventions.
A notable anecdote concerns the use of these trailers during the major forest fires in southern France. In the 1980s, the adaptation of lightweight tanker trailers revolutionized wildland firefighting, allowing teams to intervene in hard-to-reach areas. These innovations, born of operational emergencies, subsequently inspired manufacturers to develop standardized ranges.
Today, firefighter trailers incorporate the latest technologies : geolocation systems, advanced communications equipment, and even drones for aerial reconnaissance. This constant evolution illustrates the remarkable adaptability of French emergency services in the face of contemporary challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
