Act
Introduction
Plan subject to
This cascade plan is subject to change based on Fleet operational requirements including to avoid expensive repairs on older appliances,
change
to accommodate peaks in demand for relief or training appliances, and changes in the approved fleet allocation.
Timings are indicative and subject to change. Generally, appliances cascading to stations a long distance away (e.g. inter-island) or
requiring more changes to fit out (e.g. 464 ladder changes) wil  take longer than those that are going to a station a short distance away
with little or no changes to fit out.
For any queries regarding this plan please contact your Region Fleet Co-ordinator or the National Fleet Manager.
Note:
Information

There are no Type 1 cascades listed as this is currently under review.

There are no Type 2 cascades listed as the destination stations for the next Type 2 appliances are yet to be determined.

Appendix
1982
Appliance cascade
FL2-2 POP Fleet procurement and al ocation policy (“the Policy”):
principles
  specifies the allocation of Types 1,2 & 3 appliances to stations and the “Tier” of each appliance
  notes that the introduction of new appliances to the fleet wil  result in older appliances being retired and a movement
Act
(“cascade”) of appliances between positions in each Tier
  notes that “The National Fleet Manager will determine the cascade schedule, and transfer appliances as required to achieve
the al ocation principles contained in this policy.”
The Fleet team general y apply the following cascade principles:
Priority  Principle
1
Cascaded appliance to be the al ocated Type
2
Replace Type 1 appliances where the al ocation is a Type 2 or 3
Information
3
Replace appliances that are outside the al ocated Type or Tier age limit
4
Replace problematic trucks (from a fleet maintenance / reliability point of view)
5
Replace the busiest trucks, but where cal  numbers are close more priority to be given to replacing the oldest trucks
6
Replace the oldest trucks
Official
i.e.:
1.  We wil  put the correct Type of appliance in unless there is a shortage of appliances of the required Type – if you’re
the
supposed to have a Type 1 we’l  give you a Type 1.
2.  We will prioritise replacing your appliance if you have a Type 1 and you’re supposed to have a Type 2 or 3 because your
appliance is probably too small to carry the gear you’re supposed to have.
3.  If you already have the correct Type of appliance and your appliance is already the correct age (i.e. no older than it’s
supposed to be) then we wil  upgrade others in the Tier that don’t meet these criteria first.
under
4.  If particular appliances or models of truck (e.g. Mitsubishi FP418s) are starting to become unreliable or require regular work
to maintain at CoF standard (e.g. due to rust) then we’l  prioritise getting rid of them.
5.  We will prioritise replacing busy appliances over appliances that aren’t used very much.
6.  After going through al  of the above criteria, we wil  get rid of the oldest trucks first.

SCHEDULE – Appliance cascade plan
Having established which trucks are to be replaced, we then arrange the cascades within that group to minimise the fit outs and
transport distance required e.g. minimise 464 ladder gantry swaps, try to cascade appliances fitted out as PRTs to other PRT slots,
1982
avoid ferry trips where possible.

Act
Application to the plan
For the current cascade plan the principles above have been applied as follows:
to December 2018
For Type 1s:
  There are no specified Type 1 cascades as this is currently under review. In most cases the Type 1s being replaced in Tier 1
are a similar age to those in Tier 2 apart from two Iveco Type 2s that are being replaced with a new Type 1, and the Isuzu
prototype appliance.
For Type 3s:
  As there are currently no new Type 3 appliances in production, an intra-Tier 2 cascade wil  take place to ensure our busiest
appliances are the most modern.
  The oldest Tier 3 appliances are being replaced.
