No fire brigade wanted to do without the Uranus - the thundering Deutz diesel brought the powerful giant to the scene as a rescue vehicle for all cases. For decades, the crane trucks from Ulm shaped the vehicle fleet of the large professional fire brigades in Germany, since the eighties they slowly became rare - discarded and discarded they disappeared. But the mighty Magirus Uranus crane trucks would not be what has always preceded them as a reputation for robustness and reliability, if they did not reappear at some point, so to speak for a second life. Wiking did not present the "KW 15", a similar version of which was also used by the Berlin fire brigade, in 1981. It was one of the last innovations, the model implementation of which was initiated by Wiking boss Fritz Peltzer himself. The Wiking friends and blue light collectors were just as enthusiastic then as they are today. Now Wiking has given the fire brigade specialist character-giving coarse tread tires, which make the model appear more authentic in terms of the overall look.

Wiking started their first production of traffic models in Berlin. For 85 years, impressive models have been created there that are the mirror image of German automobile manufacturing. Now the Wiking range is designed and produced in south-west Germany by the Sieper Group. The range is constantly growing with new examples such as fire engine turntable ladders and passenger cars, but also current tractors as well as various classics. Not only current examples are brought out in miniature, but also forgotten models.
