ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Tank Fire truck

ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Tank Fire truck

The ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Tank Fire Truck is a compact and practical firefighting vehicle developed for rapid emergency response in urban areas, industrial facilities, warehouses, workshops, commercial buildings, and other locations where both water and foam may be required. Built on a reliable ISUZU 4×2 left-hand-drive chassis with a double-row crew cab, the truck combines a 2,000-liter water tank, 1,000-liter foam tank, fire pump, fire monitor, hose reel, and essential firefighting equipment into one integrated emergency-response platform, allowing firefighters to transport personnel, extinguishing agents, and operating equipment together to the incident location.

With an overall dimension of approximately 6,850 × 2,500 × 2,840 mm and a 3,815 mm wheelbase, the vehicle maintains a relatively compact body that is well suited to city streets and industrial compounds while still providing sufficient space for its firefighting equipment and five-person crew. The approximately 4,375 kg tare weight and 6,800 kg gross vehicle weight provide a practical foundation for the firefighting superstructure and liquid agents, while the 90 km/h maximum speed allows the vehicle to respond efficiently when dispatched to an emergency.

The truck is powered by an ISUZU 4KH1CN5HS diesel engine delivering 130 HP, with a four-stroke direct-injection design, water cooling, turbocharging, and intercooling. The engine is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission with 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, while the 4×2 drivetrain and hydraulic power steering provide straightforward handling on paved roads, urban streets, industrial yards, and other common emergency-response routes. The 7.00R16 tires, 2,000 kg front axle, and 4,800 kg rear axle further provide a suitable chassis foundation for this compact firefighting configuration.

The firefighting body carries a total of 3,000 liters of liquid extinguishing agents, divided into 2,000 liters of water and 1,000 liters of foam. This dual-agent arrangement allows the crew to use water for general fire suppression and cooling while retaining a dedicated foam supply for incidents involving fuels, oils, flammable liquids, and other applications where foam can be advantageous. The configuration is also consistent with the broader ISUZU fire-truck range, which includes dedicated water-foam firefighting vehicles in several capacities.

Features

Compact ISUZU Chassis and Crew Cab

The ISUZU chassis provides a dependable base for the firefighting body, with a 3,815 mm wheelbase and compact overall dimensions that make the truck easier to maneuver through relatively narrow streets, factory compounds, warehouse areas, and densely developed urban environments. The double-row cab accommodates 2+3 firefighters, allowing the response crew to travel together with the vehicle rather than requiring separate personnel transportation.

The left-hand-drive configuration is suitable for markets using right-side traffic, while the air-conditioned cab provides a more comfortable working environment for the crew during both emergency response and routine vehicle operation. The 90 km/h maximum driving speed gives the truck practical road performance, while the 4×2 configuration keeps the chassis relatively simple and efficient for predominantly paved-road firefighting applications.

130 HP Turbocharged Diesel Engine

The 4KH1CN5HS ISUZU diesel engine produces approximately 130 HP and uses turbocharging and intercooling to improve its power output and operating efficiency. The four-stroke direct-injection design is paired with water cooling and a 6-speed manual gearbox, providing a useful combination of responsive acceleration and controlled low-speed operation when the truck is maneuvering around an emergency scene.

The powertrain is also suitable for regular fire-station operation because the vehicle must not only respond to emergencies but also travel between the station, training grounds, maintenance facilities, and other locations. The combination of a compact chassis, 6-speed transmission, hydraulic power steering, and 7.00R16 tires gives the driver a straightforward platform to operate in everyday service.

2,000L Water and 1,000L Foam Tanks

The firefighting body incorporates separate 2,000-liter water and 1,000-liter foam tanks, providing a combined capacity of 3,000 liters. Internal anti-surge baffles can be used within the tank structure to reduce excessive liquid movement while the truck is traveling, helping maintain more predictable vehicle behavior during acceleration, braking, and cornering.

The water tank provides the primary supply for general firefighting and cooling operations, while the dedicated foam tank allows the vehicle to respond to fire situations where foam application is appropriate. This makes the truck particularly useful for industrial workshops, warehouses, fuel-related facilities, commercial properties, and other locations where the fire risk may involve both ordinary combustible materials and flammable liquids.

CB10/30 Fire Pump

The truck is equipped with a CB10/30 centrifugal fire pump with a rated flow of 30 L/s at a pressure of 1.0 MPa, providing the pressurized water supply required for the fire monitor and hose-based firefighting operations. The pump is driven through the vehicle’s power take-off system, allowing the chassis engine to provide the required mechanical power without the need for a separate pump engine.

The PTO-driven arrangement keeps the firefighting system integrated with the vehicle and provides a practical operating solution for a compact emergency truck. Once the truck reaches the fire scene and is positioned safely, the crew can engage the PTO and operate the pump to deliver water or firefighting solution through the connected discharge system.

PL24 Fire Monitor

A PL24 fire monitor provides a dedicated high-flow discharge point for firefighting operations, allowing the crew to direct a concentrated stream toward the fire from a position on the vehicle. The monitor is particularly useful during the initial attack phase when firefighters need to apply a substantial quantity of extinguishing agent while maintaining a safer distance from intense heat and flames.

The monitor works together with the fire pump, water tank, and foam system, giving the truck the flexibility to deliver the appropriate extinguishing medium according to the incident. For larger emergencies requiring additional water supply, the vehicle can also operate alongside a dedicated water tanker truck, helping maintain a continuous supply when the onboard tank capacity alone is not sufficient.

Complete Firefighting Equipment Package

The vehicle is equipped with a practical package of standard firefighting equipment, including the fire pump, fire monitor, PTO, hose reel, sliding equipment-compartment gates, row-type warning lights, rear climbing ladder, and common firefighting tools. The equipment compartments are arranged to provide convenient storage for hoses, nozzles, couplings, and other tools that may be required during emergency operations.

The hose reel provides an additional discharge option for situations where firefighters need a more flexible water or foam application method than the main monitor. The rear climbing ladder also provides access to the upper portion of the firefighting body, while the warning-light system helps make the vehicle more visible to surrounding traffic and personnel during emergency deployment.

Additional Fire Suppression Capability

In addition to the primary water and foam systems, the configuration can incorporate a dry powder tank and nitrogen system, providing an additional firefighting medium for specific emergency applications. This multi-agent approach gives the vehicle greater flexibility when dealing with different types of fire hazards and can be particularly useful for industrial and commercial facilities where the potential fire load is more varied.

The combination of water, foam, and optional dry-powder capability means that the vehicle can be configured according to the actual requirements of the customer, rather than being limited to a single firefighting method. This makes it suitable for municipal emergency services as well as factories, warehouses, workshops, logistics facilities, and private industrial fire brigades.

Designed for Rapid Emergency Response

The ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Tank Fire Truck brings together a compact 4×2 chassis, five-person crew cab, 130 HP diesel engine, 3,000-liter combined water and foam capacity, 30 L/s fire pump, PL24 fire monitor, and practical firefighting equipment in a single vehicle. Its relatively compact dimensions make it suitable for locations where a larger heavy-duty fire truck would be difficult to maneuver, while the dual-agent tank system provides greater flexibility than a water-only firefighting vehicle.

For broader municipal and emergency-service operations, the truck can also work alongside specialized vehicles such as a sweeper truck for post-incident cleanup and an aerial truck for elevated rescue or firefighting support. With its balanced chassis, practical tank capacity, integrated pump and monitor system, and versatile firefighting equipment, this ISUZU water-foam fire truck provides a practical solution for first-response firefighting and emergency protection across a wide range of professional applications.
