The powerful 308 kW engine provides high torque and rapid response, making it suitable for dynamic and demanding firefighting scenarios.

Advanced Ladder System

The six-section telescopic ladder, controlled via electronic and manual operation modes, ensures precision and reliability in height-adjusted rescues. Its winch-driven extension system allows for quick deployment, while the integrated water and hydraulic rotary system enables seamless 360° rotation for versatile positioning.

Efficient Waterway System

Fitted with an American Hale RSD100 water pump and an Elkhart PSKD80-7200EXM electric-controlled fire monitor, this fire truck delivers a maximum water flow of 100L/s at optimal pressure. The stainless steel 2000L water tank and multiple water outlets and suctions ensure a steady supply of water during firefighting operations.

Rescue Cage & Safety Innovations

The rescue cage, supporting up to 300kg, features an automatic flip mechanism, high-intensity lighting, and an intelligent leveling system for secure operations. Safety features such as overload protection, collision prevention, and emergency manual overrides enhance operational security, ensuring smooth and risk-free rescues.

Intelligent Control & Electrical Systems

The CAN bus intelligent control system provides real-time monitoring of boom operations, ladder positioning, and engine performance through a color LCD display. Additionally, high-intensity lighting systems, intercom communication, and an alarm warning system facilitate enhanced situational awareness and operational efficiency.

Hydraulic & Emergency Protection

The imported variable pump hydraulic system ensures smooth ladder movement and optimal pressure regulation, while emergency backup systems allow manual ladder retraction and outriggers operation in case of power failure. Advanced stability mechanisms such as soft outrigger protection and wind speed alarms further enhance vehicle reliability.
