PM180 8×4 Foam Fire Truck with 440 kW and Rotatable Cab
The PM180 is a foam fire truck on a Mercedes Benz Actros 4160 8×4 chassis with a rotatable cab, built for heavy industrial foam duty. It seats six including the driver, runs a 440 kW engine and carries an imported fire pump and fire monitor. The rotatable cab and the wide body let the crew work the monitor from the appliance during a long foam attack.
The inline eight cylinder engine delivers 2800 N.m under China IV and Euro IV through a manual gearbox with 16 forward gears. Gross weight is 38650 kg with a 20600 kg shipping mass, on a 1700+4300+1350 mm wheelbase. Top speed is 95 km/h, with approach and departure angles of 23 and 11 degrees and a turning diameter under 26 m.
The body measures 11310x2500x3630 mm. Tires are 385/65R22.5 at the front and 315/80R22.5 at the rear, and a monolithic dry clutch handles the torque of the eight cylinder engine. Each seat carries an embedded air breathing apparatus mount, and a covered storage box under the seat keeps tools out of the working aisle. The equipment body is arranged around the pump and monitor controls.
