A rescue vehicle carries the tools, the power and the light that the fire appliance does not. The range covers 98–168 tool sets, cranes, winches, light towers and chemical rescue bodies on 4×2 and 6×6 chassis. For fire services, industrial rescue teams and civil protection agencies that need a dedicated rescue and salvage appliance.
The range is delivered through CIMC Firetruck, with core manufacturing at Sichuan Chuanxiao in Chengdu. Every enquiry is tied to a written specification, a chassis or component availability date and a documentation pack for tender, registration or customs review.
A rescue scene needs hydraulic tools, lifting bags, a crane, a winch and light. A pumper has water and hose; it does not have the space or the power for a full rescue set.
The work after the fire is often heavier than the fire attack: lifting a vehicle, shoring a wall, cutting a door or lighting a collapse. A dedicated rescue body keeps the tools organized, powered and accessible, so the crew does not unpack a pumper to find a cutter.
The commercial case is decided by four things: tool storage, power take-off, crane and winch capacity and lighting; the usable capacity, 98–168 tools, with a 5 t crane and a 5–8 t winch; crew and equipment fit; and the documentation needed for registration or tender. A lower purchase price that ignores one of those numbers is usually paid back in downtime.
The tool storage, power take-off, crane and winch capacity and lighting are fixed in one drawing package before production. The customer approves the interface, the performance figures and the equipment list as a set, not as separate purchase orders.
The body, tank, pump, control logic and equipment mounting are engineered together. The interface risk sits with one build team, not between an importer, a body builder and a component supplier.
The specification is built around 98–168 tools, with a 5 t crane and a 5–8 t winch, then checked against the chassis axle rating, the stability envelope and the duty cycle. The advertised maximum is not used as the design point.
The body is laid out around a walk-in or walk-around body with racks for hydraulic, lifting, cutting and shoring equipment, with the controls, hose bed, lockers and equipment reachable from the ground. The crew should not have to climb on the roof to start the attack.
Each rescue vehicle is delivered with a model-specific parts list, a first-year consumable recommendation and a documented service schedule. Wear parts are identified before delivery, not after the first failure.
Dimensional drawings, test records, operation manuals and the inspection file are prepared before shipment. The tender or registration package is reviewed against the destination requirements.
Start with the incident, the access and the water or power source. The configuration follows.
Hydraulic cutters, spreaders, rams, lifting bags and a winch for a vehicle or a truck cab.
Shoring, concrete cutting, search cameras, lighting and a crane for a partial collapse.
Decontamination, gas detection and a separate PPE store for a chemical incident.
Rope, harness, throw bags and a light tower for a bank, a bridge or a roof.
Confined-space entry, rigging, lifting and a crane for a plant emergency.
A rescue body that can be paired with pumpers, tankers and command vehicles in a task force.
The certificate and the test record are part of the product, not paperwork added after the order.
Quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management systems certified to GB/T 19001, GB/T 24001 and GB/T 45001. Certificates are available for pre-qualification.
Rescue vehicles are engineered around GB 7956.14-2015, covering the body, equipment storage, lighting and safety.
Chemical rescue bodies are reviewed against GB 7956.15-2025, including decontamination, detection and PPE storage.
For markets outside China, the technical file is built around the standard named in the tender. Applicability and third-party certification are confirmed in writing before contract.

Specifications are representative and vary by model, chassis and destination. Confirm the final configuration, axle load and performance figures in the signed technical agreement.
The rescue range is built around the tool list: a body, power and light package configured for the task the crew actually performs. The core manufacturing base is in Chengdu, with tank fabrication, subframe and body welding, pump assembly, electrical harnesses, painting and full-load testing under one management system.
Sichuan Chuanxiao Fire Trucks Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a member of CIMC Tianda Holdings and traces its line to the Sichuan Fire Machinery Factory, founded in 1963. The company operates a 200,000 m² plant with more than 500 employees and a range of more than 300 fire truck variants.
Products are distributed in more than 60 countries, with service to more than 2,000 fire departments and rescue organizations. Factory-direct supply covers the appliance, the fire pump and monitor, the body and the parts list, rather than a broker assembling unrelated components.
Diario Libre reported the January 2019 delivery of 40 fire trucks to the Dominican Republic as the first Chinese aid project since the two countries established diplomatic relations. The trucks were built by Sichuan Chuanxiao and handed over to the national 9-1-1 system.

The questions that decide the configuration, the chassis and the documentation package.
Start with the task: extrication, collapse, chemical, water or high-angle. A road rescue truck needs cutters, spreaders, rams, lifting bags, cribbing and a winch. A USAR truck adds shoring, concrete cutting, search and a crane.
A crane lifts and holds a load; a winch pulls it horizontally. Many rescue trucks carry both, but the chassis and body must be designed for the combined load. A 5 t crane and a 5–8 t winch are common.
A rescue crew is usually 4–6. A 6-seat cab leaves room for a relief crew or a specialist, but it reduces body length. Confirm the seat count against the tool list and the station bay.
Yes. A 5.5–12 m light tower with 2–4 kW of LED light is common. The mast, generator and stabilizer must be matched to the body and the roof load.
For Emergency Rescue Vehicles, the documentation package includes the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management system certificates, the applicable GB 7956 test basis and the material and pressure test records. Market-specific certification is quoted separately.
A standard configuration on an available chassis is typically 90–180 days after drawing approval. Imported chassis, aerial appliances, custom bodies and specialized equipment can take 6–10 months. The contract should state the chassis, drawing approval and delivery dates separately.
Yes. The rescue vehicle can be configured around the tank, pump, body, equipment and destination requirements. The limit is the chassis rating, the stability calculation and the applicable standard, not the catalogue.
Large vehicles usually move by RoRo; smaller equipment can ship by container or air freight. A factory acceptance test can be arranged before shipment, and commissioning or training can be provided on site or remotely.
Training covers operation, daily inspection and the task-specific drill. Each rescue vehicle is supplied with a model-specific spare parts list, and a first-year consumables kit can be quoted.
Warranty terms are set in the contract and typically cover the chassis per the chassis manufacturer’s terms and the fire body or equipment for 12–24 months. Extended coverage and a service-level agreement can be quoted.
Compare the drawing, the bill of materials, the pump or system curve, the tank material, the axle-load calculation and the test plan. A lower price with a smaller tank, a generic pump or missing test records is not the same product.
Send the task, the required capacity or flow, the chassis preference, the destination market and the equipment list. For a rescue vehicle, a site plan, a photo of the access or the existing installation is also useful.
Tell us the rescue task, the tools, the crew and the access. We will lay out the body around the equipment, not around a catalogue drawing.
Quotations are based on a frozen technical specification. Final capacity, flow, height and equipment are confirmed in the signed agreement.
