A firefighting ATV is the appliance that reaches the fire when the road ends. The range covers 4×4 quad bikes, UTVs and compact motorcycles with 65–500 L tanks, water mist, foam or CAFS. For forest services, village brigades, pipeline operators and event teams that need a first attack before a truck can reach the scene.
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 10 t pumper is the right tool for a road. A forest track, a pipeline right-of-way or a crowded event site needs a vehicle that can pass and a tank that can start the attack.
The first minutes of a wildland or vehicle fire are often beyond the end of the road. An ATV or UTV can carry a small tank, a pump and a hose reel to the fire, start the attack and hold it until a larger appliance arrives.
The commercial case is decided by four things: tank volume, pump flow, spray pattern and off-road capability; the usable capacity, 65–500 L of water or foam; 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 tank volume, pump flow, spray pattern and off-road capability 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 65–500 L of water or foam, 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 one or two riders, a rear tank and a hose reel that can be reached from the ground, 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 fire fighting ATV 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.
4×4 ATVs with 65–200 L tanks, water mist or CAFS and a high-clearance chassis for narrow trails.
Compact UTVs with 300–500 L, a pump and a hose reel for lanes that a pumper cannot enter.
Long-range ATVs with a small tank and a tool set for remote valve stations and line breaks.
Quiet, low-emission UTVs with a water mist system for crowded areas and temporary structures.
ATVs with foam or dry powder for rapid response to spills and small fires in large yards.
A small tank and pump to attack hotspots, wet down vegetation or supply a handline while the main appliance is committed.
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.
The base vehicle and trailer configuration are reviewed against the destination road and type-approval rules. Export documents are prepared per market.
Where the ATV is registered as a fire appliance, the tank, pump and hose reel are reviewed against the relevant GB 7956 clauses. The final applicability is confirmed with the registration authority.
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.

The ATV range is built around access and first attack, with a small tank, a real pump and a chassis that can be trailered to the scene. 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.
Source: Diario LibreThe handover is the start of the service record, not the end of the order.
Published orders, handovers and platform records with buyer, date, quantity and source. Figures are as reported, not estimates.
The package was configured for two forest fire bases, with water-mist attack vehicles and a separate equipment transporter.
Six vehicles in one package. Delivery period in the award notice: 270 calendar days from contract effectiveness.
A single station fleet renewal that put the city’s first 24 t Scania foam tankers and a 32 m ladder into service.

The questions that decide the configuration, the chassis and the documentation package.
A typical 4×4 ATV carries 65–200 L of water, a small pump, a hose reel and a hand tool set. A UTV can carry 300–500 L and a second seat. The payload limit is the suspension and tyre rating, not the tank shape.
For long distances, yes. A road-legal ATV can travel short distances, but a trailer is faster and safer for highway transport. The trailer should be braked and rated for the loaded ATV, with ramps that one person can handle.
Yes, with a draft-capable pump and a suction hose. The lift should be kept within the pump’s priming limit, usually 7 m or less. A floating strainer and a foot valve reduce air intake and priming time.
The air compressor, foam proportioner and check valves need regular inspection, and the foam concentrate must be compatible with the system. Flush the system after every use and follow the manufacturer’s seal and filter schedule.
For Fire Fighting ATVs, 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 fire fighting ATV 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 fire fighting ATV 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 fire fighting ATV, a site plan, a photo of the access or the existing installation is also useful.
Tell us the trail width, the grade, the distance from the road and the water source. We will match the ATV, tank and pump to the last mile.
Quotations are based on a frozen technical specification. Final capacity, flow, height and equipment are confirmed in the signed agreement.
