Industrial fires are won with foam, distance and water duration. The range covers 12–25 t foam and water appliances, 80–170 L/s pumps and monitors that can be controlled from outside the hot zone. For refineries, chemical plants, fuel terminals, tank farms and ports that need a dedicated industrial appliance rather than a municipal pumper on mutual aid.
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 municipal pumper runs out of foam before a tank fire is controlled. An industrial truck is sized around the largest tank, bund and loading bay on site.
A flammable liquid fire spreads faster than a water supply can be repositioned. Foam must be applied at the right proportion, from a monitor that can reach the seat of the fire, for long enough to seal the surface. That requires tank volume, foam concentrate, a proportioning system and a monitor with enough throw.
The commercial case is decided by four things: foam volume, proportioning range, monitor throw and pump duration; the usable capacity, 12–25 t of water and foam, with 3–6% proportioning; 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 foam volume, proportioning range, monitor throw and pump duration 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 12–25 t of water and foam, with 3–6% proportioning, 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 2–6 person crew, a protected pump room and the foam concentrate storage needed for a sustained attack, 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 industrial fire truck 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.
Large foam tanks, fixed or remote monitors and a pump that can run at rated flow for hours.
Fast-attack foam lines, dry powder options and a body that can position close to the loading bay without blocking access.
Corrosion-resistant tanks, explosion-proof electrical options and monitors that keep the crew outside the hazard area.
CAFS or foam-water systems for deep-seated Class A and mixed Class B fires, with high-volume monitor attack.
Long throw monitors, salt-air corrosion protection and chassis specified for terminal roads and quay access.
A 12–18 t foam pumper that can support a structure fire or a fuel spill without a separate water supply.
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.
Foam trucks are engineered around GB 7956.3, covering tank construction, proportioning, pump performance and monitor operation.
Where the appliance enters a classified area, the electrical and exhaust configuration is reviewed against the site’s zone map. Explosion-proof options are quoted per project.
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 industrial range is built around foam volume, monitor reach and a pump room that can be serviced without opening the crew area. 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.
Size the foam tank around the largest bund fire and the application rate in the site’s fire strategy, then add the duration required before resupply. A 12–18 t foam truck is common for a terminal; a large tank farm may need 25 t and a separate foam concentrate supply.
CAFS is useful when water is limited, the fire load is deep-seated or the foam needs to cling to vertical surfaces. It is not a substitute for a large foam tank at a tank farm. The right choice depends on the fire strategy, the water supply and the crew’s ability to maintain the compressor and proportioning system.
Specify the monitor control position, thermal shielding, hose routing and a body that lets the crew operate from the protected side of the appliance. Remote-controlled monitors and fixed monitors on the roof reduce exposure, but they do not replace a site-specific attack plan.
Yes. Many industrial appliances offer electric or wireless monitor control with a range of 100–150 m. The control system should be tested with the pump at rated flow and the monitor at full throw, not only at low pressure.
For Industrial Fire Trucks, 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 industrial fire truck 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 industrial fire truck 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 industrial fire truck, a site plan, a photo of the access or the existing installation is also useful.
Tell us the largest bund, the foam application rate, the water supply and the hazardous area classification. We will size the foam tank, pump and monitor around the site fire strategy.
Quotations are based on a frozen technical specification. Final capacity, flow, height and equipment are confirmed in the signed agreement.
