When the fire is two kilometres from the nearest water, a pumper cannot help. The remote water supply system uses a main pump, relay pumps and a large hose layout to move water from a river, canal or reservoir to the incident. For ports, flood-prone districts, industrial plants and rural areas where the water source is far from the fire.
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 pump that can lift water 7 m cannot push it 2 km through a small hose. Remote supply is a system: hose diameter, relay pumps, pressure and automation.
A remote water supply system is designed around the hose layout, the elevation and the relay points. The main pump, the relay pumps and the pressure control must work together, or the line will cavitate, burst or deliver too little water at the fire.
The commercial case is decided by four things: relay distance, hose diameter, pump pressure and automation; the usable capacity, 2 km of relay with a 400–35,000 L appliance; 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 relay distance, hose diameter, pump pressure and automation 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 2 km of relay with a 400–35,000 L appliance, 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 main pump, relay pumps and a hose layout that can be deployed from a truck or a trailer, 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 remote water supply 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.
A remote supply from the harbour or a canal to a terminal, with a high-flow main pump.
A high-volume pump for flood drainage, with the same hose and relay system used for fire supply.
A water source far from the fire, with a relay line across fields or roads.
A supply from a river, a pond or a distant hydrant to a plant fire.
A relay line from the portal to the fire zone, with a booster at the tunnel entrance.
A long-distance supply to a filling point or a sprinkler line.
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 pump, hose and pressure control are reviewed against the relevant GB 7956 clauses for water tanker and pump appliances.
The system is tested at the specified distance and elevation, not only at the pump outlet. The test record should show the flow and pressure at the far end of the hose layout.
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 remote supply range is built as a system: main pump, relay pumps, hose and pressure control, tested together at distance. 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.

Published orders, handovers and platform records with buyer, date, quantity and source. Figures are as reported, not estimates.
A port-scale remote supply system, tendered as a system rather than a single pumper.
The system uses a main pump and a relay pump to supply or drain water over about 2 km, with automatic relay start and stop.
A single station package configured for chemical-park rescue, with all five vehicles accepted together.
Verification note: each record is linked to its published source. Where a source did not publish a value or quantity, the card says so.
The questions that decide the configuration, the chassis and the documentation package.
About 2 km with the specified relay pumps and hose. The actual distance depends on the elevation, the hose diameter and the required flow at the fire. A larger hose and more relay points extend the distance.
The range covers 400 L/s-class pump units and 35,000 L tankers, but the flow at 2 km is lower than the pump outlet rating. The system test should state the flow at the far end.
Yes, with a high-volume pump and a debris strainer. The same hose and relay system can move flood water, but the pump and strainer must be selected for the debris load.
A two-person crew can deploy the hose and start the main pump; additional personnel are needed for a long relay line. The automatic relay start reduces the number of operators at each booster.
For Remote Water Supply System 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 remote water supply 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 remote water supply 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 remote water supply truck, a site plan, a photo of the access or the existing installation is also useful.
Tell us the water source, the distance, the elevation and the flow required at the fire. We will design the relay, hose and pump package around the route.
Quotations are based on a frozen technical specification. Final capacity, flow, height and equipment are confirmed in the signed agreement.
