PM120 Foam Fire Truck on MAN TGM 18.290
The PM120 is a rescue foam fire truck built on the MAN TGM 18.290 chassis. It serves brigades that need one appliance to carry agents and rescue tools. The body holds 10000 kg of water and 2000 kg of foam. That puts the vehicle in the heavy attack class for refinery and port work. The crew cab carries the team, and the rear pump feeds a roof monitor.
The D0836LFL30 six cylinder engine makes 213 kW and 1150 N.m. Power reaches the wheels through a ZF 9S-1310 OD manual gearbox. The 4×2 chassis has a 4425 mm wheelbase and an 18000 kg maximum total mass. Top speed is 96 km/h and the turning diameter is under 15.6 m. Emission compliance is China IV, so registration is possible where that standard applies.
The equipment tank is built from Q235A steel combined with aluminum alloy sections. Skins, floor and interior panels are rust-proof aluminum, welded in a lap structure. The pedal tread surface and roof use aluminum pattern sheet. Compartment doors are light aluminum alloy shutters with a reliable action. The inner frame uses aluminum lap technology, so brackets and carriages can be repositioned.
A rear pump and a roof monitor complete the firefighting package. The forward compartments therefore stay free for rescue equipment. The body is assembled from a bolted and welded frame rather than a fixed box. A brigade can rearrange the internal racks between deployments without a new superstructure. That flexibility matters when one chassis has to cover several call types.
