M2483 HOWO Water Foam Fire Truck with 60 L/s Pump
The M2483 is a water foam fire fighting vehicle on a Sinotruk HOWO 4×2 chassis. Its four door lengthened cab seats 6. It is arranged for municipal and industrial brigades that answer structure fires with foam. The fire pump delivers 60 L/s at 1.0 MPa, enough to feed several hand lines and a monitor. One pump position therefore supports the whole attack.
Gross weight is 19800 kg and shipping mass 11600 kg. The wheelbase is 4600 mm with a 206 kW engine. Road speed reaches 100 km/h and the minimum turning diameter is 20 m or less. Approach and departure angles are 16 and 14 degrees. A manual gearbox provides ten forward gears behind a pull type diaphragm clutch.
The pump is a Shanghai Xiongzhen CB10/60-XZ with a piston primer. Vacuum reaches 85 kPa or better and priming takes 50 s or less. An air foam proportioner, the PH48 manual unit, meters concentrate at 3 percent or 6 percent. Electrical equipment includes a 100 W alarm control, red and blue strobes and LED side markers.
Because the proportioner is manual, the operator sets the ratio before the line is charged. Foam quality is then checked at the monitor. That suits a crew working a known fuel load, then switching to plain water for overhaul. The vehicle carries its own primer and proportioner, so no separate foam trailer or priming line is needed.

Where it fits
For municipal and plant brigades fighting hydrocarbon and structure fires. A 60 L/s pump and a 3 or 6 percent foam ratio set the working limits on arrival at the scene.
