Mercedes-Benz Water Tower Fire Truck 31000 kg Total Mass
This Mercedes-Benz water tower fire truck is a 6×4 unit with a body measuring 10330 mm long and 2500 mm wide. It carries a crew of 2 + 4 including the driver. The modified cab fits a rear rack for four SCBA sets. A fully synchronized G240-16 gearbox carries the drive, and full authorized total mass is 31000 kg. The wheelbase measures 4500 mm on this chassis.
Maximum power is 320/435 kw/hp. The V-type 6-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled engine produces 320kW at 1800 r/min. Maximum torque is 2100N.M at 1080rpm under Euro IV. Chassis weight is 9230Kg and the maximum allowable load is 23700Kg. Top speed is 104Km/h, and the minimum turning diameter is below 22.3 m. Those figures apply to the chassis as supplied for fire service use.
The fire pipeline set includes 4 DN80 outlets with ball valves. A DN100 monitor line carries a pneumatic valve. A DN150 outside suction line and a DN150 inside suction line with a pneumatic valve feed the pump. The pump room and waterway panel sit at the rear of the body. The monitor line and the suction lines are sized for full pump flow.
A DN50 pneumatic injection line and 4 DN80 outside filling interfaces support refilling from a hydrant. Two DN80 outside water supply valves let the crew feed another appliance. The water tower fire truck is used where a raised monitor matters on long urban runs. That pattern keeps the response self-sufficient and supports a second appliance.
