As one of the common types of fire trucks, the foam fire truck is characterized by its ability to use foam to cover large areas, isolating combustible materials from contact with oxygen. This suppresses the spread of fire, and, combined with its cooling effect, ultimately extinguishes the fire. Due to its excellent flame-retardant and re-ignition-resistant properties, foam fire trucks are mainly used to extinguish fires in petrochemical enterprises, fuel terminals, airports, and during fuel transportation.
The foam fire truck’s overall dimensions are 9.6 meters in length, 2.55 meters in width, and 3.62 meters in height. It features a fire-red exterior and is equipped with a HOWO TX double-row flat-roof cab, including an air suspension driver’s seat, and can carry 2+4 persons as standard.

The standard tires are 12.00R20 steel radial tires produced by Triangle Tire, a well-known domestic manufacturer recognized for its reliability, wear resistance, and cost-effectiveness. This brand is commonly used on large domestic fire trucks. A spare tire of the same specification is mounted at the rear of the frame for easy access.
The fuel tank and post-treatment system are installed side by side, with the fuel tank enclosed for both safety and aesthetics. The urea tank is mounted on the cab side with an exposed design for easy refilling of urea solution.
An external power socket is located on the side of the equipment compartment, allowing the vehicle to be charged to ensure a reliable power supply in any environment.
The equipment compartment is made of high-quality steel and high-strength aluminum alloy profiles, featuring a concealed tank-type internal structure. The total tank capacity is 12.139 cubic meters, including 9.1 m³ for water and 3.039 m³ for foam concentrate.
The equipment lockers on both sides of the body are used to store various firefighting tools and are equipped with custom clamps and fixing devices to secure the equipment firmly. The roller shutter doors of the lockers are made of high-quality aluminum alloy, offering smooth operation, low noise, good sealing, and an attractive appearance.
The pump compartment is located at the rear of the vehicle and houses the water pump system, various instruments, indicator lights, water level gauges, pressure gauges, and vacuum gauges. A ball valve for water tank intake is also installed here, allowing connection to fire hydrants.
A safety ladder is mounted at the rear of the compartment, helping operators access the roof to control the foam fire monitor. This monitor can spray both foam and water, with high flow rates, long range, and simple operation—ideal for targeting and extinguishing fire hotspots with precision.
