china’s first 40-meter straight-bend ladder fire truck, devised by leading construction machinery maker xuzhou construction machinery group (xcmg), made its debut at an exhibition recently, showcasing china's progress in fire equipment development.
xcmg made a breakthrough in two core technologies: dual ladder expansion technology and multi-track asynchronous pipeline transmission technology. this enables the fire truck with stronger obstacle-crossing capability and larger operating range, as well as the ability to reaching higher altitudes when carrying out rescues.
in addition, the fire truck has multiple intelligent protection functions for safer operation such as ladder intelligent vibration reduction in the ladder.
the fire extinction power has also been boosted with a fire system configuration that can automatically issue firefighting foam in the required proportion.
the new fire truck helps speed up rescue as the ladder can be quickly extended, enabling the rescue workers to enter the platform operation zone on the ladder.
