HOWO 4x2 13.8 t Rescue Fire Truck with Rear Crane

The CLH5140 is a rescue support vehicle for incidents that call for lifting, recovery and work after dark. A folding knuckle-boom crane sits behind the equipment body, and the standard fit adds a winch, a cable reel and a scene lighting system. Roller-shutter compartments on both sides hold rescue tools, while the rear crane stays clear of the side lockers, so crews at road collisions and fireground support can lift and reach tools at the same time.

The HOWO two-axle chassis has a two-seat cab, ABS brakes and six tires, with axle loads of 5,000 kg front and 8,600 kg rear. Overall size is 9,060 × 2,530 × 3,600 mm, gross vehicle weight is 13,800 kg and curb weight 13,150 kg. Two Euro 6 diesel engines are offered, the MC07H.35-60 and the WP8.350E61, both rated at 257 kW, and top speed is 100 km/h. Seven wheelbases from 4,200 to 5,800 mm allow the body and crane layout to be matched to the equipment carried.

Typical duties include wreck lifting and obstacle clearing at traffic accidents, lighting large scenes at night and supporting pumpers at industrial fires. Because the rated mass is 450 kg, the tool load should be planned carefully, and the crane and winch ratings should be confirmed for the intended duties when ordering.
