THE VEHICLE
This HOWO 8x4 water tank fire truck is the bulk-water variant of the heavy pumper range: one 25,000 L tank dedicated entirely to water, feeding a fire pump and fire monitor. Airports, ports and large industrial complexes use it where the priority is maximum water on board rather than a foam split.
The 8x4 chassis has axle spacing of 1,950 + 4,600 + 1,400 mm and runs on 385/65R22.5 and 315/80R22.5 18PR tires. An engine rated between 351 and 450 hp works through a manual gearbox with Euro 2 to Euro 6 emission options, reaching 90 km/h. Overall dimensions are 11,990 × 2,550 × 3,560 mm, gross vehicle weight is 42,450 kg with a 24,800 kg load capacity, and curb weight is 17,200 kg. The double-row cab is followed by a long tank body with roller-shutter lockers and a rear pump bay.
Duties include water shuttle at incidents beyond hydrant reach, sustained attack at fuel and timber yards, and reserve cover for municipal mutual aid. CLW confirms pump and monitor specification and livery before production.
The 25,000 L water-tank figure is nominal vessel capacity, not a guaranteed permissible full-water load. The rated payload is 24,800 kg; set the actual fill within the certified gross vehicle weight and axle-load limits for the completed fire truck.
