2 Answers
Fire trucks are produced by the following manufacturers nationwide: Zoomlion: Founded in 1992, Zoomlion is primarily engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of high-tech equipment required for infrastructure construction in fields such as construction engineering, energy engineering, environmental engineering, and transportation engineering. It is a continuously innovative global enterprise. Its firefighting machinery products include ladder fire trucks, aerial platform fire trucks, elevated water tower fire trucks, urban main battle fire trucks, foam/water tank fire trucks, rescue fire trucks, lighting fire trucks, and special fire trucks. Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group (XCMG) Fire Safety Equipment: Established in March 1989, XCMG is one of China's 520 key enterprises and a national 863/CIMS application demonstration pilot enterprise. Its fire safety equipment includes aerial platform fire trucks, elevated water tower fire trucks, ladder fire trucks, tank-type fire trucks, urban main battle fire trucks, and emergency rescue equipment. Sany Heavy Industry: Founded in 1989, Sany Group is an equipment manufacturing company with a focus on 'engineering.' Its main products cover a full range of machinery, including concrete machinery, excavating machinery, hoisting machinery, road construction machinery, piling machinery, wind power equipment, port machinery, petroleum equipment, and coal mining equipment. Among these, excavating machinery, piling machinery, crawler crane machinery, mobile port machinery, road machinery, and coal mining machinery are leading brands in China, while concrete machinery is a global brand. Its emergency rescue equipment includes products such as 48-meter elevated water tower fire trucks, 55-meter aerial platform fire trucks, and 62-meter elevated water tower fire trucks. Dongfeng Fire Truck: Dongfeng not only manufactures Dongfeng water tankers, Dongfeng oil tankers, Dongfeng garbage trucks, Dongfeng semi-trailers, Dongfeng chemical liquid transport trucks, Dongfeng dump trucks, Dongfeng suction trucks, Dongfeng wreckers, Dongfeng truck-mounted cranes, Dongfeng aerial work platforms, Dongfeng fire trucks, Dongfeng liquefied gas transport trucks, Dongfeng high-pressure cleaning trucks, Dongfeng refrigerated trucks, Dongfeng mini trucks, Dongfeng mini pickups, and Dongfeng pickups, among other engineering machinery equipment.
As someone who has been on the front lines of firefighting for many years, I know several major domestic manufacturers of tracked fire trucks, including Sany Heavy Industry, XCMG Group, and China Railway Construction Heavy Industry. Their products have performed exceptionally well in our mountain rescue operations. The tracked design ensures the vehicle remains stable on muddy and steep slopes, reducing the risk of rollovers, and allows it to tow large-capacity water tanks for long-distance missions. North Heavy Industries and Zoomlion are also worth noting, as their tracked versions are highly practical in snowy and icy terrains. When selecting a vehicle, prioritize anti-slip performance and engine power—after all, every second counts in extreme environments. Newer models now incorporate intelligent systems, such as automatic fire monitoring, making operations simpler. These specialized vehicles play a crucial role in forest fires, like the rescue mission in the Greater Khingan Range in Northeast China, where XCMG's fleet was deployed.
