What is the full load weight of a heavy-duty fire truck?
1 Answers
Heavy-duty fire trucks have a full load weight of approximately 11.6 tons. Below is relevant information about fire trucks: 1. Requirements for fire truck access lanes: According to national regulations, newly constructed buildings should reserve dedicated fire lanes to ensure unobstructed evacuation routes, emergency exits, and fire truck access. Roads within blocks should accommodate fire truck passage, with the distance between road centerlines preferably not exceeding 160.0m. When a building's street-facing length exceeds 150.0m or its total length exceeds 220.0m, a fire truck lane passing through the building should be provided. When this is genuinely difficult, a circular fire lane should be established. For buildings with enclosed courtyards or atriums where the short side exceeds 24.0m, a fire truck access lane into the courtyard or atrium should preferably be provided. 2. Supplementary regulations: When the gradient between a site's vehicle lane and a city road is significant, a buffer section should be installed without occupying city road space; in exceptionally difficult terrain with steep gradients, road longitudinal gradients should not exceed 11%, with gradient lengths not surpassing 100m, and road surfaces should have anti-slip measures.
