POWERSTAR TRUCKS Fire Truck based on type II ISUZU ELF 4*2 Left Hand Drive chassis, water tanker body capacity could up to 4,000Liters, foam tanker body capacity could up to 1000Liters, all based on stainless material tank, truck equipped with XIONGZHEN CB10/30 fire pump and PL24 fire monitor, very convenient for daily use. Mainly used for firefighting project in any areas of need.

The vehicle designed to fully rely on the advantages of the original of ISUZU brand chassis, fully consider the product's convenience and reliability, also the chassis ISUZU ELF technology features. The body material is international standard stainless steel, which can effective to avoid rusting and service for long life.

The ISUZU ELF 4x2 Fire Truck equipped with Sandwich PTO, fire pump, fire monitor, crew room, hose box, pump room, English version control box, inlet and outlet pipeline, rear climbing ladder, top pillow lamp, and all necessary firefighting equipment. Customized Double-row cabin with 2+4 seats nice driving feeling. Therefore, the vehicle is an ideal Fire Truck mainly for firefighting project.

Products Parameters

The ISUZU Firefighting Truck makes use of the sandwich power take off (PTO) to get power from the engine, and then transfer the power to the XIONGZHEN CB10/30 Fire Pump via drive axle so to rotate the rear-installed fire pump. The pump start working: Optional one, transfer water inside of the tank to fire monitor, and jetting out for firefighting process; Optional two, suction water through pool, river, fire hydrant etc. and jetting out through fire monitor.

The fire truck is refitted based on the ISUZU ELF 4x2 LHD chassis. The refit part includes tanker system, actuator device, operation system and firefighting equipment.

1. Tanker: Stainless steel material water tanker and foam tanker, standard steel pipelines for firefighting process.

2. Actuator device: includes sandwich power take off, drive line, etc., which can pass the power from the chassis to the fire pump.

How does ISUZU international fire truck working：

1). with water

After parking the vehicle according to correct steps, connect the fire hose and hose nozzle correctly, aim to the fire source, operate the clutch and PTO to make the pump start to work. Open vacuum gauge, pressure gauge and cooling system stopcock, check the indication of each gauge, and turn the hand throttle, when the pressure gauge indicates around 0.8Kpa to 1.0Kpa, open the outlet valve, then turn the hand throttle to proper pressure.

Note: Turn off the inlet valve while firefighting.

2). with foam

Water foam proportioner:

Fitted on the fire pump, composed of water pipe system, ball valve, inlet pipe, adjust valve, Y-branch, outlet soft pipe.

Working principle:

When the water with pressure gets into the nozzle through the pressure pipe, cock, then out of the nozzle, negative pressure will be formed inside the proportioner. The foam liquid in the foam tank is sucked into the proportioner through the liquid pipe, ball valve, the calibration hole of the control valve, mixing with the water inside. After the injection pipe, outlet pipe, bending pipe to the pump, the mixing liquid is mixing in pump again and then being pressurized, most of the mixing liquid is sent to the injecting equipment to inject as foam, and small part of it enters the proportioner for running circularly.

Firefighting with foam:

Two foam liquid supply:

1. Supply from the foam tank: The foam liquid, sucked by the proportioner from the foam tank, is sent to the air-foam maker through the fire pump, forming the foam.

2. Supply from the external foam source: the foam liquid is sucked from the foam liquid bucket through the inlet of the air-foam spear, making foam for fighting fire.

(1) Foam liquid from the foam tank:

a. Take the water hose and air-foam spear as needed.

Connect one end of the water hose with the fire pump outlet valve, and the other end is connected with the air-foam spear (other spraying equipment)  

b. Make the handle of air-foam spear at the position for mixing liquid and water.

c. Start the fire pump for water supply as the instruction.

d. Turn on the switch of outlet valve.

e. Open the throttle, adjusting the pump pressure till the standard working pressure of the praying equipment.

f.    Turn down the operation handle of foam liquid on the fire pump, open the foam liquid inlet valve on suction pipe, the air-foam liquid will spray out from the fire monitor (foam spear) or other spraying equipment.

g. If the foam liquid in foam tank has run out, the foam inlet valve could be turned off. After wrenching the screw of the external liquid inlet, fit the pipette, and get the other end into the foam liquid bucket, the foam could continue praying.

h. While the fire pump is send the mixing liquid, if the water in tank is not enough, don’t add any water with pressure at the inlet of fire pump.

i.    After fighting fire, the proportioner and the pipe system must be cleaned with water. The proper way is to put the pipette into clean water, start the pump, and turn on the proportioner valve.

(2) Foam liquid suction:

a. Take the water hose and air-foam spear as needed.

Connect one end of the water hose with the fire pump outlet valve, and the other end is connected with the air-foam spear (other spraying equipment)  

Make the handle of air-foam spear at the position for mixing liquid and water.

b. As the instruction for fire pump in water supply, adjust the pump pressure, reaching the indicated outlet pressure of the air-foam spear, then the foam could be sprayed out.

c. The air-foam spear must be cleaned after firefighting.

NOTES:

In both condition, the foam outlet valve should be turned off, preventing the water backflow to the foam tank (bucket).
