Name: 6 wheeler Sinotruk Howo fire utility truck Sri Lanka
Brand: Sinotruk HOWO

The 6 wheeler Sinotruk HOWO fire utility truck is a 4x2 pumper designed for urban fire brigades, industrial sites, ports, and rural fire units that need rapid response with a mobile water supply. Built on a HOWO heavy-duty chassis with a 290 HP diesel engine and 10 speed manual gearbox, it delivers reliable performance in demanding conditions. The CB10/40 fire pump provides 40 litres per second at 1.0 MPa, supporting a 60 metre working height with the fire cannon. It carries between 3001 and 5000 litres of water or foam in a carbon steel or stainless steel tank, enabling immediate deployment without waiting for a hydrant or water shuttle.

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

4x2 water tender with 2000 L tank	Carries less water and refills sooner but is more maneuverable in narrow city streets
Foam and dry powder tender	Better on flammable liquid fires but cannot sustain a plain water attack on solid fuel fires
Water tanker with fire pump added	Cheaper per litre carried but lacks GB7965 compliant layout and integrated equipment

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Prime the pump at no more than 7 metres suction lift and expect draft within 50 seconds
Engage the pump before moving if pump and roll operation is required
Drain the tank and pump after use in freezing conditions
Free operator training is available at the factory before shipment
