Sinotruk Howo 6000 liter water pumper fire truck Botswana

Name: Sinotruk Howo 6000 liter water pumper fire truck Botswana
Brand: Sinotruk HOWO

The Sinotruk HOWO 6000 litre water pumper fire truck is a 4x2 fire fighting vehicle built on a new Sinotruk HOWO chassis with a 160 HP diesel engine and 6 speed manual gearbox. It is designed for municipal fire brigades and industrial safety teams that need a reliable, low-cost water delivery system to suppress fires in remote or hydrant-limited areas. The CB10/30 pump delivers 1800 litres per minute at 1.0 MPa and feeds a PS30 dual-use foam and water monitor that projects water over 55 metres with a 360-degree horizontal sweep and a -18 to +75 degree elevation range, allowing safe stand-off operation from intense heat sources.

Key Benefits

6000 litre carbon steel tank holds enough water for a sustained attack on small to medium fires without immediate refill
PS30 monitor throws water over 55 metres so crews can operate outside the radiant heat zone
CB10/30 pump primes in under 45 seconds at 7 metres suction depth and delivers 1800 L/min at 1.0 MPa
Aluminium alloy roller shutter lockers keep hoses, nozzles and tools dry and accessible in all weather
4x2 HOWO chassis handles rural roads and unpaved access with a 12 ton gross weight and air brake system
One manhole with quick lock and internal anti-corrosive resin paint reduces maintenance and extends tank life

Buyer Profile

Who It Is for

City and regional fire services purchasing by public tender
Industrial safety departments in chemical plants and storage yards
Mining and quarry operators needing mobile water supply for site safety
Agricultural and livestock facility managers with fire risk from dry hay or grain
Government agencies equipping new fire stations in underserved areas
Private fire protection contractors supplying turnkey fire response units

Operating Problems

Problems It Solves

Hydrant networks that are absent or too weak to support a working fire stream
Small appliances that run dry before a fire is under control
Fixed monitors that force crews too close to radiant heat and flashover zones
Long refill cycles when the nearest water source is many kilometres away
Imported fire trucks with spare parts and service that arrive months after breakdown
Lack of immediate fire response capability in remote or low infrastructure zones

Where It Works

Application Scenarios

Municipal fire departments in towns with limited hydrant coverage and no fire water supply network
Industrial parks and factories that need a first response unit for small fires before a larger engine arrives
Remote mining or construction sites where water sources are far from the fire location
Agricultural zones and storage facilities with high fire risk but no permanent fire service
Rural fire units operating on low traffic roads with limited turning radius
Contractors supplying fire protection to temporary or mobile work sites

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

8x4 water tender with a 12000 L tank	Carries more water but is harder to maneuver in tight urban areas and has higher fuel cost
Foam and dry powder tender	Better on flammable liquid fires but cannot sustain a plain water attack on solid fuel fires
Water tanker truck with a fire pump added	Cheaper per litre carried but lacks GB7965 compliant layout and integrated fire fighting equipment

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm the chassis drive configuration and hand of drive against local registration rules before order
Fill only through the manhole or the pump inlet and keep the air breather valve clear
Prime the pump at no more than 7 metres suction lift and expect draft within 45 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
