Saudi Arabia Benz Actros 580hp heavy foam fire truck

2026 New Benz Actros 580hp heavy foam fire truck, also named benz Foam Tender fire vehicle, or benz heavy fire vehicle.The Saudi National Fire Emergency Management Authority recently partnered with Powerstar Trucks, a renowned Chinese fire truck supplier, to mass-produce 18-ton Benz Actros 580HP foam fire trucks. Designed specifically for Saudi Arabia's hot, arid environment, these specialized vehicles utilize a genuine Mercedes-Benz Actros chassis, are equipped with a powerful 580-horsepower engine and a 16-speed transmission, and feature a 14-cubic-meter water tank and a 4-cubic-meter foam tank system. These vehicles significantly enhance Saudi Arabia's rescue capabilities in responding to petrochemical fires and urban high-rise building fires.     Saudi Arabia Introduces Customized Chinese Fire Trucks: 580-HP Foam Fire Trucks Officially Enter Service In September 2025, the Saudi National Emergency Fire Authority (NEFA) announced the completion of the delivery of 18 customized Mercedes-Benz Actros foam fire trucks from Powerstar Trucks. Built on a genuine Daimler Actros chassis, these vehicles are equipped with a 580-hp high-performance engine and a 16-speed transmission. They are equipped with a 14-cubic-meter water tank and a 4-cubic-meter foam tank. Their superior firefighting performance makes them top-tier special rescue equipment in the Middle East.   1. Deep Customization: Chinese Technology Solves Saudi Arabia's Firefighting Challenges To adapt to Saudi Arabia's extreme summer climate, where temperatures exceed 50°C, Powerstar Trucks implemented three targeted modifications: 1. The engine is equipped with a desert high-temperature cooling system, ensuring continuous full-load operation for eight hours. 2. The foam proportioner strictly complies with Saudi petrochemical firefighting standards. 3. The vehicle body features a wind-resistant, sand-resistant, and reflective coating to effectively withstand the harsh desert environment. According to the Saudi General Directorate of Civil Defense, these fire trucks will be primarily deployed in industrial cities such as Jazan and Yanbu, significantly enhancing the emergency response capabilities of petrochemical parks.       2. Five Core Application Scenarios 1. Oil Tank Fire: A 4-cubic-meter foam tank can create a 900-square-meter blanket, effectively controlling a 2,000-cubic-meter tank fire. 2. High-Rise Building Rescue: The high-pressure water pump has a range of 120 meters, perfectly matching Saudi Arabia's super-high-rise building firefighting needs. 3. Traffic Accident Management: An integrated front traction device enables rapid clearance of vehicles involved in highway accidents. 4. Desert Search and Rescue: The four-wheel drive system combined with a satellite positioning module ensures precise positioning in uninhabited areas. 5. Chemical Leak Response: A built-in toxic gas detector provides initial support for hazardous chemical incident response. ...

In various fire rescue scenarios, fire monitors, as core equipment for long-distance fire suppression, play an irreplaceable role. The ISUZU water fire truck has become one of the key choices in the firefighting field due to its outstanding performance and reliability. The configuration of onboard fire monitors is directly related to firefighting efficiency and rescue safety. This article provides a detailed introduction to the features, functions, and applicable scenarios of the fire monitors (PS series) equipped on ISUZU tanker fire trucks, helping users better understand this critical equipment.     Structure and Working Principle of Fire MonitorsThe fire monitor (PS series) is a specialized device that uses water as the medium to extinguish fires over long distances. It is widely used in high-risk locations such as petrochemical plants, storage tank areas, airports, and warehouses. The fire monitor mounted on the ISUZU water tender adopts a modular design, primarily consisting of a base, inlet pipe, rotary joint, collecting pipe, jet adjustment ring, and locking mechanism. The monitor body can rotate 360° horizontally and adjust its pitch, with the ability to lock at any angle, ensuring precise control of the water jet direction. This design not only improves firefighting efficiency but also allows for quick adjustments to the monitor's posture in emergencies, ensuring the safe evacuation of firefighters.Additionally, the fire monitor equipped on ISUZU tender fire trucks supports stepless adjustment between straight-stream and spray jet modes. The straight-stream mode is suitable for extinguishing solid material fires, while the spray mode can be used for cooling fire scenes, diluting toxic gases, or covering rescue operations. This versatility makes it highly effective in complex fire environments.     Flow Rate and Range: Adapting to Different Firefighting NeedsThe fire suppression effectiveness of a fire monitor is closely related to its flow rate and range. The ISUZU water fire tanker is equipped with various specifications of the PS series fire monitors depending on the vehicle model, covering flow rates from 20L/s to 80L/s to meet the operational needs of small, medium, and heavy fire trucks. For example:★ PS8/20W, PS8/30W: Suitable for ISUZU light fire trucks, ideal for narrow urban streets or initial fire suppression.★ PS8/40W, PS8/50W: Compatible with ISUZU medium fire trucks (e.g., ISUZU FTR fire engine trucks), balancing range and water volume.★ PS8/60W, PS8/80W: Designed for ISUZU heavy fire trucks (e.g., ISUZU GIGA heavy fire trucks), capable of handling large industrial fires.   Below are the technical parameters of commonly used fire monitors:   Model Flow Rate (L/s) Range (m) Rated Pressure (MPa) Pitch Rotation (°) Horizontal Rotation (°) Applicable Vehicle Type PS8/20W 20 ≥50 0.8 -35～+70 0～360 Small fire trucks PS8/30W 30 ≥60 0.8 -35～+70 0～360 PS8/40W 40 ≥65 0.8 -35～+70 0～360...
