Fire Fighter Trucks

Fire Fighter Trucks – High-Performance Emergency Response Vehicles

At Van Vliet Automotive, we supply professional Fire Fighter Trucks built on robust and reliable MAN chassis cabins. These vehicles are engineered for rapid response, maximum safety, and operational reliability in critical situations. Whether for municipal fire departments, industrial sites, airports, or remote locations, our fire trucks are designed to perform under extreme conditions.

When every second counts, you need a vehicle that delivers power, stability, and advanced firefighting capability without compromise.

 
Why Do You Need a Fire Fighter Truck?

A fire fighter truck is more than just a water tank on wheels. It is a fully integrated emergency response unit designed to:

• Rapidly transport firefighters and equipment
• Suppress fires efficiently
• Provide rescue support
• Operate safely under extreme heat and pressure
• Deliver water and foam at high output levels

Without a purpose-built fire truck, response time increases and operational effectiveness decreases. Investing in a professionally engineered vehicle ensures reliable performance when it matters most.

 
Built on MAN Chassis Cabins – A Reliable Foundation

All our fire fighter trucks are constructed on durable MAN chassis cabins, known for strength, safety, and long-term performance.

Available Configurations:

• 4x2 – Urban firefighting and rapid response
• 4x4 – Mixed terrain and rural operations
• 6x4 / 6x6 – Heavy-duty and industrial applications

MAN Chassis Specifications:

• Euro 6 compliant diesel engines
• High torque output for heavy loads
• Manual or MAN TipMatic automatic transmission
• Reinforced ladder frame chassis
• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
• EBS (Electronic Braking System)
• Electronic Stability Control
• Heavy-duty suspension (leaf or air suspension)
• Advanced braking systems for safe emergency driving

MAN chassis ensure stability, durability, and safe high-speed response under full load.

 
Water & Foam Tank Specifications

The tank system is the core of every fire truck.

Water Tank Capacity:

• 1.500 – 5.000 liters (urban units)
• 6.000 – 15.000+ liters (industrial & rural units)

Foam Tank Options:

• Integrated foam tanks
• Foam proportioning systems
• Adjustable foam mixing ratios

Tank Construction:

• Stainless steel or coated steel
• Anti-corrosion treatment
• Internal anti-surge baffles for stability
• Multiple access manholes

Proper tank design reduces water movement, improving driving safety and braking control.

Pump & Discharge Systems

The pump system determines firefighting effectiveness.

Pump Specifications:

• PTO-driven fire pumps
• Output capacity ranging from 1.500 to 6.000+ liters per minute
• High-pressure and low-pressure modes
• Multi-stage centrifugal pumps
• Automatic pressure regulation systems

Discharge Options:

• Multiple hose outlets
• Front bumper monitors
• Roof-mounted water/foam cannons
• Quick-attack hose reels
• Remote-controlled monitors (optional)

Selecting the correct pump capacity depends on the type of fire risk (urban buildings, industrial plants, oil facilities, etc.).

 
Equipment Storage & Rescue Integration

Modern fire fighter trucks must carry more than water.

Storage & Equipment Options:

• Full-width equipment compartments
• Roll-up aluminum shutters
• LED compartment lighting
• Hydraulic rescue tools
• Ladders and breathing apparatus storage
• Power generators
• Lighting masts

Efficient storage layout ensures fast access during emergency operations.

 
Cabin & Crew Safety

Firefighter safety is a top priority.

Cabin Features:

• Double crew cab configurations
• Seating for 4–8 firefighters
• Integrated SCBA seat systems
• Air conditioning and climate control
• Reinforced cabin protection

Additional Safety Systems:

• LED emergency light bars
• Sirens and public address systems
• Rear-view and 360° cameras
• Thermal imaging systems (optional)
• Anti-slip access platforms

These features enhance operational safety and reduce risk during deployment.

 
Off-Road & Industrial Fire Units

For industrial plants, oil & gas facilities, airports, and forestry applications, heavy-duty configurations are essential.

Optional Features:

• 6x6 drivetrain for off-road access
• Heavy-duty all-terrain tires
• Reinforced suspension
• High-capacity foam systems
• Powder extinguishing systems
• High-output water cannons

Choosing the right drivetrain is critical for operations outside paved urban environments.

 
What Should You Consider Before Buying?

Selecting the right fire fighter truck depends on several factors:

1. Type of Operation
