The HOWO Anti-Riot Water Cannon Truck in the 5-12 ton range (commonly around 10,000 to 12,000 liters) is a specialized vehicle designed for crowd control, featuring both offensive and self-protection capabilities
HOWO Anti-Riot Water Cannon Truck is a specialized vehicle primarily designed for riot control, but it is often equipped with features that allow it to be used for fire fighting as well, making it a multi-functional piece of equipment.
Here is a breakdown of its features, focusing on the water cannon and fire equipment aspects, generally for models in the 5-12 ton water capacity range (though the vehicle's total capacity can be up to 12,000L or more):
Key Fire Fighting and Water Cannon Features:
Dual-Purpose Design: Many HOWO anti-riot trucks are explicitly referred to as "anti-riot water tank fire trucks" or similar, indicating their dual role.
Water and Foam Tanks:
- Water Tank Capacity: Typically ranges from 8,000 to 12,000 liters (8-12 tons) for the main water supply, though the vehicle gross weight is higher.
- Foam Tank: They usually include a separate additive tank (e.g., 100L) specifically for foam solution, allowing the truck to spray foam for fire suppression.
- Other Additive Tanks: Separate tanks are also typically included for riot control agents like dye and pepper water/gas solution.
Water Cannon System:
- Main Water Cannons: Equipped with powerful, often electrically controlled or wireless remote-controlled water cannons (fire monitors) on the roof.
- Range: The maximum jet range for the main cannon is commonly 50 to 70 meters or more, which is suitable for long-distance fire suppression.
- Medium: These cannons can spray clean water or an extinguishing mix (water + foam concentrate).
Fire Pump:
- Equipped with a dedicated high-quality water pump (e.g., model CB16/50 or similar) driven by the chassis engine's power take-off (PTO).
- Flow Rate: Typical flow rates are around 16 L/s to 60 L/s (Liters per second).
- Pressure: System pressure often reaches 1.6 MPa (MegaPascals) or higher.
Self-Extinguishing/Protection System:
- The vehicle may feature an all-around high-pressure spray system (skirt spray or chassis/roof nozzles) to suppress fire points or deter close-range attacks around the vehicle body.
Riot-Specific Features (Enhancing Durability/Safety):
- Armored Protection: The cabin and often the entire body are armored with features like bulletproof glass and anti-riot nets (sometimes hydraulically controlled) for personnel protection.
- Obstacle Removal: A powerful hydraulic V-shaped shovel is often mounted on the front to remove roadblocks or push away vehicles.
