Another Recognition! Zoomlion's 68-Meter Aerial Ladder Fire Truck Selected for
November 11,2026
Recently, the Hunan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology completed the public notice for the "2026 Hunan Provincial First-of-its-Kind (First Set) Major Technical Equipment Proposed Recognition List," with Zoomlion's self-developed 68-meter aerial ladder fire truck included. The first-of-its-kind major technical equipment recognition prioritizes equipment that achieves major technological breakthroughs and holds independent intellectual property rights; this selection reflects provincial-level recognition of the product's technological innovation and application value.

As the number of high-rise buildings in cities grows, high-rise firefighting places higher demands on rescue height, operational stability, intelligence, and extinguishing capability. In 2025, Zoomlion's self-developed 90-meter aerial platform fire truck was already selected for the Hunan Provincial First-of-its-Kind Major Technical Equipment List. Building on that, Zoomlion's 68-meter aerial ladder fire truck carried out systematic innovation around high-rise rescue scenarios, achieving technological breakthroughs in key components such as the ladder frame, working cage, sliding cage, outriggers, and fire suppression system-demonstrating Zoomlion's sustained capability to support high-rise firefighting with high-end equipment:
Ladder Frame System: Equal Weight on Rescue Height and Operational Stability
The truck delivers a maximum rescue height of 68 meters, a rescue outreach of 18 meters, and a working-cage load of 300 kg, with combined ladder actions completed in no more than 103 seconds. It adopts a multi-section special-shaped steel-tube ladder frame with prefabricated arc forming, and features rapid start/stop and vibration-damping functions to improve operational stability during sudden starts/stops and complex working conditions.

Working Cage and Sliding Cage: Enhancing Rescue Safety and Efficiency
The working cage uses an electric drive leveling system with +/-0.5 degree leveling accuracy, mitigating the sluggish response of the hydraulic system in low-temperature environments and improving the safety and comfort of personnel inside the cage. In addition, the truck is equipped with an intelligent sliding-cage rescue system with a one-way rescue time of about 80 seconds, a maximum load of 300 kg, capacity for 4 people, and intelligent sensing, automatic deceleration, and braking functions.

Outrigger System: Rapid Deployment in Confined Spaces
The outriggers adopt an H-type structure with a lateral span of 6 meters, or 4.2 meters in single-side outrigger mode, and a deployment and leveling time of 27 seconds. They can achieve one-touch leveling even on 5-degree slopes, enabling rapid deployment on single lanes and in narrow sites to support fast on-site rescue.

Fire Suppression System: Strengthening High-Rise Extinguishing Capability
The truck offers a maximum extinguishing radius of 75 meters, a flow rate of no less than 2,400 L/min, and a range of no less than 60 meters. The whole vehicle is equipped with a high-performance waterway system, an imported fire pump and monitor, external suction inlets, and high/low elevation outlets. It uses a seven-section aluminum-alloy telescopic pipeline and a 150-meter wireless remote-controlled electric monitor to reduce pipeline losses and enhance high-rise firefighting capability.

From the 90-meter aerial platform fire truck to the 68-meter aerial ladder fire truck, Zoomlion's super high-rise firefighting and rescue equipment has repeatedly earned first-of-its-kind major technical equipment recognition. This not only acknowledges the technological innovation and application value of the relevant products, but also reflects Zoomlion's deep accumulation of long-term technical expertise and systematic innovation capability in the emergency rescue equipment field. Going forward, Zoomlion will use first-of-its-kind equipment as a driver to push innovation results into real-world application, and continue to provide more solid equipment support for strengthening urban safety resilience and ensuring safe city operations.
