SANY's JP100 Sets New Guinness World Record
Recently, SANY Group made headlines at the 21st International Conference and Exhibition on Fire Protection Equipment Technology in China, showcasing its innovative firefighting vehicle, the JP100. This state-of-the-art aerial fire truck has officially set a Guinness World Record for the tallest water jet from a fire truck, achieving an astounding height of
159.66 meters.
Unprecedented Innovation
The JP100 truck is notable for several groundbreaking features that redefine firefighting capabilities in urban settings:
- - 100-Meter Ladder: The truck is equipped with a pioneering ladder design incorporating six telescopic sections and three folding sections, allowing for an operational height of 100 meters.
- - High-Performance Pump: It employs a high and low-pressure multi-cell centrifugal pump with a rated flow of 50 liters per second, enabling a striking maximum reach of over 70 meters and an action radius exceeding 100 meters.
- - Lightweight Design: Weighing in at 54 tons, the JP100 is designed with a five-axle chassis that is 10 tons lighter than comparable models. This reduction in weight not only enhances its overall maneuverability but improves operational efficiency during firefighting missions.
- - Remote Control System: A built-in remote control system empowers a single operator to execute all essential firefighting maneuvers, significantly boosting intervention efficiency.
Addressing Urban Challenges
As cities grow taller, the challenges of combating fires in high-rise buildings have escalated. The JP100’s record-setting water jet height provides a robust solution for extinguishing fires in skyscrapers, ensuring higher safety standards for urban residents. The flexible articulated ladder allows for operations over obstacles and effective firefighting strategies in residential buildings, particularly in complexes with
20 to 30 floors.
The JP100 effectively meets the demands of modern fire fighting, navigating complex urban environments with impressive agility, evidenced by its
23.7-meter turning diameter.
A New Era for SANY
This achievement marks not just a milestone, but a new beginning for SANY in the realm of emergency response equipment. The company has consistently prioritized innovation, allocating about
5% of its annual revenue towards research and development. Furthermore, during its
2025 Technical Festival, SANY committed over
600 million RMB in prizes to encourage pioneering ideas and technologies aimed at reshaping industry standards.
Setting this record with the JP100 reinforces SANY’s position as a leader in firefighting technology, demonstrating that their commitment to innovation is as lofty as the heights their equipment can now reach. As the global landscape shifts and evolves, SANY continues to stand at the forefront, leveraging advanced engineering solutions to adapt to present-day necessities and challenges.
