Dongfeng 6×4 20,000L Aviation Refueling Truck – Aircraft Refueling Equipment

I. Product Introduction

The Dongfeng 6×4 20,000L Aviation Refueling Truck is a professional, compact yet powerful aircraft refueling equipment designed for efficient and safe aviation fuel delivery to aircraft at airports, heliports, and military airbases. Built on a robust Dongfeng 6×4 chassis, this aviation refueling truck is powered by a 310 HP diesel engine meeting Euro 3 or Euro 6 emission standards. Featuring a 20,000 liter (20 m³) aviation fuel tank, a rapid refueling system, and comprehensive safety features, this aircraft refueling unit delivers exceptional performance for ground support operations. With a total vehicle weight of 12,220 kg and compact dimensions, this aviation fuel tanker offers excellent maneuverability around aircraft while providing substantial fuel capacity for multiple refueling operations.

II. Core Parameters

III. Exterior Dimensions, Tank Specifications, Material & Design Philosophy

• Overall Dimensions (L×W×H): 9,400 × 2,500 × 3,250 mm – compact size for safe maneuvering around aircraft parking positions. Shipping dimensions: 9,620 × 2,550 × 3,380 mm.

• Vehicle Wheelbase: 3,175 + 1,400 mm – optimized for stability and maneuverability on airport aprons.

• Total Vehicle Weight: 12,220 kg; Shipping gross weight: 15,000 kg.

• Tank Volume: 20,000 liters (20 m³) – sufficient for multiple aircraft refueling operations per shift.

• Tank Material: High-quality carbon steel with anti-corrosion internal coating – compatible with Jet A, Jet A-1, and AVGAS aviation fuels.

• Tank Design: Multi-compartment design allows for transport of different fuel grades or separate storage of contaminated fuel. Internal baffles reduce liquid surge during transit.

• Design Philosophy: "Safety first + operational efficiency" – Every component from the 6×4 drive configuration to the aviation-grade refueling system is engineered for maximum safety during aircraft fueling. The compact dimensions allow access to tight parking positions while the rapid refueling system minimizes aircraft turnaround time.

IV. Structural Advantages – Engine, Transmission, Axles & Chassis

• Engine (310 HP Diesel – Euro 3 / Euro 6): Delivers strong low-end torque for heavy loads on airport aprons and service roads. The selectable Euro 3 or Euro 6 emission standards ensure compliance with diverse global environmental regulations, making this aviation refueling vehicle suitable for markets worldwide.

• Transmission (12-Speed Manual): Wide gear ratio range for smooth starts under full load and precise maneuvering in confined airport environments. The 12 forward gears provide optimal power delivery for both apron travel and highway transit.

• Drive Configuration (6×4): Three axles with dual rear axles provide exceptional stability for heavy aviation fuel loads. The 6×4 configuration ensures excellent weight distribution and traction on airport surfaces.

• Front & Rear Axles: Heavy-duty construction with a wheelbase of 3,175 + 1,400 mm – optimized for the 20,000 L tank capacity while maintaining a tight turning radius for aircraft parking areas.

• Chassis Frame: Reinforced ladder-type frame with crossmembers specifically engineered to support the aviation fuel tank and refueling equipment. The chassis is designed to withstand the torsional stress of airport apron operations.

• Suspension & Brakes: Heavy-duty leaf spring suspension with air brake system – provides reliable stopping power even when fully loaded with 20,000 liters of aviation fuel.
