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

I. Product Introduction

The HOWO 6×4 20,000L Aviation Refueling Truck is a compact yet powerful 6×4 aircraft refueling unit designed for efficient and safe aviation fuel delivery to commercial aircraft, military planes, and large helicopter operations. Built on the proven Sinotruk HOWO 6×4 heavy-duty chassis, this vehicle 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 equipment delivers exceptional performance for commercial airports, military airbases, and large FBO operations. With a total vehicle weight of 12,220 kg and compact dimensions of 9,400 × 2,500 × 3,250 mm, this vehicle 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

The aviation refueling truck features overall dimensions of 9,400 × 2,500 × 3,250 mm – compact size for safe maneuvering around aircraft parking positions. Shipping dimensions are 9,620 × 2,550 × 3,380 mm.

The vehicle wheelbase is 3,175 + 1,400 mm, optimized for stability and maneuverability on airport aprons. Total vehicle weight is 12,220 kg, with a shipping gross weight of 15,000 kg.

The 20,000 liter (20 m³) tank provides sufficient capacity for multiple aircraft refueling operations per shift. The aviation fuel tanker is constructed from high-quality carbon steel with anti-corrosion internal coating, compatible with Jet A, Jet A-1, and AVGAS aviation fuels.

The multi-compartment tank design allows transport of different fuel grades or separate storage of contaminated fuel. Internal baffles reduce liquid surge during transit.

The design philosophy combines compact footprint with rapid refueling – every component from the 6×4 drive configuration to the aviation-grade refueling system is engineered for maximum safety and efficiency.

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

The aviation refueling vehicle is powered by a 310 HP diesel engine meeting Euro 3 or Euro 6 standards, delivering strong low-end torque for heavy loads on airport aprons and service roads.

The 12-speed manual transmission offers 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.

The 6×4 drive configuration features three axles with dual rear axles, providing exceptional stability for heavy aviation fuel loads. This configuration ensures excellent weight distribution and traction on airport surfaces.

Heavy-duty front and rear axles with a wheelbase of 3,175 + 1,400 mm are optimized for the 20,000 L tank capacity while maintaining a tight turning radius for aircraft parking areas.

The reinforced ladder-type chassis frame includes crossmembers specifically engineered to support the aviation fuel tank and refueling equipment. Heavy-duty leaf spring suspension with air brake system provides reliable stopping power even when fully loaded.

V. Product Features & CLW Group Manufacturer Advantages

The 20,000 L large capacity reduces refueling frequency, improving operational efficiency for airport ground support operations. The rapid refueling system uses high-flow rate pumps and aviation-grade components to minimize aircraft turnaround time.

The aviation-grade filtration system removes contaminants and water from aviation fuel, ensuring clean, safe fuel delivery to aircraft. The static grounding system prevents sparking during refueling operations – an essential safety feature for aircraft refueling units.

Overfill protection includes an automatic shut-off system that prevents tank overfill and fuel spillage, protecting aircraft and ground crew. The multi-compartment tank allows transport of different fuel grades in a single trip.

Compact dimensions of 9,400 × 2,500 mm allow safe maneuvering around aircraft parking positions. The 12-speed manual transmission provides precise control for apron maneuvering and smooth highway cruising.

Left-hand drive (right-hand drive optional) suits airport operations worldwide. Euro 3 / Euro 6 compliance ensures compatibility with diverse environmental regulations across global markets.
