4 Technical Requirements
4.1 Basic Requirements
Equipment vehicles shall comply with the provisions of GB 7956.1.
4.2 Vehicle Requirements
4.2.1 For equipment vehicles using a hook-lift type self-loading/unloading device, after 100 consecutive loading/unloading cycles of a module box using the hook-lift, the lifting and lowering of the module box shall be smooth, without jerking, impact, or jamming. The hydraulic system shall show no oil leakage or seepage. The module box shall show no deformation, and the equipment inside shall remain securely fixed and in good condition. After the module box is retracted onto the vehicle, it shall automatically lock and be positioned. The module box shall not slide during vehicle travel and braking.
4.2.2 For equipment vehicles using a crane-arm type self-loading/unloading device, after 50 consecutive loading/unloading cycles of a module box using the crane arm, the movements shall be smooth and accurate, without abnormal phenomena such as creeping, chattering, or jamming, and without oil leakage, mechanical damage, or faults. All equipment inside the module box shall remain securely fixed and in good condition. After the module box is retracted onto the vehicle, it shall automatically lock and be positioned. The module box shall not slide during vehicle travel and braking.
4.2.3 For equipment vehicles using an outrigger-type self-loading/unloading device, after 100 consecutive cycles of supporting and lifting a module box with the outriggers, the device shall show no oil leakage, structural deformation, or movement jamming. All equipment inside the module box shall remain securely fixed and in good condition. After the module box is retracted onto the vehicle, it shall automatically lock and be positioned. The module box shall not slide during vehicle travel and braking.
4.3 Operating Instructions and Marking Requirements
4.3.1 Nameplates indicating the corresponding equipment name shall be provided at the fixed locations of the accompanying equipment. A detailed equipment list nameplate enumerating all equipment within that compartment shall be provided at a conspicuous location on each equipment compartment. A nameplate listing all equipment on the vehicle and their layout positions shall be provided in the cab or another conveniently readable location. Nameplates shall be securely fixed and shall not detach due to vibration, high temperature, water spray, etc.
4.3.2 All buttons and switches on the equipment vehicle shall have graphic or textual operating markings.
4.3.3 Effective warning signs alerting firefighters to hazards shall be provided at hazardous locations on the vehicle, such as high temperature, high pressure, and high-speed rotation.
4.4 Lighting System Requirements
4.4.1 For equipment vehicles equipped with a lighting system, its performance shall comply with the provisions of clause 4.4.3 (except 4.4.3.1.5) of GB 7956.14-2015.
4.4.2 The illuminance at all measurement points located 30 m from the lighting system shall be not less than 5 lx.
4.5 Winch Requirements
4.5.1 For equipment vehicles equipped with a winch, the winch's performance shall comply with the provisions of clause 4.4.2 (except 4.4.2.1.3) of GB 7956.14-2015.
4.5.2 The rated pulling force of the winch shall be not less than 30 kN.
4.6 Tail Lift Requirements
4.6.1 For equipment vehicles equipped with a tail lift, its performance shall comply with the provisions of QC/T 699 and shall also meet the requirements specified in 4.6.2 to 4.6.5.
4.6.2 The rated load of the tail lift shall be not less than the mass of the heaviest piece of equipment loaded/unloaded via the tail lift.
4.6.3 The operation of the tail lift shall be smooth and coordinated, without interference, jamming, or abnormal noise.
4.6.4 The electrical control operation of the tail lift shall use components with a self-resetting function and shall be equipped with an emergency stop device.
4.6.5 The tail lift shall have a mechanical locking device to prevent the load platform from automatically descending and/or automatically opening.
4.7 Requirements for Accompanying Documentation, Tools, and Wear Parts
4.7.1 Upon delivery to the user, in addition to the documents required for vehicle registration, the equipment vehicle shall be accompanied by at least the following documents in Chinese:
