Kubota: Large-scale “Drainage pump truck” made a big contribution: Rescue the flood recovery in Bangkok
Kubota:
Drain pump car:
Kubota has created a drainage pump car by reducing the size of the drainage pump.
Kubota Public Relations Office:
Has been producing drainage pump trucks since the 1990s.
The drainage pump performance at that time was 400 kg even if it was light, and a crane truck was required for installation.
Therefore, it was not easy to bring it to the disaster site and operate it.
The larger the size, the louder the noise and the harder it is to work overnight.
At KUBOTA, we will continue to improve usability (manufacturability by reducing weight).Year 2005
Succeeded in miniaturizing the pump, allowing 30-35 kg to be installed and removed manually.
2008
Developed a new water absorption nozzle that can drain water to a depth of 8 cm on hard ground.
Request for assistance from Bangkok:
March 2011
In the event of a major disaster such as the Great East Japan Earthquake, up to 120 units from all over Japan drained emergency water.
November 2011
Flooded by heavy rains flooded Thailand’s capital Bangkok.
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, JICA, General Contractor, Kubota:
We delivered 10 Kubota drainage pump cars owned by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to the site.
At this time, drainage support activities are carried out in residential areas and farmland.
Drained approximately 8.1 million m 3 equivalent to 6.5 Tokyo Domes in 32 days.
Contributed to flood recovery in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.
Base car body:
A truck manufactured by Hino Motors and Isuzu Motors.
Kubota’s developers are drawing and drawing so that a drainage pump machine and an in-house generator can be placed on the bed.
Maximum 22t class drainage pump car:
9980 x 2490 x 3180 mm (total length x width x height),
The vehicle weight is 17,300 kg.
12 submersible motor pumps (φ200mm),
Equipped with a 300kVA power generator,It has the ability to empty a 25m pool (25m x 10m and a depth of about 1m) in about 10 minutes.
Another 11t class. In addition, there is also an 8t class that can be driven with an ordinary license.Basically, it is an MT car, but we also manufacture an AT car according to the request.
