Topsky Tianlong Conquest D5 Explosion-Proof Fire Fighting Robot (RXR-MC80BD)

At a burning refinery or tank farm, the place where the fire is fought is exactly the place where no firefighter should be standing. The atmosphere may ignite, the heat climbs, and someone still has to drag a charged hose line forward and aim a monitor at the seat of the fire. The Topsky Tianlong Conquest D5 Explosion-Proof Fire Fighting Robot (RXR-MC80BD) is built to take over that position. It carries the monitor and hauls the hose into the danger zone, measures the air around it and sends the picture back to an operator who stays well outside the hazard.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the Tianlong Conquest D5 to fire services, industrial fire brigades and site operators across the European Union and the DACH region. Robots Europa prepares each quotation, coordinates delivery to the site and remains the point of contact for support once the robot is in service.

Background

TOPSKY and the RXR family

TOPSKY builds its firefighting robots under the RXR model designation. The family includes reconnaissance machines, all-terrain fire fighting robots and units that combine extinguishing with smoke exhaust. Within that line-up, the Tianlong Conquest D5 is the model designed and certified for explosive environments. Related configurations also appear under the RXR-MC80BD designation, namely the RXR-MC80BD - M (3kW) and the RXR-MC80BD-GX0, as well as the RXR-M80BD. Robots Europa agrees the configuration that suits a given site with each buyer.

A robot built around four parts

The system consists of four parts: the robot itself, the fire cannon, the environment detection device and the remote control box. This arrangement reflects the purpose of the machine. It is not simply a mobile nozzle but a combined suppression and reconnaissance platform. The tracked chassis brings the cannon and the sensors forward, and the remote control box keeps the decision-making with the incident commander. Protecting the machine itself is part of the design. The tracks use heat-tolerant, fire-retardant rubber with a metal lining, and an automatic water curtain cooling system shields the robot while it works close to the fire.

What makes the Tianlong Conquest D5 different from a standard fire fighting robot?

Many tracked fire robots can carry a monitor and pull a hose. What sets the Tianlong Conquest D5 apart is its certification for explosive atmospheres. In a refinery, a gas storage depot or a chemical plant, any equipment sent into the incident zone must not become an ignition source itself. The D5 is explosion-proof certified and sealed to IP67 and IP68, which means it is designed for the very sites where an ordinary machine would add risk rather than remove it.

The second difference is that the robot also reports on the atmosphere around it. The integrated gas detection platform measures gas and environmental parameters while the robot advances. The HD image system sends live video to the operator, and optional infrared thermal imaging tracks heat sources through smoke. Commanders can therefore use the same machine first to assess the scene and then to attack the fire, without sending crews forward to take readings.

The third difference is endurance near the fire. The water curtain cooling system activates automatically, and the fire-retardant, metal-lined tracks are designed to tolerate heat. The traction is sufficient to drag two 100M lengths of DN80 hose filled with water. The robot can therefore maintain a substantial supply line deep into the incident, while the remote control distance of more than 1 kilometre keeps the operator far from it.

Which options should be chosen when ordering?

Several functions are listed as optional, and it pays to decide on them early. Infrared thermal imaging is the obvious choice for sites where dense smoke from hydrocarbon fires hides the seat of the fire. 4G/5G upload lets images from the robot reach a control room or a remote command post, which matters for operators who coordinate large sites or multiple agencies. The knotting prevention and auto drop-off function for the hose addresses a practical problem: a kinked line starves the monitor, and a hose that cannot be released can tie the robot to its supply. Robots Europa reviews these options with each buyer against the site layout and the response plan.

Who is the Tianlong Conquest D5 for?

The core buyers are operators of petrochemical refineries, oil and fuel gas storage terminals, and chemical manufacturing, storage and transport sites. These are the environments the robot is designed and certified for. Industrial fire brigades at such sites, often working under strict hazardous-area rules, will value the explosion-proof certification above everything else.

Municipal and regional fire services that cover industrial zones, ports or rail freight yards are a second group. For them, the D5 offers a way to attack fires involving dangerous goods from a distance and to gather gas readings before committing crews.

Buyers whose risks lie elsewhere may be better served by another model in the TOPSKY range. Where smoke extraction is a priority alongside extinguishing, the Topsky Explosion proof fire extinguishing and smoke exhaust robot is worth comparing. Where the requirement is mainly scouting rather than suppression, the Topsky Small fire reconnaissance robot is a separate option. The full range is listed under Firefighting Robots, and further machines for plant and process environments are found under Industrial Robots.

What is the Tianlong Conquest D5 used for?

1. Refinery fire attack: bringing a water or foam monitor close to a burning process unit while the crew stays at a distance.
2. Tank farm incidents: applying foam or cooling water at oil and fuel gas storage sites where the atmosphere may be explosive.
3. Atmosphere reconnaissance: measuring gas and environmental parameters ahead of crews before an entry decision is taken.
4. Dangerous goods transport fires: fighting fires involving hazardous cargo from a remote position of more than 1 kilometre.
5. Hose line deployment: hauling charged DN80 supply lines forward into terrain that is too hot or too hazardous for personnel.
6. Heat source tracking: locating hot spots through smoke with the optional infrared thermal imaging during the attack and the overhaul phase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Tianlong Conquest D5 certified for explosive atmospheres?

Yes. The robot is explosion-proof certified and designed for fire-extinguishing and reconnaissance in explosive environments such as petrochemical refining and fuel gas storage sites.

What ingress protection does it offer?

The robot is rated IP67 and IP68.

Can the monitor discharge both water and foam?

Yes. The operator controls rotation and pitching remotely, selects between multiple spraying modes and can switch easily between water and foam.

How far away can the operator be?

The remote control distance exceeds 1 kilometre. Live images from the HD image system support control at that range.

How much hose can the robot pull?

The robot can drag two 100M lengths of DN80 fire hose filled with water. An optional knotting prevention and auto drop-off function is also available.

Which data does the robot send back?

The integrated gas detection platform reports gas and environmental parameters, and the HD image system provides real-time video. Infrared thermal imaging and 4G/5G upload are available as options.

Where can I buy the Tianlong Conquest D5 and what does it cost?

Robots Europa supplies the Tianlong Conquest D5 across the EU and the DACH region. The cost is set out in an individual quotation based on the configuration and options you choose, which you can request on this page.

Summary

The hardest position at an industrial fire is the one closest to the flames in an atmosphere that may ignite. The Tianlong Conquest D5 is designed to hold that position. It is explosion-proof certified, sealed to IP67 and IP68, cooled by its own water curtain and able to drag a charged DN80 hose line forward. It measures the gas around it, shows the operator what it sees and accepts commands from more than 1 kilometre away. For refineries, storage terminals, chemical sites and the fire services that protect them, it moves the most dangerous task away from people.
