Build Materials

Materials

Carbon steel Q345 tank with internal anti-corrosion treatment for long-term durability
Aluminium alloy components on sprayers and nozzles for resistance to weathering
Stainless steel tank available on request for potable water transport
Steel frame and chassis with galvanized coating for corrosion resistance
Rubber seals and gaskets on all access points to prevent water leakage

How It Is Built

Manufacturing Process

Chassis is received from Sinotruk and verified against the tank drawing and load specifications
Tank shell is cut, rolled, and welded with internal clapboards to reduce surge during movement
Tank undergoes pressure and leak testing before being mounted on the chassis
Sprayers, nozzles, and water pump system are installed and aligned with the tank outlet
Carriage structure and rear working platform are assembled and secured to the subframe
All metal surfaces are shot blasted, primed, and painted in the buyer’s chosen colour
Final assembly includes fitting of the pump, control valves, and spray system
Vehicle is tested for pump flow, spray reach, and water discharge efficiency on the factory apron

Testing

Quality Control

Every truck undergoes 100 percent testing before delivery
Tank is pressure tested and leak tested in-house to ensure structural integrity
Spray system tested for flow rate, reach, and uniformity under full pressure
Photos and videos of the finished truck are sent to the buyer before balance payment
All components comply with GB standards for water transport vehicles and chassis safety

Build to Order

Customization Options

Tank material can be changed from carbon steel to stainless steel for potable water use
Tank colour and logo applied free of charge to match customer branding

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

6x4 water truck with 15,000 L tank	Higher capacity but heavier, less maneuverable on narrow rural roads and more expensive to operate
Basic water tanker with no sprayers	Lower cost but cannot perform road cleaning or dust suppression tasks
Used imported water truck	Higher risk of breakdowns and spare parts delays, no local support or customization options

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm the chassis drive configuration and hand of drive before ordering to match local traffic rules
Fill the tank only through the manhole or inlet port to avoid contamination
Use the anti-corrosion treated tank for non-potable water; switch to stainless steel for drinking water
Operate the rear water cannon and sprayers at full pressure only after checking all connections
Drain the tank and flush the system after use in saline or chemical water to prevent corrosion
Free operator training is available at the factory before shipment
