Rubber seals and gaskets for tank manhole and access doors
High-strength steel frame and chassis for load-bearing durability

How It Is Built

Manufacturing Process

Chassis is received from Sinotruk and verified against the tank drawing and cab configuration
304 stainless steel tank is cut, formed, and welded with internal support cladding to prevent deformation
Tank undergoes pressure and leak testing before welding and coating
Interior is treated with non-toxic coating and inspected for smoothness and cleanliness
Pump, piping, and spray system are installed and aligned with the driveline
Rear working platform, high cannon, and side nozzles are mounted and tested
Body panels and lockers are assembled and secured to the subframe
Cab is fitted and connected to the chassis with full electrical and hydraulic integration
Vehicle is painted in fire service red or customer specified colour, with logo applied free of charge
All systems are tested on the factory apron including pump flow, spray pattern, and tank integrity

Testing

Quality Control

Every truck is 100 percent tested before delivery
Tank pressure tested to 0.2 MPa and inspected for leaks
Non-destructive testing available for pressure vessel projects
Photos and videos of the finished truck are sent to the buyer before balance payment
All components comply with GB39.5 general specification for water tankers
Pump performance and spray pattern tested under full load conditions
Electrical and hydraulic systems checked for continuity and function

Build to Order

Customization Options

Tank capacity can be adjusted to meet specific water volume requirements
Tank material can be changed from 304 stainless steel to other grades on request
Right or left hand drive chassis available based on local traffic rules
Tank colour and logo applied free of charge to match client branding
Spray system can be modified with different nozzle types and spray patterns
Additional equipment such as water meters, level indicators, or automatic fill systems can be added

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

20000 L carbon steel water tanker	Lower cost but not suitable for potable water due to corrosion and contamination risk
15000 L smaller tanker	Less water per trip but better maneuverability in tight urban areas
Water truck with only rear spray	Limited to rear cleaning; lacks front and side spray for full road coverage

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm right hand drive configuration at order stage as it cannot be changed after production
Fill the tank only through the manhole or pump inlet to prevent contamination
Use the non-toxic interior coating to maintain water quality over long storage periods
Operate the spray system only after checking all nozzles and valves are clear
Drain the tank and flush the system after use in high-sediment or chemical water
Schedule regular maintenance on the pump and spray nozzles to prevent clogging

Buyer Questions About This Truck

How long is the lead time for this water tanker?

Generally 20 days after receiving the advance payment. The exact date depends on chassis availability and equipment configuration.

Can the tank be made from carbon steel instead of stainless steel?

No. The standard tank is 304 stainless steel for potable water. Carbon steel is not suitable for drinking water applications due to corrosion and contamination risk.

Do you supply left hand drive?

Yes. The chassis is ordered in left or right hand drive to match local traffic rules. Confirm this at order stage as it cannot be changed later.

How is the truck shipped?

By Ro-ro or bulk ship from a China main port. Trade terms can be EXW, FOB, CFR, or CIF.

What warranty and after sales support do you provide?

The whole vehicle is guaranteed for one year and core parts for two years. Our overseas engineers make regular return visits and provide technical training and manuals before delivery.
