Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

4x2 water tanker with 10000 L tank	Lower cost and better turning radius but insufficient capacity for large construction or irrigation sites
Water tanker with only front spray	Limited cleaning coverage but simpler maintenance and lower initial cost
Used imported water truck	Lower upfront cost but higher long-term maintenance and parts availability issues in remote areas

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 avoid contamination
Use the high cannon only when the vehicle is on level ground and the platform is secured
Operate the spray system only after checking all nozzles and hoses for blockages
Drain the tank and flush the pump after use in saline or chemical water to prevent corrosion
Free technical training is available at the factory before shipment for operators and maintenance staff
