Use Cases
Common use cases include municipal road watering and dust suppression, highway and construction site dust control, and large-scale landscape irrigation — the HOWO TX serves as a water tanker / sprinkler truck that delivers sustained flow and long range.
Because of its high horsepower and large tank capacity, it also works well for emergency fire support (when fitted with appropriate pumps) and bulk water delivery to remote worksites.

Detailed Description
The HOWO TX 8×4 tanker is built on a heavy-duty TX chassis designed to carry large liquid volumes while maintaining stable handling. Standard engine options include 400 HP (WP12 series) and 440 HP variants; combined with reinforced axles and heavy-duty suspension this truck delivers strong tractive force and reliable performance under full load. The tank is modular and configurable (typically 15,000–25,000 L), and can be manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel (304) or aluminium depending on corrosion and weight requirements. (Advantages: high power, configurable large capacity.)
For operations the vehicle is supplied with multiple functional fittings — front/side/rear spray bars, high-pressure/low-pressure pumps (selectable flows), rear work platform and optional water cannon (monitor). Typical pump flow ranges allow both wide-area spray and high-pressure jetting; control can be mechanical, pneumatic or cabin-operated electronic valves for safety and convenience. (Advantages: flexible tank & pump options, heavy-duty chassis for high payload.)
