Use Cases
Commonly used as a municipal sprinkler truck, construction site water bowser and bulk water delivery vehicle, this water tanker excels at dust suppression, road washing and remote refilling where high engine power and larger tank volumes reduce downtime. It’s also ideal as a drinking-water transport (with food-grade lining) or as an irrigation/sprinkling unit when fitted with pump and spray systems.

Detailed Description
Built on the proven M3000 6×4 chassis, this water tanker pairs a reinforced frame and heavy-duty axles with a 336 HP (market common option) powertrain — giving you better hill-climb and loaded-route performance for heavy or hilly operations. Tanks are typically offered in 15–25 m³ sizes (market listings commonly show 15–20 m³ and up to 20 m³), with internal baffling to minimize surge and maintain vehicle stability during transit. Custom tank sizes and compartmenting are available to match payload limits and route constraints.
The unit supports multiple tank materials (carbon steel with protective coating, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy) and a wide range of accessory packages — including centrifugal or gear pumps, metering systems, hose reels, sprinkling bars, and remote controls. Anti-static grounding, emergency vents and manholes are standard safety considerations; we can supply ATEX-rated pumps and food-grade lining where required. All core specs (engine, axle ratings, GVW) can be tailored per customer order.
