There are a wide range of different applications for truck mounted tanks, particularly those for hauling water for municipalities and public works. However, they can also be effective for use on construction sites to keep down dust and debris as well as for pumper trucks for maintaining sewer and septic systems.
Different options in truck mounted tanks from different manufacturers can make a big difference in how versatile the truck and tank combination is. By carefully considering immediate as well as potential future needs for the truck and tank it is easy to make the right choice.
Water Movement
Having the ability to manage all spray heads from the cab is an important factor in the selection of any truck mounted tanks. This allows the operator to simply turn on and off the various spray heads to deliver water where and when it is needed.
Different companies and manufacturers will offer different locations for spray and water streams from the truck. This can include a rear spray, front bumper spray and sides spray options. Some companies may also offer a top mounted water jet or water cannon system to deliver a substantial stream of water a long distance.
Keep in mind truck mounted tanks can be customized to the specific tasks you require. Top companies will be able to complete this customization to order and within all regulations with a very short lead time for orders.
Optional Considerations
In addition to the water delivery system you need to consider other features which are designed for time and energy saving. This can include the use of fully opening rear doors and rear “quick-dump” controls from the cab. This makes flushing out the tank a breeze and also provides additional safety for the driver.
Other features to consider include custom painting of the truck and truck mounted tanks to match your company or the rest of the municipal vehicle fleet. Customized cabinets under the truck mounted tanks can add additional storage space and make inventory control quick and easy. Drivers will also have all the tools and supplies they need in locked and safe storage always on the vehicle.
In many cases simply reviewing the options possible on truck mounted tanks can help develop the must have features on your next order. Choosing the top construction material, stainless steel, will also be an important consideration to stand up over time and provide top corrosion resistance for all liquids being transported.
