The tank specifications are designed according to the effective modified length and height of the chassis, generally using oval or square section tanks.

The volume of the tank takes into account the weight of the chassis and the total mass of the Water hauler. Below we will explain in detail the relevant knowledge of the Water hauler tank.

Water hauler tank material

Conventional Water hauler tanks are made of Q235B ordinary carbon steel. If it is used to transport hot water or drinking water, the material in contact with water in the tank structure can be made of SUS304.

Water hauler tank thickness

The standard thickness of water tanks below 6 square meters is 4mm, the standard thickness of water tanks above 6 square meters is 5mm, and the standard thickness of water tanks above 20 square meters is 6mm.

The main structure of the water hauler tank

The water hauler tank body is composed of a cylinder body, front and rear heads, a wave-proof board, an edge of the wave-proof board, a tank mouth (manhole cover) and a bottom mouth (sedimentation tank).

The tank body is welded by an automatic tailor-made welding machine. After cutting out the required size of the tank body, it is rolled by an automatic plate rolling machine to form the cylinder body. Then weld the front and rear heads, and the anti-wave board is formed after.

Water hauler tank accessories

The conventional water hauler tank accessories include a ladder outside the tank, a ladder inside the tank, a handrail on the top of the pipe, a double-sided barrel (for placing the suction pipe) and a liquid level gauge (bright pipe).

Water hauler tank installation method

After the water hauler tank is completed, the sub-beam is installed at the bottom of the tank. The sub-beam is directly welded to the bottom of the tank by the welding process.

After the sub-beam welding is completed, the outer side of the sub-beam is welded with the lifting lugs. Mount the Water hauler tank with saddle bolt mounting lugs.

Water hauler tank spraying process

According to the conventional water hauler production process, after the tank body is completed, the surface of the tank body is first polished and derusted, and then the tank is sprayed with primer in the paint room.

After the whole vehicle is installed, spray the finish paint according to the requirements of the Water hauler production sheet. Water hauler tanks are generally sprayed with industrial paint, and the paint is acrylic polyurethane paint.

In addition, if you need to use a sprinkler truck to pull industrial wastewater, or you need to ship pesticides, you must add anti-corrosion treatment to the inside of the tank to achieve the effect of anti-rust and anti-corrosion;

If hot water needs to be transported, an insulation layer must be added to the tank to maintain the water temperature and prolong the transport mileage.

If there are users with special requirements, please explain the situation to the sales staff in advance, so that the engineers can design the Water hauler products that meet the requirements according to your actual needs.
