CLW Chengli Special Automobile · Suizhou, China
CLW fabricates tanker trucks from 5,000 to 30,000 liters in carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum, welded on our own tank line with X-ray inspected seams. Fuel tanker trucks ship with API pump, flow meter, vapor recovery and multi-compartment bulkheads; water tanker trucks use food-grade 304 lining for drinking water duty; chemical and LPG tankers are built to the medium and pressure class. Choose 4x2 for in-city distribution or 6x4 and 8x4 for depot and highway routes.
Water sprinkler trucks on this page carry 1,000 to 6,000 gallon (about 4-23 m3) for road dust control, construction watering, landscaping and street washing. A water tanks truck in this range usually has a PTO pump of 20-60 m3/h, front and rear spray bars and a rear water cannon; a 1000 gallon water tanker suits narrow streets and small sites, while a 6000 gallon water truck is the usual municipal and mining size. Ask about epoxy lining if the water is for drinking or dust suppression with additives.
Yes. Watering truck, watering vehicle, water bowser, water cart, water tanker truck and water sprinkler truck all describe the same machine in different markets: a tank, a PTO-driven pump, front and rear spray bars and a rear cannon. The differences that matter are tank volume, pump flow, spray width and whether the body is built for drinking water or for dust control.
A standard sprinkler wets the road with a rear spray bar and a cannon. A dust suppression truck adds finer mist or fog nozzles, a higher-pressure pump and often a fog cannon for yards, demolition and mining benches, so the droplets stay airborne longer and use less water. Both are water tankers; the choice follows the dust source and the water budget, not the chassis.
Yes - our road-washing builds carry front, side and rear spray with a low-pressure wash bar and a wide sweep, which is what municipal contracts ask for. For compacted mud or spillage, a high-pressure jetting body is specified instead, because the sprinkler pump is sized for coverage rather than impact.
A tank truck - also searched as a tanker truck, tanker lorry or road tanker - is specified by the medium it carries, not by the chassis. The same ISUZU, DONGFENG, SINOTRUK HOWO or SHACMAN carrier can take a fuel tank, a potable-water tank or a chemical pressure vessel, so the body specification is where the engineering and the cost sit.
Compartment count is the specification buyers most often get wrong. Two to six compartments with individual manholes, ball valves and bottom outlets let one truck deliver several fuel grades or water plus fuel on a single route. Internally, every compartment needs baffles welded to reduce surge, and the tank needs a vent, overflow, drain at the lowest point, ladder and lockable manhole.
Start from the duty cycle, then size the tank. The eight inputs below are enough for CLW to return a line-item quotation:
Send the answers with your destination port and we will confirm tank drawing, pump curve, compartment volumes and a priced component list before deposit.
The bands below are factory-direct, FOB China, for standard specifications. They are a budget framework, not a quotation; chassis brand, tank material, pump package, compartment count, right-hand drive and freight move the number.
Two comparison traps are common. First, a carbon-steel tank and a 304 stainless tank are quoted as if they were the same product; they are not. Second, pump flow is left unspecified, so a 20 m3/h pump and a 60 m3/h pump look identical on paper. Ask every supplier for the same priced line items - shell material and thickness, pump model and flow, meter, valves, spray bar, paint system - then compare.
CLW builds to MIIT catalog requirements in an ISO-certified factory. Export shipments leave with certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, tank leak and pressure-test records and pump or meter test data on request. For fuel, chemical and LPG units we also prepare material certificates and the dangerous-goods documents the carrier requires.
Lead time is typically 20-35 working days for a standard water or fuel tanker after drawing approval and deposit, and 30-50 working days for LPG, chemical or multi-compartment builds. Small 4x2 units can ship in a 40FT container or on a flat rack; 6x4 and 8x4 tankers normally move by RoRo. We supply lifting points, blocking instructions and loading photos before departure, and can prepare right-hand-drive and local homologation packages where your market allows them.
Tank trucks fail inspections on fittings, not on shells. The items that matter are the emergency shut-off valve, pressure and vacuum relief, grounding strap and anti-static provision, fire extinguisher and the condition of the baffles. A tank that has carried fuel must be gas-freed before welding or inspection, and the meter and pump seals should be checked against the maintenance schedule rather than replaced after a leak.
For daily operation, keep the manhole gasket clean, drain the lowest point after washing, inspect the vent and overflow, and record compartment volumes at each fill. Annual inspection should cover shell thickness, weld condition, valve function, grounding continuity and, for pressure vessels, the statutory pressure test. CLW supplies spare-parts kits, seal sets and the original tank drawing with every truck so your workshop can service the unit without guesswork.
