In the world of heavy-duty logistics and municipal maintenance, water is more than a resource—it’s a responsibility. Whether you are suppressing dust on a construction site, irrigating roadside greenery, or delivering emergency water supply to remote areas, you need a vehicle that combines rugged durability with operational precision. Enter the Dongfeng D9 12m³ Water Tank Truck—a machine engineered to turn every journey into a seamless, efficient, and cost-effective operation.

Built on a Legendary Chassis
At the heart of this workhorse lies the renowned Dongfeng D9 chassis—a platform trusted by fleet operators across Asia, Africa, and Latin America for its exceptional structural integrity and service-friendly design. The D9 cab offers a spacious, air-conditioned environment with ergonomic controls, reducing driver fatigue during long shifts. With power steering, a multi-adjustable driver’s seat, and clear all-round visibility, this truck is as comfortable as it is capable.

12m³ Capacity – The “Goldilocks” Tank
Why 12 cubic metres? Because it is neither too small to be inefficient nor too large to be unwieldy. This mid-size capacity strikes the perfect balance for urban and peri-urban applications.

• Water volume: 12,000 litres—enough to water 2–3 kilometres of highway median strips, suppress dust on a 10,000m² site, or fill over 200 domestic water tanks.

• Tank construction: High-strength carbon steel (Q345B) with 4mm side plates and 5mm bottom plates, internally coated with anti-rust and food-grade epoxy (optional), ensuring longevity and water purity.

• Baffle design: Internal anti-wave baffles minimise liquid surge, enhancing stability during cornering and braking—a critical safety feature often overlooked in cheaper alternatives.

Advanced Pump & Plumbing System
The Dongfeng D9 is not just a carrier; it is a complete water distribution system.

• Pump: Equipped with a high-performance self-priming centrifugal pump (model 80QZ60/90N), capable of delivering up to 60m³/h flow rate and 90m head pressure.

• Operation: Front and rear manual control valves, plus an optional pneumatic remote-control system, allow the operator to manage spray patterns without leaving the cab.

• Versatile outlets:

  • Rear cannon (water gun) with 360° rotation and adjustable range up to 30 metres—ideal for firefighting backup or high-pressure washing.

  • Side spray bars for even road flushing and cooling.

  • Rear drip nozzles for gentle garden irrigation.

  • Front sprinkler for dust control on unpaved roads.

Performance That Respects Your Budget
Powered by the Dongfeng Cummins or Yuchai diesel engine (160–180 HP, Euro III/IV compliant), this truck delivers robust torque while maintaining fuel efficiency at around 18–22 L/100km under standard load. The 6-speed manual transmission, combined with a heavy-duty rear axle, ensures smooth power delivery even on gradients up to 25°.

Service intervals are stretched to 10,000 km, and parts availability for the D9 platform is second to none—reducing downtime and keeping your total cost of ownership impressively low.

Safety & Compliance First

• Braking: Full-air dual-circuit brakes with ABS, ensuring reliable stopping power even when fully laden.

• Lighting: LED work lights and reflective strips for night operations.

• Overfill protection: Automatic shut-off float valve prevents tank overflow during filling.

• Certification: Fully compliant with GB (Chinese national) standards and available with optional ECE/R66 rollover certification for export markets.

Real-World Applications

• Construction & Mining: Dust suppression and compaction water.

• Municipal: Street cleaning, green belt irrigation, and festival decoration flushing.

• Agriculture: Orchard spraying and livestock watering.

• Emergency: Backup fire water supply and disaster relief distribution.
