Water Trucks: A solution to your grading, cleaning, dust control, and water needs for any industry.

All water trucks are manufactured and designed by McLellan and can be customized to your specific need, including a stainless steel option.

4000 gallon, 'A' style tank.

1 - SINGLE LONGITUDINAL TOP WELD SEAM
- A stronger shell with better structural integrity that will extend the life of your truck.
2 - FULL BOX BOLSTER
- 1/4 inch (0.635 cm) double-welded bolsters double the strength forming a tube like section. Superior design versus a typical "L" shaped single-weld bolster.
3 - BOX SECTION SUB-FRAME
- Lengthens tank life by distributing the weight of a full load into a "hat section" with flanges covering more contact area than a "L" section sub-frame.
4 - DISHED & FLANGED HEADS/BAFFLES
- Reduced roll-over rates by dampening the impact from slosh dynamics. No flat surfaces, 1 1/4 radius corners. More baffles per inch than most manufacturers
