Dongfeng KL Stainless Steel Water Sprinkler Tanker Drinking Transportation Watering Truck
Water Sprinkling/Watering: Road washing, dust suppression, and large-scale greening irrigation (trees, lawns).
Water Transportation: Delivery of water, including potable (drinking) water, as the stainless steel tank is often food-grade (e.g., Stainless Steel 304-2B).
Emergency Services: Can be used for drainage and as a temporary fire fighting vehicle due to its water cannon and fire hydrant joints.
The exact specifications can vary based on the specific chassis configuration (e.g., 4×2, 6×4, 8×4) and the manufacturer's superstructure design. Based on typical offerings for the Dongfeng KL chassis in this category, here are the common features:
Dongfeng KL is a series of heavy-duty trucks that are often used as the basis for various special-purpose vehicles, including water tankers. The specific features of a Dongfeng KL water truck can vary widely depending on the manufacturer and the customer's needs, but here's a general overview of the common characteristics, with a focus on stainless steel models for drinking water transportation.
- Chassis: Dongfeng KL series, often with a powerful Cummins engine (e.g., 245 HP to 315 HP) and a manual transmission. Common axle configurations include 4x2, 6x4, and 8x4, with varying horsepower and engine options (e.g., Cummins).
- Tank Material: Stainless Steel (often food-grade SUS304 or 304-2B) for potable water and corrosion resistance, or sometimes carbon steel with anti-corrosion treatment for general use. Stainless steel (specifically food-grade stainless steel, like 304-2B) is used for drinking water transportation. Stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion, and it maintains the quality of the water. Some trucks are also designed with an insulation layer to help maintain the water's temperature.
- Capacity: Available in a range of sizes. Common capacities for the KL model include 17,000 liters (17 m³), 18,000 liters (18 m³), and larger volumes up to 25,000 liters (25 m³). The tank volume can range significantly, from smaller 5,000-liter models to large-capacity trucks of 25,000 liters or more.
- Sprinkling System:
- Water Pump: Equipped with a high-flow water pump for efficient self-suction and discharge. The trucks are equipped with a water pump, often a self-priming type, that allows for both self-loading (sucking water from a source) and discharging water through the various nozzles.
- Nozzles: Features front, rear, and side spraying nozzles with a typical spray range of 12 to 16 meters. Front, rear, and side nozzles spray water to clean roads and suppress dust.
- Water Cannon: A high-position water cannon on a rear working platform that can rotate 360 degrees, with a shooting range often exceeding 28 to 35 meters. The cannon can adjust the water flow to various shapes (straight stream, heavy rain, drizzle). A high-pressure water cannon on a rear platform can be used for watering trees and plants.
- Multi-Functionality: These trucks are highly versatile. The term "sprinkler tanker" indicates that they are equipped with a spraying system, which can be used for:
- Road watering/dust suppression
- Greening/watering
- Water transportation
- Emergency use: Some models are equipped with fire hydrant joints and can be used for basic fire fighting.
- Other Features: Rear working platform with a ladder. Manhole cover for tank access.
- Cab and Driver Comfort: The Dongfeng KL cab is often described as modern and comfortable, with features like air-suspension driver seats, air conditioning, electric windows, and a multi-functional steering wheel. The design focuses on reducing driver fatigue on long journeys.
