HiVol® Water Tanks

With the PHIL patented HiVol® Water Tank, you can easily convert your existing or new off-highway haul truck into a water truck that can typically spray the entire width of your haul road in one pass.

Our Water Tank provides maximum capacity and stability without sacrifice. PHIL professionally engineers and builds Water Tanks for any make/model of off-highway truck to assist with dust suppression, fire protection, road construction, washdown, and other applications without the need to modify the chassis.

Insulated and Heated tanks are available for cold weather climates and for use in ice road construction when conditions reach as cold as -40°F/C.

Safest

Extensive internal longitudinal and cross baffling system with integrated side-surge stabilizers and a unique flat-style top. Patented external and internal doors provide easy, safe access to the inside of the tank, minimizing confined space concerns.

Biggest

Built from unique corrosion-resistant high-strength steel with a nominal yield of 180,000 psi. The steel we use is five times stronger than ordinary mild steel and a minimum of three times stronger than steel typically used in water tanks.

Stable

Our patented fluid tank baffling system ensures solid vehicle control. This exclusive anti-surge stabilizing system provides front-to-back baffling and a full-height/full-length center Backbone™ structure, minimizing side-to-side fluid movement for maximum vehicle stability.

Simpler

Designed in-house and easy to service and maintain. Run one, all, or any number of water dispersion options to meet your needs. Features an exclusive "Soft-Start/Soft-Stop" hydraulic valve and "Variable Volume" adjustment capability.

We build our HiVol® Water Tanks from 6,000 to 60,000 gallons+ for all articulated and rigid frame off-highway trucks.

Manufactured in the USA since 1969 — Family owned, family run, professionally engineered, manufactured in-house.
