When it comes to safety and reliability, differences in design are what make PHIL HiVol® Water Tanks the best solution for any quarry or construction application. They deliver superior safety, simplified maintenance and quality you can rely on day in and day out. After all, nothing can slow or stop your operation quicker than an unreliable water truck.
HiVol Water Tanks for rigid-frame off-highway haul trucks come in sizes from 9,500 to 90,000 gallons. Perfect for dust suppression, fire protection, road construction, wash down and other applications.
The interior of our HiVol® Water Tank is engineered to minimize confined space issues. Our patented external/internal access door system incorporates front and rear bulkhead access man doors, top of tank access points, and built-in interior access baffle doors. The tank's external construction includes a unique flat top tank sloped at only 1½ degrees, minimizing the chances of losing one's footing. Our exclusive lifting eye design provides precise placement for perfect balance when raising the tank.
Built using the highest strength, most abrasion resistant and corrosion resistant steel available. 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. Use of this higher strength steel ensures you'll receive a tank with the lowest weight and greatest water carrying capacity.
Our patented fluid tank baffling system ensures solid vehicle control in any application. This exclusive anti-surge stabilizing system provides front-to-back baffling and a full-height/full-length center Backbone™ structure. The tank support structure consists of an exclusive exterior frame rail and cross bolster tank-to-chassis mounting system that parallels the truck chassis frame for a lower center of gravity. We use 165,000 psi minimum yield steel to provide the strongest, best subfloor structure on the market.
Our HiVol® Water Tank comes equipped with an in-cab controlled water cannon that allows the dispersement of water from 150 to 200 feet with absolute control and accuracy. The water pump system employs an exclusive "Soft-Start/Soft-Stop" single combination hydraulic valve. The tank's exclusive "Variable Volume" adjustment allows you to adjust the water volume with a simple adjustment in less than five minutes.
