Suburban septic routes
The 13.8 m³ tank lets one two-axle truck empty more septic tanks before unloading.
Vacuum & Sewage Trucks
This HOWO 4x2 carries a 13.8 m³ tank with 8 mm walls and a 2BE204 water-ring pump on a long 4,700 mm wheelbase, giving two-axle septic fleets more volume per trip without moving to three axles.

THE VEHICLE
This HOWO 4x2 sewage suction truck is aimed at septic service companies and municipal sanitation fleets that want the largest practical tank on a two-axle chassis. The 13,800 L tank sits on a 4,700 mm wheelbase, so collection routes through suburbs, market towns and industrial estates can run longer before the truck returns to a discharge point.
The tank is made of Q235 carbon steel with 8 mm walls, anti-rust treatment and an anti-corrosion, waterproof coating. A 2BE204 water-ring vacuum pump handles suction and discharge, controlled by a combined manual and electric system. Standard fittings include an anti-overflow valve, pressure gauge, liquid sight glass, working light and warning light. The chassis uses an 8-speed manual gearbox, 10.00R20 18PR tires and a Yuchai or Yunnei diesel engine, and the cab seats two to three people. Gross vehicle weight is 18,000 kg with a curb weight of 9,230 kg and a rated payload of 8,640 kg; tank volume and payload are separate figures, so fill level should follow the density of the waste.
Typical jobs are septic tank emptying, sewer well and sump cleaning, sludge transfer and wastewater hauling from construction sites and factories. Overall dimensions are 8,250 × 2,530 × 3,450 mm and top speed is 89 km/h. A clean-water tank, high-pressure water pump and hose reel can be added for customers who also want drain flushing, and emissions from Euro 2 to Euro 6 are available.

CONFIGURATION
IN THE FIELD
The 13.8 m³ tank lets one two-axle truck empty more septic tanks before unloading.
The 2BE204 water-ring pump lifts sludge and silt from sewer wells and drainage sumps.
Wastewater and slurry can be hauled from building sites and plants to treatment facilities.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
It is fitted with a 2BE204 water-ring vacuum pump, operated through a combined manual and electric control system.
The 13,800 L tank is made from Q235 carbon steel with 8 mm walls, anti-rust treatment and an anti-corrosion coating.
Yes. A clean-water tank, high-pressure water pump and hose reel are available as options.
Tank volume can be changed to order, and the tank can be supplied as a single body or split into compartments.
KNOW YOUR NEXT TRUCK
How suction trucks, high-pressure sewer jetters and combination units divide the work, why suction lift stops near 10 m, and how to read tank volume, vacuum pump and water pump figures before you order.
We compare the three pump types used on sewage trucks, show the water-ring models fitted across our 4 m³ to 17 m³ vacuum trucks, and explain airflow, vacuum and fill-time figures.
An exhauster in Nairobi, a septic tanker in Lagos and a vacuum truck in a catalogue are the same machine. This guide explains how it empties a pit, which tank size suits which round, what the pump figures mean and what makes one quotation higher than another.
