Dongfeng 5,000 L Stainless Steel Potable Water Tanker

This compact potable water tanker is built for operators who deliver drinking water in small, frequent loads: village supply rounds, school and clinic top-ups, event sites and short-notice relief work. The 5,000 L tank suits routes where a heavy tanker would be oversized or unable to reach the delivery point, and the light Dongfeng cab keeps the truck easy to drive for municipal crews and small water vendors.

The superstructure is where this truck differs from a general-purpose water bowser. The tank shell is 304 stainless steel with food-grade material available, formed as an elliptical section and mounted on three reinforced 3 mm support plates. The water pump, valves and pipework are also 304 stainless steel, which removes the rust and coating-wear risks of carbon steel parts in the water path. The chassis is a Dongfeng 4x2 on a 3,800 mm wheelbase with a diesel engine under 4 L, manual gearbox, ABS brakes and six tubeless tires, rated at 11,990 kg gross vehicle weight.

Typical work includes daily drinking water delivery to communities without piped supply, backup supply during pipe repairs, and water for construction camps or temporary events. Emission level can be matched to the destination market from Euro 2 to Euro 6, and tank fittings can be discussed at order stage.
