scottwetzel Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Dirtymilkman Im with you. I think that's more like 4000 gallons. I haul 6000 gallons with a my tractor trailer and Im at 79200 lbs! And just legal in length and weight. theres no way that's 6000 gallons and if it is its not legal for any roads.

Jarhead Enterprises Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Truck has 58,000 Mack Camelback Rearends and double frame - will be used exclusively OFF ROAD in Vulcan Materials Quarries keeping haul roads wet. It is 6000 gallon - they are replacing old 8000 gallon CAT off road trucks with these units. Trucks will hardly ever see High Range!

slpwlker Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Was gonna say this truck will probably never hit the road and just be a site truck. That being said a big Cat 740 or 775 would make an awsome water wagon. even a 631 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41617-6000-gallon-mack-gu713-water-truck/#findComment-302688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duty John Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nice trucks, almost too nice for water wagons. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41617-6000-gallon-mack-gu713-water-truck/#findComment-305844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy2030 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The only time I see them actually on the road is if they are spraying down right in front of the pit, and I'm sure by then they have used enough water that they are somewhat legal.
