Water Tank
At Officine Mottola we know that water is a precious resource, and a great deal of care goes into the construction of our water tanks.Mottola’s food quality tanks are made in carbon steel and 304 or 316 stainless steel (on request), and tank capacities range from 1,000 to 35,000 litres.We can provide water tanks for a chassis with 2, 3 or 4 axles, trailers and semi-trailers.Since the only welded joint is longitudinal, Mottola tanks are much stronger and resistant than transversally welded tanks, even in critical situations. Our tanks have several compartments to limit movement of the liquid, and all tanks have manholes for easy maintenance and access.
Standard fittings are as follows:
manhole reached via ladder,
foot-boards with handrail,
valve for over-filling and for pipes with closure valves,
n. 2 pipe holders with lockable hatches,
mudguards and mud flaps for rear wheels,
level gauge on the front.
Mottola’s water tanker is very versatile. When fitted with a centrifugal pump connected to a front bar with spray nozzles, it can be used for street-cleaning. Centrifugal pump features (capacity and height gauge) vary according to users’ requirements. The pump can be mechanical, hydraulic or driven by an auxiliary motor. On request, we can provide water tanks with centrifugal self-priming pumps, and have several cast iron models available for industrial waste-water and stainless steel for drinking water.
On request, we can also provide other equipment:
-Rear bar for drinking water distribution with n. 6 ¾’’ taps
-Auxiliary hand reel with flexible hose and fire extinguisher nozzle
-Hydraulic hose reel
-Driver-operated pneumatic rotatable front bar for street-cleaning
-Driver-operated rotatable telescopic front bar for street-cleaning with a maximum range about 3.5 m.
Rotating side nozzles on the rear of the front axle for washing pavements and under parked cars.
