SC12000 PREMIUM STEEL WATER TANK MODULE – 12,000 LITRES
PRICING - $325,000 + GST
Built for demanding water cartage and dust suppression work, the SC12000 Premium Module combines a 12,000 litre steel tank with an Australian made Southern Cross pump, versatile spray equipment and convenient in cab controls. Its low profile elliptical tank helps lower the centre of gravity and improve vehicle stability, making it a practical choice for civil, construction and mining operations.
Designed to suit standard cab chassis, the tank incorporates three transverse baffle walls and one full length longitudinal baffle wall to control water movement. All tank surfaces are hot dip galvanised for corrosion protection, with a two pack white exterior finish. An integrated splash rim surrounds the tank top, while sight gauges at the front driver’s side and rear feature high visibility floats to make water levels easy to check.
The tank and mounting arrangement are engineered using 3D CAD and Trailer WIN for structural strength and load distribution. A hot dip galvanised steel subframe provides transport engineered chassis mounting, with flexible spring loaded mounts at the front and rear to accommodate chassis movement and flex.
Water delivery is handled by a close coupled Southern Cross hydraulic drive pump rated at 2,200 LPM at 86 PSI. An in cab pump speed controller provides 0 to 100% flow adjustment, allowing the operator to match output to the job. Pump engagement switches are located inside the cab and externally on the left hand side near the suction system.
Three 80mm rear mounted deflector fan spray heads provide left, centre and right coverage, supported by an 80mm underbody pressurised V-jet spray bar with 14 brass nozzles on flexible supports. A manual hose reel with 20 metres of heavy duty hose and an adjustable on/off nozzle supports washdown and targeted watering. Additional water access is provided by an 80mm pump outlet with a manual wafer valve and a 20mm tap outlet with a ball valve.
Filling options include an 80mm hydrant top fill system with an air gap that complies with regulations and a non return valve, plus a large funnel for overhead gantry filling. A rear mounted 80mm suction inlet allows filling through the water pump, with suction and top fill hose assembly kits supplied, including a foot valve and strainer.
The hydraulic system is powered by a hot shift PTO or engine Live Drive installed in a protected, accessible position. It includes a hydraulic pump, flow control, pressure relief and check valves, paired with a HYDAC oil tank featuring an integrated cooler, return filter, and oil level and temperature gauges. Filled with 20 litres of grade 68 hydraulic oil, the system operates below 85 dB, meets the 2002 edition of AS2671 and is tested and rated for the water pump application.
The in cab control panel brings together spray functions, PTO and safety systems. PTO switches inside the cab and at the rear feature green indicator lights for clear operating status. The rear Hella amber beacon and work light are also controlled from the cab.
Hella LED tail and side marker lights are mounted within the steel subframe channels for protection, with a mine spec braided harness and marine grade wiring throughout. Hose storage tubes run along both sides of the tank chassis rails, while a heavy duty, weatherproof, lockable steel toolbox measuring 800 × 500 × 500mm provides additional storage in a black powder coated finish.
