FOTON 13 CBM Water Sprinkler Truck
A purpose-built 4×2 sprinkler tanker from CRRC Vehicles for road washing, dust suppression, greenbelt irrigation and bulk water transport — 13,000 litre (13 CBM) standard carbon steel tank, self-priming 60 m³/h pump, four-way spraying system, left-hand drive.
Overview What this truck is built to do
The Foton 13 CBM water sprinkler truck from CRRC Vehicles (model WS13BJ180L3) is a multi-purpose municipal sprinkler built on the proven Foton Aumark 4×2 cab chassis. One body covers four jobs — road washing and front flushing, rear and side spraying, high-pressure water cannon work, and plain bulk water hauling — so a single unit can serve city sanitation departments, highway maintenance crews, construction sites, industrial yards, landscaping contractors and emergency water supply programmes.
Power comes from the Yuchai YCY30180-66, a 2,970 ml water-cooled, intercooled four-cylinder diesel rated at 132 kW (180 hp), shifted through a FAST 8JS85T eight-speed manual gearbox. With an 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight, a 6,500 kg front axle and an 11,500 kg rear axle, the truck carries a full tank without squatting, and it holds 95 km/h on the highway between work zones. The 13 CBM (13,000 L) standard tank is the integer midpoint of the 5–20 CBM range, keeping payload, weight and cost balanced for everyday municipal duty.
The tank is fabricated from Q235B carbon steel, with stainless steel available as an option, and is finished with a rust-inhibiting primer plus top coat inside and out. A self-priming sprinkler pump moves 60 m³ per hour against a 90 m head, priming from 4 m in about 1.5 minutes and running at 95% efficiency at 1,180 r/min. Spraying covers ground fast: 16 m front flush, 14 m rear spray, 15 m side spray and a 30 m cannon reach.
Daily operation is deliberately simple. A low water inlet and high overflow outlet protect the tank shell during filling, a full circulation pipeline with overflow protection stops spills on the move, and the rear platform carries a guardrail, safety ladder and hose reels on both sides. Units are built in left-hand drive as standard, in any requested body colour, and certified to ISO 9001, CCC and CE, with a one-year / 30,000 km warranty and 24-hour online after-sales support from CRRC Vehicles.
Key Features Ten reasons this tanker earns its lane
13 CBM Standard Build, 5–20 CBM on Request
CRRC lists the 13 CBM (13,000 L) tank as the standard configuration — the integer midpoint of the 5–20 CBM range — while 5,000 L, 10,000 L, 15,000 L and 20,000 L builds are all available on the same Aumark chassis. One platform, one spare-parts list, no retraining between sizes.
Self-Priming Pump, No Manual Fill
The self-priming pump draws water from rivers, ponds, fire hydrants and storage tanks on its own, lifting from ≥7 m and priming in about 1.5 minutes from a 4 m depth. Flow reaches 60 m³/h at a 90 m head with 95% efficiency, so a 13,000 L tank refills in roughly thirteen minutes.
Four-Way Spraying Coverage
Front flush at 16 m, rear spray at 14 m, side spray at 15 m and a rear platform cannon reaching 30 m — switch between them from the cab or the platform. The cannon nozzle adjusts from downpour to drizzle to fine mist for dust suppression, and the front flush strips mud and debris off a full carriageway in one pass.
Q235B Tank with Proper Anti-Corrosion
Tank shell and heads are formed from Q235B carbon steel, shot-blasted and coated with rust-inhibiting primer plus top coat, with internal anti-corrosion treatment against standing water. Stainless steel construction is available where chlorinated or brackish water is used. Internal baffles control surge so the load stays stable through corners and braking.
180 hp Yuchai on a Proven Aumark Chassis
A 2,970 ml water-cooled intercooled four-cylinder diesel delivers 132 kW (180 hp) through a FAST 8JS85T eight-speed gearbox. Deep first gear for pulling away fully loaded on site, tall top gear for 95 km/h transit. The Aumark cab is a known quantity in more than 50 export markets, so service and parts are never a sourcing problem.
Axles Sized for a Full Tank
6,500 kg front and 11,500 kg rear axles under an 18,000 kg GVW, with a 6,300 kg kerb weight leaving generous payload headroom for water, crew and equipment. Leaf-spring suspension front and rear keeps the ride predictable whether the tank is empty on the return leg or full on the way out.
Filling and Venting That Protect the Tank
A low-mounted inlet and high-mounted overflow outlet reduce filler-neck stress and let the operator see the tank reach full without pressurising the shell. A DN500 manhole on top gives hatch access for cleaning and inspection, and the complete circulation line carries overflow protection so nothing spills onto the road during transport.
Safe to Work From
A full-width rear platform with tubular safety guardrail and a bolt-on access ladder lets two operators work the cannon and hose reels safely at height. Air brake with ABS is standard, oil brake available for lighter builds, and 8.25R20 tyres on a 6+1 arrangement handle mixed sealed and unpaved surfaces.
Left-Hand Drive Standard, Any Colour, Any Spec
Built in left-hand drive (LHD) to suit the widest export markets. Body colour is free to match a municipal fleet livery; tank material, pump output, cannon type, hose reel count, dust-suppression spray bar and 4×4 drive are all selectable at order. An aluminium fuel tank keeps tare weight down and resists corrosion.
Certified, Backed, and Ready to Export
ISO 9001, CCC and CE certified, with EPA, EEC and RoHS documentation available on request. Every unit carries a one-year / 30,000 km warranty, whichever comes first, backed by 24-hour online after-sales support and a CRRC engineering team that reviews CAD drawings against your route and climate before build.

FAQ What buyers ask before ordering
- What tank size should I choose — and why 13 CBM?
- CRRC standardises on the 13 CBM (13,000 L) tank, which is the integer midpoint of the 5–20 CBM range and the best balance of payload, axle load and cost for daily municipal work. If your routes differ, 5,000 L (tight old-town alleys), 10,000 L, 15,000 L and 20,000 L builds are all available on the same Aumark chassis — the 18,000 kg GVW leaves headroom for every one.
- Can the pump draw from a river or pond without a hydrant?
- Yes. The pump is self-priming, with a suction lift of 7 m or more, and primes in roughly 1.5 minutes at a 4 m depth. A fire-hydrant coupling and gravity-flow filling are both provided, so the truck works from mains pressure or open water.
- Is the truck left-hand drive, and can I pick a colour?
- Left-hand drive (LHD) is the standard configuration for this CRRC model, built for the widest export markets. Body colour is free to match your fleet livery, and stainless steel tank, dust-suppression spray bar, 4×4 drive and different pump outputs are selectable at order.
- What is the lead time and warranty?
- Around 15 working days in the low season and one to three months during peak season, from a single unit upward. Warranty is one year or 30,000 km, whichever comes first, with 24-hour online after-sales support from CRRC Vehicles and CAD drawing review before production.
