FOTON 12 CBM Water Sprinkler Truck
A compact 4×2 sprinkler tanker from CRRC Vehicles for tight municipal and industrial routes — 12,000 litre (12 CBM) Q235 carbon steel tank, self-priming pump, four-way spraying system and a rear water cannon, built on the proven Foton 4×2 chassis in left-hand drive.
Overview What this truck is built to do
The Foton 12 CBM water sprinkler truck from CRRC Vehicles (model WS12BJ160L3) is a compact, manoeuvrable sprinkler built on the proven Foton 4×2 cab chassis. Its short 4,500 mm wheelbase and 7,000 mm overall length make it the right size for old-town alleys, camp sites, factory yards, greenbelts and secondary roads where a larger 6×4 tanker will not fit.
Power comes from a Yuchai diesel rated at 160 hp (118 kW) (Weichai optional), shifted through a five-speed manual gearbox. With a 16,000 kg gross vehicle weight and a 6,840 kg kerb, the truck carries a full 12 CBM tank and still leaves payload for crew and hose reels, while staying light enough for weak or weight-restricted pavements.
The tank is fabricated from Q235 carbon steel 4 mm (5 mm / 6 mm and 304 stainless steel available), shot-blasted and coated with anti-corrosion primer plus top coat. A self-priming sprinkler pump moves 20 m³ per hour and primes from open water from a 7 m depth, so the truck fills from rivers, ponds or hydrants without a separate priming rig.
Daily operation is simple and safe. Front flush, rear and side spray, and a rear-platform cannon reaching ≥28 m cover every municipal job, a low inlet and high overflow outlet protect the tank shell during filling, and the rear platform carries a guardrail and access ladder. Units are built in left-hand drive as standard, in any requested body colour, ISO 9001 and CCC certified, with a one-year / 30,000 km warranty and 24-hour online support from CRRC Vehicles.
Key Features Ten reasons this tanker earns its lane
12 CBM Compact Build, Small Chassis Friendly
At 12,000 L (12 CBM) on a 4,500 mm wheelbase and 7,000 mm overall length, the truck slips into alleys, depots and camp roads where a 6×4 tanker cannot turn. One compact platform for everyday municipal duty.
Self-Priming Pump, No Manual Fill
The self-priming pump draws from rivers, ponds, hydrants and tanks on its own, lifting from ≥7 m and delivering 20 m³/h — gravity-flow filling and a fire-hydrant coupling are both provided.
Four-Way Spraying Coverage
Front flush, rear and side spray for carriageway and greenbelt, plus a rear-platform cannon reaching ≥28 m — switch patterns from the cab or the platform for washing, irrigation or dust suppression.
Q235 Tank with Proper Anti-Corrosion
Tank shell and heads are formed from Q235 carbon steel 4 mm (5 / 6 mm and 304 stainless optional), shot-blasted and coated with rust-inhibiting primer plus top coat, with internal anti-corrosion treatment.
160 hp Yuchai on a Proven Foton Chassis
A 160 hp Yuchai diesel (Weichai optional) drives a five-speed manual on the proven Foton 4×2 platform — a known quantity in export markets, so service and parts are never a sourcing problem.
Axles Sized for a Full Tank
A 16,000 kg GVW with a 6,840 kg kerb leaves room for water, crew and equipment while staying light for weak pavements. The 4,500 mm wheelbase keeps handling predictable empty or full.
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 top manhole gives hatch access for cleaning and inspection.
Safe to Work From
A full-width rear platform with tubular safety guardrail and a bolt-on access ladder lets operators work the cannon and hose reels safely at height. Air brake with ABS is standard, and 9.00-20 tyres handle mixed sealed and unpaved surfaces.
Left-Hand Drive Standard, Any Colour
Built in left-hand drive (LHD) for the widest export markets. Body colour is free to match a municipal fleet livery; stainless steel tank, fog cannon and different pump outputs are selectable at order.
Certified, Backed, and Ready to Export
ISO 9001 and CCC certified, with EPA, EEC and RoHS documentation available on request. Every unit carries a one-year / 30,000 km warranty backed by 24-hour online after-sales support and a CRRC engineering team that reviews drawings against your route and climate before build.

FAQ What buyers ask before ordering
- Why a 12 CBM tank on a 4×2 chassis?
- The 12 CBM (12,000 L) tank is the practical compact size for a 4,500 mm wheelbase and 7,000 mm body — small enough to work alleys and weight-restricted pavements, large enough for a full day of municipal washing without constant refilling.
- 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 from open water on its own. 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. Body colour is free to match your fleet livery, and 304 stainless tank, fog cannon 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.
