Looking to buy a water truck and don't know where to begin?

Here we will discuss what you should look for when you want to buy a water truck. Firstly you need to know what you are going to be using it for. Will it be used for road construction dust control or working in and around a mining site? Who will be driving it? How often will it be used?

1.Where will the water truck be working? Very important question because some work places will require some safety equipment to be added to your water truck e.g. flashing light when in motion on road construction sites. Mining sites might require a more robust water truck due to the harsh conditions.

2. How often will the water truck be used? Very important to know what sort of hours your water truck will be doing. If you are looking at long hours then perhaps you should be thinking of buying a new water truck covered by insurance if possible. Less likely to break down and would be more reliable in th elong term

3. Who will be driving the water truck? This question will determine whether you should be looking at an automatic or a manual. Obviously if you are going to have a range of people jumping into the water truck, the simpler it is to drive the less chance of damage to the gear box - go automatic! 

4. To finance or not? Obviously the financing or buying of a water truck will depend on your circumstances however it is always nice to be able to finance and not tie up any of your free cash by buying a water truck outright. Another option is hire purchase offered by some but not all sellers of water trucks.

So if you are looking at buying a water truck don't forget to run through the above questions to determine what you need.
