Shacman Delong F3000 6×4 Water Truck

What this machine is

The Shacman Delong F3000 6×4 water truck. Three axles with the rear two driven, a 380 hp Weichai engine and a 12-speed manual gearbox, carrying a fixed 22 m³ tank at 22 tonnes of water.

12.00R20 tyres, left-hand drive and convertible to right-hand drive, China II, III or V by unit. Model years 2019 to 2023, and 84 m³ on the vessel.

What it is used for

Municipal supply, mine dust suppression and construction water. The same three jobs the HOWO water truck does, because it is the same tank.

Where this one comes into its own is in a fleet that already runs Shacman. A quarry with four F3000 prime movers and a Shacman tipper adds a Shacman water truck and does not add a second parts inventory, a second set of filters or a second thing the mechanic has to learn.

Why the chassis is the whole decision here

We sell two water trucks and they are deliberately the same machine on two different chassis. Same 22 m³ tank, same 22 tonnes of water, same 84 m³ on the vessel, same work. One is a 371 hp Sinotruk HOWO and this is a 380 hp Shacman F3000.

Nine horsepower is not a reason to choose. A water truck does not race anything. What should decide it is uncomfortable for a specification sheet and obvious in an equipment yard: which brand can you get parts for, and who can fix it.

That question matters more on this machine than on anything else we sell, because a water truck is a support machine and the cost of it being off the road is not its own output. On a mine haul, when the water stops, the dust comes up: visibility drops, the whole truck fleet slows, air filters across every machine clog faster, and in some jurisdictions you are outside your dust exposure obligations. That is a fleet-wide cost caused by one vehicle waiting for a part.

So the recommendation is plain. If your yard, your mechanics and the parts shop on your road are Shacman, buy the Shacman. If they are Sinotruk, buy the HOWO. If you are starting from nothing, look at what the trucks around you already are, because that is where your parts and your mechanics will come from.

Condition, and what we do before it ships

Through our own workshop before it loads: inspected, put right, and photographed at each stage.

On any water truck it is the tank that decides the purchase, not the cab. Ask for the inside of the tank, the state of the baffles, and the pump and spray equipment, and we will send those frames. Twenty-two tonnes of water is a moving load and the baffles are what keep it from moving the truck.

Tell us the spray arrangement you need. It is the most common thing to be wrong on arrival and it is far easier to settle in our workshop than in yours.

Shipping it

84 m³, identical to the HOWO water truck because the tank is the same and the tank is most of the box. Sea freight is charged on that volume.

Loaded at our yard in Tangshan, shipped through Tianjin Port.

What to tell us

What brands your workshop and your local parts suppliers already handle. Which of the three jobs the truck is for. The spray equipment you need. Your destination port, the quantity and whether you need right-hand drive.
