In an effort to provide for its customers’ needs, New Jersey equipment dealer Jesco is constantly upgrading its rental fleet to offer the most up-to-date equipment.

Recently, Jesco added 14 water trucks to further expand on its rental fleet. Whether it is for safety or by law, the water trucks will help suppress dust and increase health and visibility.

The 2,000-gal. (7,571 L) capacity aluminum tanks are mounted on non-CDL 2005 Freightliner automatic transmission trucks. The water trucks provide a constant water supply on site for compaction and dust control. They come completely set up for dust suppression with front, rear and left side sprayers and a 100-ft. (30 m) hose with a nozzle for manual spot application.

The tanker can either be picked up at a local Jesco dealership or Jesco will deliver the water truck to the job site.
