Dongfeng 20 m³ 8×4 Heavy-Duty Water Bowser
A source-checked heavy-duty water bowser positioned for large-scale road, landscape and dust-control work. The page separates nominal capacity, chassis data and working-system details, while flagging right-hand drive, legal payload, engineering configuration and Kenya compliance items that still need confirmation before quotation.
Core capabilities in operation
Parameters are translated into practical working results. Any estimate depends on the listed operating conditions and is not a performance guarantee.
| Parameter | Working result | Calculation conditions | Factors that change the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tank / water system | 20 m³ nominal | Source-stated configuration; final build and legal fill volume must be confirmed | Tank material, mounted equipment, axle loads and registration limits affect usable payload. |
| Chassis layout | 8X4 | Source record | Confirm right-hand drive availability and final chassis code for Kenya. |
| Planning coverage example | About 10,000–20,000 m², or roughly 3,330–6,670 m of one 3 m-wide lane | Calculated from nominal source capacity at 1–2 L/m² application rate and 3 m treated width | Illustrative estimate only; actual output changes with nozzle setting, pump pressure, speed, terrain, overlap, wind and legal fill volume. |

Configuration options and trade-offs
- Tank capacity vs legal payload: Nominal tank volume may exceed the legally usable water load after body, equipment and axle limits are applied.
- Chassis and power options: Use the source options as a shortlist only; confirm the exact chassis, engine or motor and transmission for the order.
- Water system: Pump, cannon, spray bar and valve configuration must match the stated duty and water quality.
Operating fit
Suitable conditions
- Large municipal projects
- Highway greening
- High-volume construction dust control
Not recommended for
- Narrow urban routes
- Soft ground not assessed for an 8×4 chassis
- Use above final certified axle and payload limits
Source-checked configuration, with final-build items clearly separated
Dongfeng 20 m³ 8×4 Heavy-Duty Water Bowser is positioned for large-scale road, landscape and dust-control work. The source record lists 8X4 drive layout, 20 m³ nominal capacity information and model CL 53 GP.
For a Kenya quotation, confirm right-hand drive availability, legal axle and payload limits, tank material, pump and spray layout, final dimensions and registration requirements. Nominal tank capacity is not a guarantee of the legally usable water load.
Verification and support
Vehicle data is mapped from the source product record. Final payload, steering side, emissions, selected equipment, documents and destination-market compliance must be confirmed in the signed technical schedule.
