Gourdon truck-mounted tanks are specially designed to meet high productivity requirements in urban, on-site or extreme conditions. This equipment combines a motorised vehicle with a tank body to provide drivers with the best working conditions and enable them to carry out their work efficiently.
Applications:
- Watering public works sites: limiting dust and environmental pollution during construction or quarry work.
- Hydrocleaning: draining pits and cleaning networks and pipes.
- Hazardous materials: ADR-approved equipment for the transport of hazardous materials.

- Customised branding to reflect your image
- Stainless steel rear unloading flap
- Side hose holders
- Plastic or metal tool box(es)
- Underride guard
- Side cyclist guards
4. Define the drive system for your tanker:
- Vacuum pump for suction/discharge (see options)
- Connection to truck equipment (auxiliary power take-off, full power take-off)
- Combustion engine for autonomous drive (see options)
- High-pressure pump for hydrocleaning application (see options)
5. Define the control of your tank’s functions:
- Hydraulic distributor with manual controls
- Electro-hydraulic distributor with remote control box or in the cab
- Remote electrical control cabinet at the rear of the lorry and/or radio control
6. Define the filling and emptying connections:
- Fixed or tipping tank with tipping cylinder
- Water cannon
- Side pumping arm pivoting on front base
- DN 50 to 200 mm connection(s) (front, rear and side positions to be defined)
- Upper filling cone (gravity filling)
- Manual quarter-turn or hydraulic valve(s) (DN 50 to 200 mm)
- Manually or hydraulically operated guillotine valve(s)
- Internal gooseneck for accelerated filling
- Claw or symmetrical connections
- Sprinkler blade
- Spreading ramp
7. Equip the equipment to carry out inspection and maintenance operations:
- Manhole Ø 800 mm (rear or top with inspection ladder)
- Fully opening bottom (manual or hydraulic locking)
- Spirit level or transparent level (position of your choice)
- Porthole
- Low level detector and audible alarm
8. Equip the equipment with the accessories necessary for productive, comfortable and safe work:
- Spiral or flattenable PVC suction hose (Ø 50 to 150 mm)
- Hose guide and protection (flexible or rigid)
- Rear rotating beacon(s)
- Work light(s)
- Warning triangle (manual or electric)
- Hydraulic or manual hose reels (hydrocleaning)
- Cleaning nozzles and high-pressure lance (hydrocleaning)
The CIM range of truck-mounted tanks are DREAL approved. The equipment is fitted in accordance with regulations and the vehicle is approved by an authorised inspection body.
Information: Truck-mounted tanks are available in ADR versions for the transport of hazardous materials (hydrocleaning on industrial sites, transport of hydrocarbons, etc.).
