STG Customer Feature: Cleanaway 18,000 Litre Scania Water Truck

The STG water truck is where it all started. From the first one over thirty years ago to being industry leaders today, we are fiercely proud of our water trucks.

Our modules are designed specifically for use in Australia, optimised for the harsh landscapes and dry land. Water trucks are an essential piece of equipment in terms of safe dust suppression, fire prevention and soil compaction.  Available in a variety of sizes, our water trucks employ our advanced systems to discharge the correct amount of water in a systematic and controlled manner.

What make us truly stand out is our longevity – STG tanks are built to last. With a fully hot dipped galvanised tank, our trucks stand the test of time with a no rust guarantee. Hot dip galvanising is the process of soaking our metal tanks in a bath of molten zinc to produce a corrosion-resistant coating. In fact, there have been many occasions where the STG tank has outlived the truck chassis itself! We have one of our oldest trucks (over twenty years old!) proudly displayed in the STG Head Office in Ormeau, Queensland.

One of our most recent truck handovers was for customer Cleanaway – an 18,000 litre truck body fitted on a Scania truck.

Cleanaway recently purchased an 18,000 litre water truck – one of the largest tank capacities offered, second only to the 19,000 litre poly water tank. The 18,000 litre water truck is best suited for medium to large construction and mining jobs. This truck body was placed on a Scania Truck Chassis.

Scania Trucks

STG only works with truck chassis manufacturers that focus on quality and reliability – Scania is one of them. Scania focuses on providing trucks, transport and other heavy duty electrical equipment for a wide range of applications allowing operators to increase efficiency and decrease their environmental impact.

The company provides clients with a tailored transport solution and global access to spare parts fast. Scania has more than 1,600 workshops and 14,000 knowledgeable service technicians worldwide.

Scania see themselves as a place of continuous innovation and have gone as far as to make a section to their website called ‘future room’ where they claim to experiment and challenge what is possible uploading things such as adverts where one of their trucks is delivered by a cloud of drones, as well as a three episode collection of stories that imagine a brighter future.

Scania has plans to take vital steps towards their vision of sustainable transport for all, but for now they are focused on helping their customers to improve their profitability in an efficient and safe way. At STG, we believe in working with companies that align with our vision and values and both Cleanaway and Scania are great examples of this.

Built To Last

At STG, we build our trucks to last. With a hot-dipped galvanised tank, we offer a no rust guarantee.  To add to the longevity, the heavy-duty rear bar is fitted with LED lights and a rear tow point.

This 18,000 litre tank boasts three rear sprays, two batter sprays as well as two rear drop bars that are individually controlled. With a total of seven sprays and being pneumatic controlled, this truck will get the job done.  It also includes a stainless-steel hose reel with 15m of Ace hose and a PowerJet nozzle.

When designing our truck bodies, safety is always the key priority. The safety handrail with a rear ladder ensures that the tank can be accessed with no accidents. Furthermore, the top channel on top of tank stops water going over the side of the tank and chassis.

There is sufficient lighting with LED side lights, rear top LED lights, as well as front and rear LED flashing amber lights.
