Water Bowsers · Shacman L3000 4x2 water bowser
Shacman Delong L3000 14,000 Litres 4x2 Water Bowser Truck for Urban Road Washing
The Shacman Delong L3000 brings a second chassis brand to the urban bowser line: a 14 m3 tank on an 18 t GVW 4x2 with a 10-speed gearbox, sized for daily arterial and viaduct washing rounds where the Dongfeng 12 m3 bowser already serves and a heavier 6x4 build is unnecessary.

Frequently asked questions
How much water does it carry legally?
About 10,405 kg on the 18 t GVW chassis; the 14 m3 tank is normally filled to roughly 10,000 litres to stay within the legal weight.
What routes suit it best?
Daily arterial and viaduct washing, squares, airport access roads and dust suppression — the paved urban duty the L3000 platform is built for.
How does it differ from the Dongfeng 12 m3 bowser?
Same class of duty with a larger 14 m3 tank on the Shacman platform; fleets standardising on Shacman dealer support can run it alongside the Dongfeng without changing parts logistics.
Can it suppress dust on mine roads?
For heavy haul-road dust, the 6x4 fog-cannon build is the right tool; this 4x2 serves paved urban and industrial estate roads.
What spraying equipment is fitted?
Front flush, side spray bars and a rear cannon configuration confirmed per order, with pump sizing matched to the programme.
A second brand for arterial washing fleets
Municipal washing programmes rarely run one truck; they run a fleet with one parts channel. The Delong L3000 gives arterial-duty fleets a 14 m3 bowser on the Shacman platform — the same daily carriageway, viaduct and square work as the Dongfeng build, with dealer support that matches an existing Shacman sanitation fleet.
