A-TANK
WATER TRUCK
BRING WATER WHERE YOU NEED IT.
Built for the roughest ground on the job site — dust control, fire suppression, and potable water, hauled by the industry's toughest tank.
BUILT FOR
Dust control, construction, potable water, fire suppression, and more.
MCLELLAN "A" STYLE TANK CONSTRUCTION
Example configuration — built to your spec.
Single Longitudinal Weld Seam
One seam down the length of the shell instead of several — every weld you remove is a seam that can’t leak or split.
Full Box Bolster
1/4" double-welded box cradles spread the load into the frame, as opposed to a single-weld "L" bolster that stacks it at the saddle — where tanks crack first.
Box Section Sub-Frame
A closed box section holds its shape under load, whereas an open "L" section twists and leaves the tank fighting the chassis — working the seams loose.
Dished & Flanged Heads & Baffles
Increased structural integrity and road safety — prevents accelerated fluid movement when braking.
Choose the A-Tank for McLellan’s flagship, heavy-duty configuration with added structural reinforcement. For operations focused on essential performance and value, the B-Tank offers a leaner, cost-efficient build without compromising McLellan quality.
