An Unbeatable Trio = Hydex. Rokbak. Hills.
Hydex water tanks are a perfect pair to Rokbak articulated dump trucks.
- 6,000-gallon water tank (AWT6) & 370 horsepower RA30
- 9,000-gallon water tank (AWT9) & 444 horsepower RA40
Each Rokbak truck chassis is built powerful and robust for off-road hauling, and the truck cab is a favorite of operators with a comfortable ride, excellent space and easy, responsive controls. Add Hills Machinery's heavy equipment expertise and Hydex articulated water trucks are ready to serve.
Applications for the construction industry include dust suppression, soil compaction and equipment cleaning. Articulated water trucks also serve agricultural needs.
Why Hydex Water Tanks?
The hallmark of the Hydex AWT6 and AWT9 articulated water tanks is the smooth and safe operation in off-road conditions thanks to baffle valves in both transverse and longitudinal directions for superior stability.
Additionally, Hydex water tanks are fully customizable for each jobsite and feature design advantages that deliver superior water spraying performance:
- Water is shot from an American-made Elkhart water cannon to more than 213 feet, and water pressure can be manually adjusted to flow rates of 320, 480 or 630 gallons per minute based on the application.
- A front bumper sprayer, vertical side sprayer and rear spray bar with more than 82 feet of coverage gives the operator extreme water spraying versatility.
- An electric Hannay hose reel capable of holding 100 feet of 1 ½-inch diameter hose with an adjustable nozzle is also available to help the operator reach hard-to-reach areas.
Water Tank Standout Features:
- An American-made Berkeley water pump driven by the truck’s hydraulic system for optimal performance.
- 3-inch heavy-duty sprayers fully adjustable and individually controlled from the cab.
- A rear dribble bar that sprays water from the bottom of the tank.
- A 3-inch coupler that allows for easy loading from hydrants, and an optional suction loading system for filling from lakes and reservoirs.
- A rear lighting kit with a rotary beacon and work light for optimal jobsite visibility and awareness.
- Extremely simple and intuitive in-cab controls – including an in-cab water level indicator.
Optional Features:
- Rear backup camera
- Top-of-tank safety rails for easy access to the top of the tank

Hydex water tanks can also be outfitted on the articulated truck chassis of each customer’s choice, as the design allows for upfit and integration with all major manufacturers of articulated trucks. The tanks can even be outfit on a used articulated truck chassis if a business owner is looking to get a little extra life out of an old truck body.
