Dry Side Tanker

Dry Side Tankers

Sutphen Dry Side Tankers offer the same reliable performance and customization options as our wet side models, with a focus on increased compartment space and modular design. Built for departments that need large water capacity and flexible storage, these tankers are ideal for rural or hybrid response areas.

Available with a variety of pump modules, dump options, and tank sizes, Dry Side Tankers can be configured to meet specific operational needs. As with all Sutphen apparatus, they are built on commercial or custom chassis with the durability and support departments have trusted for generations.
