Wet Side Tankers

Wet Side Tankers

Wet Side Tankers are designed to meet the water supply challenges of both rural and urban firefighting. Available on commercial or custom chassis with single or tandem axles, these tankers can be tailored with pump modules and tank sizes ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 gallons—ensuring each build fits the department’s operational and budget needs.

For areas with limited water access, optional dump tanks and porta tanks provide vital support for sustained operations. Built with the same attention to quality and durability as every Sutphen apparatus, our Wet Side Tankers deliver dependable performance when water supply is critical.
