Even support equipment, such as water trucks, can’t escape their analysis – or at least they shouldn’t. How equipment operators haul and apply water can significantly impact overall safety and productivity. Though water trucks seem pretty basic in application and design, several factors have a significant impact on efficiency, from the challenges of water movement in the tank to the steel used in the tank’s construction. All of these factors impact safety, efficiency, maintenance and uptime. Water truck drivers also impact the overall safety on haul roads by having complete control over their truck and the tank’s water output. For instance, individually controlled spray heads help water truck drivers optimize their water usage, as well as minimize the chance of oversaturating haul roads, which can create slick driving conditions. Inside the cab, operators can turn on the individual spray heads, and, in some systems, program a spraying interval.… Keep Reading
