Hills Machinery launched Hydex USA, whose articulated water tanks are now available in the U.S.
Hills Machinery will upfit Hydex articulated water tanks on Rokbak articulated truck chassis at its facility in Wilson, North Carolina, as well as at an upfit center in Seattle. Tanks will also be outfit on other models of new or used articulated truck chassis at both locations, according to Hills Machinery.
“Dust suppression and access to water is a growing demand throughout North America as jobsites get bigger, mines and quarries get busier, and as local regulations become more restrictive,” says Jim Hills, president of Hills Machinery and Hydex USA. “The combination of the wildly popular Rokbak articulated truck chassis and the engineering excellence of the Hydex water tanks represents the premium off-road dust suppression and water delivery solution available to the North American construction and mining markets today.”
Hills Machinery says two water tanks matched specifically to Rokbak articulated dump trucks are at the core of the product offering: a 6,000-gallon water tank (AWT6) matched to the 370-hp RA30, and a 9,000-gallon water tank (AWT9) matched to the 444-hp RA40.
Each tank can also be outfit on the articulated truck chassis of each customer’s choosing, as Hills Machinery says the design allows for upfit and integration with all major articulated truck manufacturers. The tanks can even be outfit on used articulated truck chassis, the company says.
“We work with Rokbak on a daily basis and believe those to be the two best trucks to outfit these tanks with,” Hills says. “We also recognize that some contractors will want to keep their fleet standardized with other brands of trucks. We’re happy to work with everyone to solve their dust suppression and water access needs.”
Hills Machinery is an equipment dealer based in Columbia, South Carolina, with 14 locations throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
