Water Truck
Murray Engineering’s MT65 and TH663i Water Trucks are a purpose-built conversion solution, built for the underground mining environment. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house at our Pinjarra headquarters, our team can convert a standard Epiroc MT65 or Sandvik TH663i dump truck chassis into a high-performance water truck—eliminating the need to stock additional spares or training of operators or maintenance teams for unfamiliar equipment.
Designed for dust suppression and efficient water delivery in confined underground environments, our water trucks offer exceptional safety, performance, and versatility.
Built Underground Tough: Tank Design & Construction
The heavy-duty tank has been designed with durability, ease
of maintenance, and operator safety front of mind:
- Massive 27,500L water capacity
- 16mm-thick steel sidewalls with 12mm wear plates for maximum longevity
- Internal transverse and longitudinal baffling to reduce surge
- Replaceable anodes for corrosion control
- External dimensions match OEM dump bodies, ensuring no impact to clearance or visibility
- Water deflector plate prevents splash-over onto the transmission tunnel
- Four integrated drain points, inspection hatches and fill screens ensure ease of operation
Precise Control with Hydraulic & Electrical Integration
Our solution uses the existing truck hydraulic circuit, eliminating the need for additional hydraulic infrastructure. A hydraulic motor powers the centrifugal water pump, with CAN BUS-controlled spray functions and an ergonomic joystick replacing the OEM hoist lever.
Operators benefit from:
- A joystick hand controller for easy spray/cannon activation
- An in-cabin screen that displays water levels, diagnostics, and control functions
- Secure software access allows for the fine-tuning of flow rates, spray direction, and pump output
- Inclinometers and safety interlocks for operational peace of mind
- A dedicated service pendant is also provided to safely raise and secure the tank for maintenance.
Fit-for-Purpose,End-to-End Engineering
Our underground water trucks are built with precision and safety in mind, offering the following key features to ensure seamless integration and reliable performance in challenging conditions:
- Fully engineered to fit OEM mounting points, load cells and suspension systems
- Maintains axle load integrity across gradients for underground safety compliance
