Flexible filling and application
AquaLine water tanks are designed as vacuum tankers and are characterised by their ease of use. The built-in technology is designed for daily use and ensures reliable operation with minimal maintenance.
The vehicles utilise high-performance vacuum compressors and centrifugal pumps of a tried-and-tested design, which operate reliably, smoothly and with exceptionally low noise levels. Filling accelerators are available to speed up the filling process. For its compressor technology, garant relies exclusively on the renowned manufacturer Jurop.
Depending on requirements, the vehicles can be fitted with different dispensing systems, allowing them to be optimally adapted to the respective operating conditions.
Basic equipment
Galvanized or painted
AquaLine tanks are designed for everyday use and, thanks to their robust steel construction, offer a high degree of stability and durability. Each tank is individually tailored to its chassis and tyres to ensure safe handling both on the road and off-road.
For reliable corrosion protection, galvanized tanks or a high-quality internal coating combined with a coloured external paint finish are available. This allows the vehicle to be optimally adapted to the specific requirements and the existing fleet.

High manoeuvrability and precise handling
Follow-up steering, together with hydraulic or electronic forced steering, ensures high manoeuvrability and safe handling. Active steering assistance when reversing further facilitates precise manoeuvring. This means that AquaLine water tanks can be moved safely and efficiently even in confined working areas.
Follow-up steering
Follow-up steering enables the axle to steer automatically whilst the vehicle is travelling forwards, thereby improving handling when cornering and enhancing the vehicle’s manoeuvrability. The smaller turning circle makes manoeuvring easier and reduces wear on tyres and the road surface. The steering axle can be hydraulically blocked for reversing.
Hydraulic forced steering
The hydraulic forced steering system controls the steering axle directly via the steering movements of the towing vehicle. This enables tight turning manoeuvres and a high degree of manoeuvrability when travelling forwards and backwards. The active steering assistance ensures safe handling and facilitates precise manoeuvring, even in confined working areas.
Electronic Forced Steering ESS 2.0
The ESS 2.0 electronic forced steering system controls the steering axle without the need for mechanical steering linkages. This reduces wear and maintenance requirements. At the same time, the system offers the same advantages in terms of manoeuvrability, driving stability and handling as a hydraulic forced steering system. Active steering assistance during both forward and reverse travel enables precise manoeuvring, even in confined spaces.
Stay safe on the road, whatever the filling level
Depending on the size of the vehicle, AquaLine water tankers are available with overrun brakes or air brakes. The air brake ensures consistent and powerful braking performance. The integrated automatic load-dependent braking force control (ALB) adjusts the braking force to the current filling level of the tank and guarantees safe braking performance regardless of the load.
Overrun brake
The overrun brake is a simple and reliable solution for smaller vehicles. It operates independently of the towing vehicle and is particularly suitable for single-axle and smaller tandem vehicles.
Compressed-air brake
The compressed-air brake ensures consistent and powerful braking performance. The automatic load-dependent brake force control (ALB) adjusts the braking force according to the filling level of the tank, ensuring safe handling and braking performance in all operating conditions.
High visibility for greater safety at work and on the roads
The optional warning system ensures high visibility and additional safety on the road and during work operations. High-performance LED technology alerts following road users to the vehicle’s presence at an early stage and is particularly helpful when driving slowly, making frequent stops, and carrying out watering and cleaning tasks.
Additional lighting options are also available to allow for customisation.
Always the right connection
Whether with a top hitch or a bottom hitch, with or without a sprung drawbar – AquaLine water tanks are available for a wide variety of towing vehicles and applications. To ensure optimum handling, high operational reliability and maximum driving comfort, the coupling is individually tailored to the towing vehicle and the permissible nose weight.
Rigid top attachment
The rigid top hitch for a flanged drawbar eye or K80 ball is a tried-and-tested solution for AquaLine water tanks, whether fitted with a dispensing system or not. It offers reliable power transmission and ensures safe handling in day-to-day use.
Rigid bottom hitch
The rigid bottom hitch for the K80 ball coupler offers excellent ride comfort and optimum power transmission. Compared with the top hitch, it allows for higher nose weights, making it particularly suitable for larger container volumes.
Bottom hitch with sprung drawbar
The hydraulic sprung drawbar ensures maximum ride comfort and reduces shocks and vibrations whilst driving. Thanks to the adjustment options for different coupling heights and vehicle inclines, the AquaLine water tank can be optimally adapted to the towing vehicle and operating conditions. High nose weights can be achieved without any problems.
Optimal traction for every application
AquaLine water tankers are available with a range of tyre types, tread patterns and sizes. The tyres are individually tailored to the vehicle, area of use and ground conditions to ensure optimum traction, driving safety and protection of the ground.
Depending on requirements, either radial or cross-ply tyres are used. Tyre diameters range from 22.5 to 42 inches, with widths from 385 to 1,050 millimetres. Naturally, we work exclusively with reputable manufacturers to ensure the highest quality and reliability.
