Bell 2806E Water Truck

Bell 2806E Water Truck – Power, Efficiency & Reliability in Every Drop

The Bell 2806E Water Truck is built to handle the toughest site conditions with ease, delivering 16,000 litres of water wherever it’s needed. Whether for dust suppression, haul road conditioning, or construction site maintenance, this water tanker ensures efficient water distribution with high flow rates and durable engineering. Designed for performance and reliability, it combines advanced technology with robust construction to optimize operations in demanding environments.

Unmatched Performance for Maximum Productivity

At the heart of the Bell 2806E Water Truck is a Mercedes-Benz OM906LA engine. This turbocharged and intercooled inline-six engine is engineered for efficiency, providing 1,100 Nm of torque to deliver consistent power across various terrains. The Allison 3500PR ORS transmission, a fully automatic planetary gearbox, ensures smooth shifting and precise control while minimizing operator fatigue.

The hydrodynamic torque converter with lock-up in all gears allows for seamless transitions, ensuring peak performance when navigating challenging terrain. With a top speed of 43 km/h, the Bell 2806E moves quickly between job sites, improving cycle times and overall operational efficiency.

Advanced Water Distribution System

The Bell 2806E is equipped with a high-efficiency centrifugal water pump, delivering an impressive 1,800 litres per minute with a 50m head. This powerful system ensures consistent water distribution, making it ideal for dust control, compaction, and material processing applications.

Its articulated design allows for superior maneuverability, even in confined spaces. The 16,000-litre tank capacity provides extended operational time, reducing the need for frequent refilling and maximizing productivity.

Heavy-Duty Braking & Safety Features

Safety is paramount, and the Bell 2806E Water Truck is built with advanced braking technology to ensure maximum control and stability in all conditions. The wet disc braking system provides 132 kN of braking force, while the spring-applied, air-released parking brake delivers an additional 242 kN of stopping power.

For enhanced control on downhill grades, the automatic exhaust valve brake and engine valve brake work in conjunction with an optional hydrodynamic transmission retarder, offering continuous retardation of up to 539 kW. These features reduce brake wear and enhance the truck’s overall safety and longevity.

Built for Operator Comfort & Durability

The Bell 2806E Water Truck is designed with operator comfort in mind, featuring a ROPS/FOPS-certified cabin with low interior noise levels (74 dBA). The ergonomic controls, hydro-pneumatic front suspension, and double-acting steering cylinders ensure a smooth ride even in the roughest conditions.

Key design elements also include:

• Full load-sensing hydraulic system for optimal efficiency
• Dual AGM 24V batteries with an 80A alternator for reliable power
• Semi-independent leading A-frame suspension for superior handling

Durability & Ease of Maintenance

Constructed with heavy-duty components, the Bell 2806E is built for long-term reliability. The Bell 15T axles feature high input limited-slip differentials and outboard planetary final drives, ensuring durability under heavy loads. The Kessler W1400 transfer case enhances torque distribution, optimizing traction in various conditions.

Maintenance is made easy with accessible service points, reducing downtime and keeping your fleet operational and productive.
