There’s Pride
for Our History

The Eco tank design, lighter than the previous truck designs to offer greater fuel-economy and on site performance.
New tank improves weight distribution. Cyclone v3 design increases efficiencies. A curved tank floor improves load dumping.
New eco-lite tank, now 4000lbs lighter. New boom design replaces “top gun”. New rear door locking design.
