What's on Your Tanker? #29 - Hartland, VT - Tanker 1

Going through some old files we found some photos and info on a tanker that participated in our 2011 rural water supply operations seminar in Hartford, VT. Tanker 1 is a 2010 Dingee Machine (now representing Sutphen) 1500 gallon tanker equipped with a Hale AP50 500 gpm pump. The rig is built on an International chassis and powered by a 330 hp International motor. What caught our eye was how the rear end was designed. Spotting a Dingee rig is generally limited to the New England area...we liked this one and it did a nice job of hauling water at our drill....easy to load, easy to maneuver, and easy to dump.
We like how the "business end" of this short-wheel based tanker is designed. Works well on the narrow, winding roads of Eastern Vermont.
