12 cubic sewage suction truck
Why Buyers Choose This 12m³ Sewage Suction Truck
1. Real 11.76m³ Payload, Correctly Rated
The straight-section Q235 steel tank measures 4600 mm × 1800 mm and is rated for 8,960 kg of liquid waste at 800 kg/m³ density — a true 12 cubic class, not an overstated number. More collected volume per trip means fewer trips and lower fuel plus labour costs on every job.
2. Single-Trip Coverage Between 5m³ and 18m³ Classes
On the 4500 mm Foton BJ1186VKPHK-1K wheelbase with an 8,910 kg curb weight, total GVW stays at 18,000 kg with full payload room. This size fits urban drains and septic tanks in the same run the small trucks cannot finish in one pass — without paying for the larger 18m³ class.
3. Emergency Safety Cut-Off as Standard
Dedicated emergency safety protection switches on the operation panel cut vacuum power instantly, protecting both the operator and the vacuum system during loading or maintenance — a feature often only offered as an option elsewhere.
4. Certified Braking and ABS
Dual-circuit ABS from WABCO or Dongke Knorr Bremse, with a rear protection guard set at 450 mm ground clearance (50×120 mm steel), meets international safety norms for full-load highway operation at up to 89 km/h.
5. Truck-Only Tyre and Spring Options
Choose 10.00R20, 11R22.5 or 275/80R22.5 tyres and multi-leaf springs (10/8+8, 10/10+8) to suit on-road freight or rough jobsite access, backed by a chassis platform built by Beiqi Foton.
This SGW5180GXWF is a 4500 mm-wheelbase Foton-based vacuum sewage suction truck built for rapid collection, transport and disposal of liquid pollutants, sludge and industrial liquid waste. The 11.76 m³ effective tank delivers 8,960 kg rated load at 800 kg/m³ liquid density, and the 89 km/h top speed keeps it productive across municipal networks and remote sites.
Tank & Pump System
The straight-section Q235 carbon-steel tank, 4600 mm long × 1800 mm in diameter, is welded to hold corrosive waste, with the rear protection device fabricated from Q235 (50×120 mm) set 450 mm above ground. The vacuum pump extracts waste from septic tanks, drainage ditches, manholes and industrial lagoons for continuous high-volume operation.
Chassis & Powertrain
Built on the Foton BJ1186VKPHK-1K truck chassis (trademark "Futian", manufactured by Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd.), the truck runs compliant diesel engines from FAW, Dongfeng Cummins and Beijing Futian Cummins (140–191 kW), meeting GB3847-2005 / GB17691-2018 National VI emission standards.
