800 Gallon Express Trailer

High-Capacity DOT Water Wagon – No CDL Required*

The 800 Gallon Express DOT Water Trailer gives you more capacity than a 550 while still being towable without a CDL in many areas.* It’s a favorite with contractors, rental fleets and municipalities that need reliable dust control, soil compaction and job-site water delivery on and off the highway.

Built around an 800-gallon poly elliptical leg tank, tandem drop axles and a DOT-approved trailer frame, this unit includes a Honda® engine, 2" Tsurumi® pump, galvanized spray bar and fire hose so you can spray roads, pack subgrade, cool concrete saws or handle light fire support with one trailer.

Express 800 DOT Water Trailer Overview

The 800 Gallon Express Water Wagon is built for crews that need more gallons between refills without jumping up to a 1,000+ gallon rig. Drop axles lower the tank’s center of gravity for stable towing, while 16" tires on Accu-Lube hubs and tandem 6,000 lb leaf-spring axles are sized for regular use on gravel and paved roads. A 4 HP Honda engine and 2" aluminum Tsurumi pump move water quickly through galvanized suction and discharge manifolds. The rear spray bar covers up to a 25' swath for road and pad work, and the included fire hose gives you controlled stream flow for spot watering, wash-downs or small fire hot spots.

Express 800 Gallon Water Trailer Applications

The 800 gallon trailer is a good match when you’re working bigger pads, longer runs or remote sites where refilling takes time—but you still want a unit that’s easy to tow and maneuver.

  • Road and highway construction dust control.
  • Soil compaction and moisture conditioning for subgrade and pads.
  • Cooling concrete saws and cutting operations.
  • Watering remote vegetation, parks and roadside plantings.
  • Arena and sports-field dust suppression.
  • Livestock and pasture watering near road access.
  • Light brush-fire support and hot-spot control.
  • Equipment and job-site wash-down where on-site water isn’t available.

If you regularly run all day between fills or need more onboard water, our 1,025, 1,600 and 2,010 gallon Express water trailers offer larger capacities with similar DOT-compliant packages.
