    With an operational pressure of 1400-1500 BAR with a flow of 55lt / min. larger water tanks allow similar levels of productive time despite the increased flow.

    The increase in pressure makes these units extremely valuable on projects with high volume breakouts where water is not available.

     All four of these tankers are Euro 5/6 and therefore able to travel into London."
