5 Ways Contractors and Cities Use the Bergmann 815 Water Truck
When it comes to jobsite essentials, a water truck might not grab the spotlight—but it plays a critical role in tasks ranging from dust control and soil compaction to cleanup and fire prevention. Not all water trucks are built the same. The Bergmann 815 water truck is changing the game with a smart mix of power, comfort, and versatility packed into a compact footprint. It’s a construction water truck that performs across industries and adapts to even the most challenging jobsites. It’s also an excellent choice for cities needing a municipal water truck that can handle a variety of public works tasks. In this blog, we’ll cover five practical ways contractors and municipalities use the Bergmann water truck in the field—and why it’s earning a spot in more fleets.
Why the Bergmann Water Truck Stands Out
Smart Capacity in a Compact Package
At just 25 feet long and 9 feet wide, the 815 water truck goes where larger units can’t—making it ideal for urban jobsites, narrow access points, and tighter project footprints. The truck’s 3,000-gallon baffled tank offers real hauling efficiency without sacrificing maneuverability or control. That makes it a top pick for contractors, municipalities, and rental fleets alike.
Built for Real-World Work
Powered by a 159-hp Cummins diesel engine and equipped with an integrated hydraulic system, the Bergmann water truck is built to handle demanding tasks. With ground-level service access to all key components, routine maintenance is simple and fast, reducing downtime and keeping the machine on the move—whether you’re on a jobsite or part of a public works crew.
Full-Featured Water System
This isn’t just about hauling water—it’s about delivering it exactly where and how you need it. Standard features include:
- Four tank-mounted spray heads for consistent jobsite dust control
- Rear-mounted hose reel for targeted washdown and equipment cleaning
- Remote-controlled front Nitro water cannon for targeted spraying or emergency use
- Self-loading capability—ideal for remote or unmanned delivery needs
Whether you’re using it as a construction water truck, a dust control vehicle, or a municipal water truck, the 815 water truck adapts to your workflow.
Comfort Where It Counts
The 815 water truck is designed not just for the job, but also for the operator. The Bergmann Comfort cab features a heated air-ride seat, giving crews a smoother, more comfortable experience during long days on rough terrain. Visibility and ergonomics are top-tier, so productivity stays high—whether you’re managing dust control or supporting maintenance operations.
