VEHICLE OVERVIEW
Septic tank cleaning for households, hotels, schools and public toilets
The Dongfeng 11,000 L septic suction truck pairs an 11,000-litre vacuum tank with a single-rear-axle 4x2 chassis at 16,000 kg GVW. It targets septic routes for households, hotels, schools and public toilets, offering high-volume class capacity in a lighter, more manoeuvrable truck.
Typical applications: Septic tank cleaning for households, hotels, schools and public toilets; municipal liquid waste routes where a lighter 16-tonne truck is preferred.
