Deliver water with precision and control.

Whether your goal is dust control or haul road maintenance, the Cat Water Delivery System (WDS) is designed to put water to the ground in a controlled, intelligent way. One of the advantages of our system is our independence from engine speed. 

There are multiple advantages to this system: fuel and water savings, spray pattern control, and a reduction in overwatering.

Improves haul road safety

Our system reduces water volume as ground speed is reduced – preventing overwatering at haul road intersections, at the start of grades or when traffic is encountered. 

  • When the truck speed drops below 4.8 kph (3 mph), the system shuts off automatically to prevent overwatering. 
  • It has a spray head shutoff button for on-coming traffic and an automatic shutoff when the tank is empty. 
  • Seven different automated spray pattern pre-configurations, including intermittent spray patterns, allow the operator to concentrate on more important safety issues like traffic, personnel and road conditions. 

The system can be customized to meet your specific site needs and is available as an option from the factory on the 777, 785D, and 789D Off-Highway Truck Bare Chassis. For more information on this highly efficient water delivery system from Caterpillar, please contact your local Cat dealer.
