I'm looking to gather some information on units designed as "source pumpers", "pond pumpers", "water supply units", rural "hose tenders/wagons", or any number of names they might fall under. In general, I'm looking for something that meets the following conditions:
1. Four-wheel drive (generally commercial chassis) and other good off-road capabilities (super singles/floatation tires, good ground clearance and angles of approach/departure, etc)
2. Front-mount pump (generally 1,000+ GPM)
3. Large bed (or reel) of LDH, and/or vehicle is specifically designed for water supply purposes
If you use or know of any units that meet any two out of the three features above, I'd appreciate a photo, a link, or department name. For example, perhaps it's a 4x4 rural water supply unit but has a midship pump, or it's a 4x4, front-mount pump, but not specifically intended for water supply - either of those would still be fine.
Even if the rigs have been posted on these boards here before (Sister Bay, WI, Sherman, CT, etc), I'd still be interested in having the pictures posted here so that this thread serves as a sort of "collection point" for them. I'd also be interested in hearing from departments that are currently considering the design of a similar unit.
