2010 UD Trucks GW470 Water Tanker - 871,929km- Automatic Transmission
Overview
This 2010 UD Trucks GW470 represents a purpose-built water distribution and dust suppression platform, engineered for sustained operational performance across demanding industrial and civil construction environments. The GW470 is a proven workhorse in the Australian water cartage and environmental control sector, combining robust chassis engineering with integrated fluid handling systems designed for high-cycle daily operation. With nearly 872,000km on the meter, this unit demonstrates the durability and reliability that has made UD Trucks a trusted name in commercial vehicle operations across Australasia.
The machine presents as a well-used operational asset with honest patina consistent. With an engine light present, The white cabin exterior shows expected weathering and minor paint chips typical of extended field deployment, whilst the blue polyethylene tank displays moderate surface oxidation and minor denting reflective of genuine working use, paired with an automatic transmission that simplifies operation across varied terrain and traffic conditions. The enclosed cabin provides operator protection and comfort during extended shifts, with functional controls and instrumentation intact throughout the vehicle.
In the current market, comparable water tanker units of this vintage and specification typically command prices between AUD 18,000 and 26,000 depending on mechanical condition, tank integrity, and pump system functionality. This example represents genuine value for operators seeking fluid transport and dust suppression capability without premium pricing, particularly suited to contractors, local government authorities, and environmental remediation specialists.
