Philippi-Hagenbuch Celebrates 25 Years with its Patented Water Tanks
Philippi-Hagenbuch Inc. is commemorating the 25th anniversary of its HiVol® Water Tanks. Since introducing water tanks in 2001, they have become a staple of Philippi-Hagenbuch’s custom-engineered equipment lineup, giving customers an efficient dust control solution for new trucks and through converting an existing haul truck to a water truck. From the first water tanks that rolled out its doors, Philippi-Hagenbuch has prioritized design features that emphasize durability, efficiency and safety. The company has manufactured more than 100 water tanks in the past 25 years, and to this day, every HiVol Water Tank is still operating. Philippi-Hagenbuch had been manufacturing custom haul truck bodies for about 3 decades when a customer approached them with a request for water tanks. Striving to manufacture whatever solution customers need to help them haul, Philippi-Hagenbuch began looking at applying their design expertise and standards to engineer a water tank. While studying the dimensions and specifications necessary for the tank, they realized that volumetrically, a water tank would be about the same as their coal bodies. Philippi-Hagenbuch then studied other water tanks on the market and spoke in-depth with customers about what challenges they faced with these products. The result of the company’s research was a square, flattop HiVol Water Tank with a range of features and technology not previously seen in the industry. That first water tank was delivered to Campbell County, Wyoming, in March 2001, where it still operates today. Philippi-Hagenbuch water tanks are built with superior-grade Hardox® 450 steel, which is more than 300% harder and more corrosion-resistant than the steel used in most other water tanks on the market. If hauling in highly acidic environments, Philippi-Hagenbuch offers HiVol Water Tanks with Hardox HiAce acidic-resistant steel. The company also manufactures insulated water tanks designed for cold weather conditions, with optional heating for use in environments as cold as -40°C.
