Our trusted workhorse, delivered fast at a great value
The CJ Series 3000 Gallon Water Tender was the original model Fouts built to serve departments in the Western U.S. and other regions where terrain demands a shorter, more agile apparatus. Named in honor of one of our founders, the CJ Series features a compact wheelbase and a reduced pump panel—nearly half the size of our standard 3000 Gallon configuration—making it ideal for narrow roads, steep grades, and tight turns.
