Dust Killer Auto Skid Details
The Dust Killer Auto Skid is a dump-truck-mounted sprayer designed to slide easily into or out of most truck dump beds without any lifting required. The Auto Skid is perfect for DOTs, construction companies, or anyone needing a removable truck-mounted sprayer for a water truck or dust control truck. Relied on by state and county highway departments, the Dust Killer is available with a spray bar, centrifugal pump, and fire hose to handle a multitude of operations such as dust control, construction pad work, and roadbed compaction.
Standard features include 1,000, 1,025, 1,250, or 1,600 gallon leg tanks, steel eyelet tie-downs, 6" channel iron frame, and self-folding front legs. The Honda-powered pump can fill the tank as well as apply water through the galvanized spray bar (25’ swath) or 25’ fire hose. The poly tanks are equipped with a side fillwell for easy servicing and partial baffles to control the movement of liquid in the tank. The black poly tank is opaque, preventing algae from growing inside the tank.
Whether your needs include compacting a building site, dust control on roads or construction sites, watering remote landscape areas, or fighting the occasional grass fire, the Dust Killer Auto Skid is a profitable and efficient addition to your equipment lineup. The Auto Skid is also available in an “Ice Blitzer” de-icing version.

Dust Killer Auto Skid Applications
The Dust Killer Auto Skid is built for heavy-duty jobsite work where you need a water or dust control solution that loads onto the dump truck you already have. Common applications include:
- Dust abatement on gravel roads and construction sites
- Road construction and roadbed compaction
- Construction pad watering and compaction
- DOT and state/county highway department operations
- Remote landscape and vegetation watering
- Concrete saw cooling and lubrication (with optional adapter kit)
- Grass fire response and water hauling
- Winter de-icing (with the “Ice Blitzer” version)
Because the skid slides out when you’re done, the same dump truck can go right back to hauling material. That dual-use flexibility is why state and county highway departments rely on the Dust Killer as a cost-effective addition to their fleet.
