- Carries more volume than smaller portable water trucks, without the size or weight of a full tanker, ideal for dust suppression, washdown and civil works support
This cart is a popular choice for civil works, dust suppression on unsealed roads, large-scale soil compaction, washdown, and water transfer jobs. It’s a common choice for councils, road crews and contractors working across mid-to-large projects who need reliable volume without stepping up to a full-size tanker.
Absolutely. The tank is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene designed to withstand long-term exposure to sun, rain and dust. It doesn’t rust or corrode, and the shell is made for life on-site or in the yard.
Yes. The tank is manufactured from food-grade poly, so it can be used for drinking water or livestock if needed. Just make sure the fittings and hoses you connect are also rated for potable use.
Maintenance is straightforward. Check the fittings, hoses and spray gear from time to time, especially if the cart’s moved often. Keeping the tank mostly full helps reduce condensation and keeps the water in better condition.
This 17,000L water cart boosts efficiency on big jobs by drastically cutting down on refill trips. Its considerable capacity means less time spent travelling to and from water sources, and more time working. This translates to fewer interruptions, faster task completion, and improved overall productivity, especially on large-scale projects where every minute counts.
