WHAT SIZE TRAILER OR WATER CART DO I NEED TO SUIT MY REQUIREMENTS?
To determine the right size trailer or water cart for your requirements, consider the following:
Application Needs: For dust control on large sites or extended roadwork, a larger capacity (around 8,000–12,000L) is ideal. Smaller projects may only need 2,000–5,000L.
Water Access and Refill Frequency: If water access is limited or you need long intervals between refills, a larger tank will reduce downtime.
Vehicle Compatibility: Ensure your vehicle can support the tank's weight when full, especially for slip-on models.
Space Constraints: Smaller trailers are easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces, while larger trailers suit open construction or agricultural sites.
Transport Frequency: For frequent or longer hauls, ensure your vehicle can handle the load, including when travelling over rough terrain.
Assessing these factors with your specific site needs will help determine the ideal size.

DO I WANT A WATER CART OR WATER TRUCK?
With both water cart trailers and water trucks designed for the same applications such as water cartage, civil road works or equipment washdown, the difference is the water capacity. With trailers holding up to 2,500L, trucks can hold up to 12,000L of liquid.
Water carts are ideal for hitch-and-go convenience, with almost all vehicles suitable for towing. Water carts are ideal for smaller construction sites, mine site mobility or agricultural properties.

WHO IS USING WATER TRAILERS?
At the operator level, water trailers and slip-on water carts support a range of practical tasks that improve on-site efficiency:
Dust Suppression: Operators use spray bars or nozzles to control dust on roads, construction sites, and mining operations, ensuring better air quality and safer work conditions.
Soil Compaction: By applying controlled water volumes, operators help stabilise soil, preparing surfaces for construction and reducing erosion risks.
Vegetation and Tree Watering: For landscaping and forestry tasks, operators provide targeted watering to support plant health and manage turf or forested areas, especially in dry conditions.
Livestock Watering: In agricultural settings, operators ensure consistent water supply to livestock in remote paddocks, where access to water may be limited.
Fire Suppression and Emergency Readiness: Operators can use these units for rapid fire response, ensuring water is accessible in emergencies for managing small fires or for use in firefighting support.
Equipment Wash-Downs: Operators use water trailers for cleaning machinery and vehicles, helping to maintain equipment and reduce contamination, especially in biosecurity-sensitive areas.
These tasks highlight how water trailers and slip-on water carts allow operators to perform essential functions across diverse environments, contributing to safer, cleaner, and more efficient site management.

Should I hire or Buy a Water trailer / water cart?
Whether to hire or buy a water trailer or water cart depends on your needs, project scope, and budget. Here are some considerations:
When to Hire:
Short-Term Projects: Hiring is cost-effective for one-off projects or temporary jobs, as it avoids the upfront purchase cost.
Maintenance and Storage: Hiring eliminates maintenance responsibilities and storage issues, as the rental provider handles upkeep.
Trying Out Different Models: If you're not sure which type of water trailer suits your needs, renting lets you test models before committing to a purchase.
When to Buy:
Frequent Use: Purchasing is often more economical if you regularly need dust control or water management, as rental costs can add up quickly.
Customisation Needs: Owning allows you to customise the water cart to specific requirements, making it more efficient for your operations.
Asset Investment: Buying adds a valuable asset to your fleet, potentially offering tax advantages and increasing your overall capacity.
For long-term projects or frequent use, buying can provide better value and control. For short-term or intermittent needs, hiring may be the best choice.
