What are Water Carts or Water Tanks used for?

A Water Cart or Water Tank is a handy piece of equipment that helps you to access water while you work. Water Carts and Water Tanks come in a range of sizes with different transportation options depending on where you hire.

If you are working away from a water hydrant or mains water supply, a water cart is a very helpful tool to give you the water you need. Water Carts can be used in fire prevention and management, agriculture, construction and roading. Water Carts can also be a handy tool for home owners who want access to a supply of water separate to their mains supply.

How are Water Tanks used in Construction?

Summer is a dry time of the year and it’s not uncommon to produce large quantities of dust on building sites. Because dust is considered to be an environmental hazard it’s important to plan ahead and have access to water to keep dust at bay.

There are a range of jobs on a building site that require water, but while a building is under construction there is often no access to a mains supply. Having a water tank or cart on a building site gives easy access to water for any job that needs to be done, including landscaping, building maintenance, water blasting and suppressing dust.

Water Tanks can be helpful for fire protection, particularly if there is no other source of water readily available. Water tanks also provide valuable water to maintain plants through the driest months of the year or to help establish vulnerable new plantings.

Every orchard and farm has a range of tracks and roads that need to be maintained in every season. Having access to portable water helps the process of creating, maintaining and clearing the dust from roads.

How are Water Carts used in Roading?

Working in road construction and maintenance often requires access to water in remote areas away from existing water sources. A Water Cart or Water Tank provides ready access to water when it’s needed.

Suppressing dust is an important part of road construction and maintenance. Water may also be required for water blasting - particularly in bridge maintenance - and for roading compaction. Water is an important part of road construction and is often used in front of a roller to help the compaction process.
