Why choose a TTi water trailer?
Find the right water trailer or water cart for the job with the wide range available on the TTi website.
A water cart is a more flexible water cartage option. You’ll quickly find the right size – our water trailers can hold anywhere from 800L to 3000L. Our water cart trailers come with all-terrain road tyres and tail, brake, indicator and number plate lights.
Water trailers are commonly used for bulk dust suppression on small work sites or as portable fire-fighting units. Our water carts can be added to a suitable vehicle and can quickly be ready to use in emergencies.
The water tanks mounted on our range of water carts are made with high-quality materials – UV-protected polyethylene – meaning they are a viable static storage option. All our water trailers come with a 20-year warranty.

No matter your industry, you’ll find some use for one of our trailer water tanks. Some of the more common industries that use water tank trailers include agriculture, mining, construction and firefighting. Our trailer water tanks can be used to irrigate crops, provide water for livestock or on-site construction workers, provide dust suppression or as a firefighting tool.
How is a water cart different to a water truck?
A water truck is a specially-designed vehicle to hold and transport large amounts of water. Water trucks have a tank built directly into the vehicle and a pump and hose for dispensing the water.
Water carts, however, are a tank and pumping system built onto a trailer or cart that you can attach to the back of a vehicle.
How much water can a water truck vs a water cart hold?
The amount of water held in a water truck or water cart varies on the size of the tank. TTi water trucks can hold anything from 8000L of water to 15,000L, depending on the model. Our water cart trailers carry smaller but not insignificant amounts, between 800L to 3000L.
Is a water cart or water truck more suitable for my needs?
Both water trucks and water carts are used for water transportation, irrigation, dust suppression or even emergency fire-fighting. The difference comes down to how much water you need. A water truck is more suitable where a large amount of water is required, such as a large construction or industrial site. A water cart trailer may suffice for a smaller area or private property.
TTi’s range of water trucks and water cart trailers are all designed, developed and manufactured here in Australia. We can help you find the best truck to suit your needs, whether for landscaping, construction or as part of fire fighting equipment. Contact us today to find out more.
What accessories can you pair with a trailer water tank?
You can pair various accessories with your trailer water tank depending on your needs. Hoses, nozzles and spray bars can be added to give you a more effective spray if you use your tank to help with dust suppresion for example. Some trailer water tanks have the ability to add extra pumps or dispensing systems, allowing you to distribute water over a larger area or a higher flow rate. You can also add equipment like pressure regulators and flow meters.
What do you need to clean trailer water tanks, and how do you clean them?
If you’re using fresh water in your tank, you shouldn’t have to clean your tank too frequently, unless sediment makes its way into the tank, and contaminates your water. In this case, you could follow these simple steps:
- Ensure the tank is empty, and remove any debris inside with a sponge or cloth
- Thoroughly rinse out the interior of your tank. Do not use any chemicals, especially if you’re using the tank as a source of drinking water. These chemicals could contaminate the water once the tank is refilled
- Be sure to also run clean water through the pump a couple of times, to ensure all elements of the tank are clean and ready for use
Ensure that you use fresh, clean water to fill your trailer water tanks as this reduces the need for regular cleaning of the tank. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for the tank, before undertaking any cleaning.
