Water carts, also known as water trucks, transport and distribute water across worksites, construction areas and during emergencies. They are commonly used for dust suppression, site cleaning, hazard reduction and maintaining water supply when on-site tanks run dry. They are equipped with a large tank and spray nozzles for even water distribution across large areas.
A water tanker for hire offers bulk water transport solutions for remote locations, construction sites, agricultural needs and during emergency situations, ensuring reliable water supply where it's needed most.
With water cart hire, businesses can ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations, scale their operations as needed, and access modern, well-maintained equipment for short or long-term use. Coates provides a range of water truck hire options to meet industry demands.
Our water truck hire is available in various capacities. For frequent or continuous use or remote locations opt for a larger capacity to minimise downtime when refilling. A smaller capacity water cart is better suited for metro sites with intermittent tasks. Explore our online catalogue for options or contact a Product Specialist to determine the best fit.
In all Australian states and territories, operators must typically hold a C-class (car) licence and demonstrate the required competency to operate a water tanker. For larger water carts with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of more than 8 tonne, a HR (Heavy Rigid) licence is required. Additional licencing and certification requirements can vary by state, territory and industry sector, so it's important to consult your local or industry regulatory body for specific details prior to any water tank hire.
When choosing a water truck for hire, key features to consider include tank capacity, ensuring it meets your project’s water demands. Look for adjustable spray nozzles for targeted or wide coverage and a high-powered pump for efficient water distribution. Hose length and reel systems improve reach, while safety features like access ladders and non-slip surfaces enhance operator safety. On-road and off-road capabilities are also important for different site conditions. Our water truck hire rates offer flexibility and access to high-performance equipment.
