On the iSeekplant database, water carts are some of our most-requested machines for civil and mining applications with new and improved variations being created. We have a number of water truck, water cart and water tanker hire suppliers available throughout the nation in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide and remote areas.
Water trucks are commonly used in mining for dust control. There are a series of spray nozzles on these trucks that spray water to hydrate mines. Water trucks need to be able to contain large volumes of water, meaning they have special mounting apparatuses and tank specifications. Some of the spray options include gravity dumps, water cannons, hose reels, along with side or front sprays. You’ll find a number of water truck hire suppliers often used in the construction industry for fire-prevention and protection, dust control and compaction. These trucks come in both large and small sizes, meaning you’ll be able to find one that best suits your project. Water trucks are also equipped with off-road tyres so the truck can travel on rough terrain throughout many different sites.
There are two types of water carts that you’ll generally see from our water cart hire suppliers - dump truck mounted water carts and road truck mounted water carts. While road truck mounted water carts can travel on the road as registered vehicles, they typically have a smaller capacity between 16,000 and 20,000 litres. Dump truck mounted water carts can only be used for off-road applications, however they can carry up to 50,000 litres. You’ll usually find larger dump truck mounted water carts on mining projects.
Water tankers are purpose-built tanker trailers that can be fitted onto a tipper and looks similar to a large fuel tanker. Water tankers are usually hired to carry water for long distances across states, particularly for remote work needing a large volume of water. You can also find water scrapers, which are water tanks mounted onto the body of a scraper. Water loads can be carried low to the ground with water scrapers, allowing them to be slowly crawled across even ground.

Water carts operate by mounting a water tank to the body of a truck or dump truck with multiple hose and cannon attachments. Water carts are available for hire through iSeekplant for your next construction or mining project.
