Water trucks are an essential part of large and small construction and mining operations. Road maintenance, dust suppression and compaction are among the most popular uses for these powerful pieces of equipment. Water trucks differ from traditional trucks because they come with a custom chassis design, special tank specifications, pumping equipment and mounting apparatuses installed.
A mining water truck comes in several designs and sizes, and they have trucks that can easily haul 36,000 litres in a single trip. For mining operations, you can get water trucks that come with safety equipment and off-road tyres that have additional reinforcement for better stability.
Each truck also has slightly different filling and spraying capabilities depending on the intended use. For example, your water truck may have filler pipes mounted on the near side through an opening in the top of the tank. Spray nozzles can be on the front, rear or side of the truck, and the driver typically controls them from the truck's cab. You'll find hose reels, drip bars, water cannons and much more.
Your water truck can take on a variety of projects throughout Western Australia, and wet hire ensures that you'll get a skilled operator. Wet hire also removes the stress that comes with trying to find your own water truck operator if you don't have one on staff. Instead, you get an experienced person that'll work with your staff to finish your project. The most popular applications for a water truck include:
