Built for the Long Haul: How the WT30 Water Tank Range Protects Your Truck and Simplifies Refurbishment
In Australia’s civil, mining, and dry hire sectors, a water truck isn’t a short-term asset—it’s a long-term investment. And to maximise ROI over that life cycle, smart operators look beyond the initial build. They plan for refurbishment, reliability, and resale.
Too many water trucks are designed to be disposable—hard-mounted tanks, inaccessible components, and water pathways that quietly corrode the chassis over time.
That’s why we engineered the WT30 Water Tank Range differently:
To protect the truck, preserve the asset, and make mid-life servicing fast, practical, and cost-effective.
Every Feature Focused on Long-Term Protection
We’ve seen firsthand what kills trucks early: hidden corrosion, trapped moisture, and inaccessible frames. So we built the WT30 around the principles of water control, structural separation, and service access.
✅ Full-Length Guards with Integrated Brush Seals
Water from overfills doesn’t just spill—it creeps. Our WT30 features full-length protective guards with brush seals that actively deflect water away from the base of the tank. This prevents water from tracking down into chassis flanges, cross members, and vulnerable rail sections.
✅ Sealed Subframe Gaps Post-Fitment
Even well-mounted tanks can become corrosion traps if gaps are left unsealed. Our teams seal all major subframe cavities post-fitment to prevent hidden water ingress—a long-term rust prevention method that most builders ignore.
✅ Chassis Seal & Paint Package (Optional)
Before the tank is installed, we offer internal and external chassis coating using Epinamal DTM. This seals chassis rails from moisture intrusion and strengthens long-term durability.
✅ Lid Design That Routes Water Off the Rear
Informed by Road Tanker Standards, our new lid design sheds rain and overspray toward the rear of the truck—protecting cab electrics, air systems, and forward suspension.
Engineered for Mid-Life Refurbishment: Fast, Clean, and Practical
Unlike conventional welded tanks or designs that “bury” the truck underneath the build, the WT30 is modular by design.
🔧 Fast Lid and Tank Removal by Qualified Teams
The tank lid and the full tank assembly can be removed from the chassis within hours by qualified maintenance crews. No cutting. No grinding. No structural compromise.
This opens up the opportunity for:
-
Thorough chassis blasting and repainting
-
Tank surface blast and recoat
-
Mid-life pump or plumbing upgrades
-
Future repurposing of the cab chassis
A typical WT30 can be fully stripped down, recoated, and refitted over a weekend shutdown—giving fleets years of extended service without the cost of new capital investment.
Built to Be Rebuilt
Most water tanks are built to be used, worn out, and scrapped.
The WT30 is built to be used, maintained, and rebuilt for the next life cycle.
Whether you're a hire company with tight ROI expectations or a Tier 1 contractor managing total cost of ownership, the WT30 offers an engineered advantage few others can match.

This approach didn’t start with refurbishment—it started with smarter design.
