Truck or cart?

Same job, different ground. Getting this wrong is what bogs a truck on day one.

Water trucks are for formed roads and hardstand.

Road-registered Isuzu FVZ260s. They carry more water, refill quickly at a standpipe and drive between sites under their own steam, so you are not paying for a float every time the job moves. If your haul roads are formed and trafficable, this is the faster and cheaper option.

Water carts are for ground a truck cannot cross.

Articulated Hydrema 912ES units. They go where a rigid truck would bog: soft subgrade, batters, early-stage bulk earthworks and anything after rain. Lower capacity and slower between fills, but they keep working on days the trucks cannot leave the hardstand.

Not sure which one the site needs?

Tell us the ground conditions and the stage the job is at when you request a quote. We run both, so there is nothing in it for us either way, and we would rather put the right machine on site than send one back.

Water truck hire questions.

The things people ask before they book.

Do you hire water trucks with an operator?

Both ways. Wet hire includes one of our licensed operators. Dry hire is the truck only and you supply the driver, who will need an HR licence as a minimum for the FVZ260s.

Who supplies the water?

Normally you do, through a site standpipe or a nominated fill point. If you need us to arrange supply or carting from off site, say so when you request the quote and we will price it in rather than surprise you later.

How far out of Perth will you send one?

Perth metro as standard and regional WA on request. Float and travel are quoted per job, so give us the site address when you enquire and the number you get back is the number you pay.

How quickly can you get one on site?

Same day is often possible through the cooler months. Over summer the water fleet books out early, because every civil job in Perth wants dust suppression at once, so give us as much notice as you can.

Need water on site?

Tell us the job, the ground conditions and the dates. You will get a complete quote back, usually the same day.
