Here we will discuss what you should look for when you want to buy a water truck. Firstly you need to know what you are going to be using it for. Will it be used for road construction dust control or working in and around a mining site? Who will be driving it? How often will it be used?

1.Where will the water truck be working? Very important question because some work places will require some safety equipment to be added to your water truck e.g. flashing light when in motion on road construction sites. Mining sites might require a more robust water truck due to the harsh conditions.

2. How often will the water truck be used? Very important to know what sort of hours your water truck will be doing. If you are looking at long hours then perhaps you should be thinking of buying a new water truck covered by insurance if possible. Less likely to break down and would be more reliable in th elong term

3. Who will be driving the water truck? This question will determine whether you should be looking at an automatic or a manual. Obviously if you are going to have a range of people jumping into the water truck, the simpler it is to drive the less chance of damage to the gear box - go automatic! 

4. To finance or not? Obviously the financing or buying of a water truck will depend on your circumstances however it is always nice to be able to finance and not tie up any of your free cash by buying a water truck outright. Another option is hire purchase offered by some but not all sellers of water trucks.

So if you are looking at buying a water truck don't forget to run through the above questions to determine what you need.

With the recent bushfire devastation in Victoria especially the Kinglake & Marysville areas, Water Carts Direct have got behind this appeal and made a donation to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

In past bush fires in NSW, Water Carts Direct have donated the use of their water trucks to transport water to areas where there has been limited water to fight fires. We understand the devastation these bushfires can cause as well as the long term heart break for the victims involved. Immediate needs that these people require can be supplied by the Red Cross utilising money donated to their worthy cause.

So we at Water Carts Direct encourage any business or individual to dig deep and make a contribution to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal to assist in getting the people affected by these bushfires back on their feet and back into a normal life.

 Dust suppression is always a factor when dealing with construction sites, building zones, roadwork's and any other type of construction work involving digging, clearing or dumping.

Dust, once it becomes an airborne particle, can pose a health risk to humans & the environment. One of the most effective and economical way of reducing & controlling dust is by using moisture. The use of a water truck to spray the ground or area with water is a safe and economical dust suppression solution.

A water truck can come in various sizes to cater for all types of jobs from large construction sites & zones through to playing fields and ovals, paddocks & tracks.

Water Carts Direct offer a range of water trucks for a range of water requirements from dust suppression and control through to large pool fills & watering of council & local parkland. With the ability to dry hire a water truck (hire a water truck without a truck driver), you can reduce your costs. You can hire a water truck on site to use when you need it without the additional cost of the truck driver. All Water Carts Direct water trucks are easy to operate and have automatic transmissions for ease of driving. The sprayers on each water truck are ideal for small and large area dust suppression & control.

Contact Water Carts Direct to discuss your water truck requirements for dust suppression, construction site compaction or any other water needs you may have.
