  • Haul road watering: Helps stabilise road surfaces, reduce airborne dust and minimise wear on haul routes, contributing to safer and more efficient vehicle movement.
  • Civil construction: Supports compaction, site preparation and general water cart duties across bulk earthworks and infrastructure projects.
  • Mining operations: Provides reliable, high-volume water delivery for production environments where consistent performance is critical.

High Capacity Equipment to Support your Site Requirements

Our fleet of Caterpillar 773 water trucks are built for heavy-duty performance across mining, civil and agricultural environments, giving your team the capability to manage large-scale site demands with confidence.

Key features include:

  • 45,000L water capacity: Ideal for high-production sites requiring consistent coverage over large areas, reducing the need for frequent refilling.
  • Water cannon: Allows for targeted spraying in specific areas, giving operators greater control and flexibility on site.
  • Magnum spray water system: Delivers even and efficient water distribution across haul roads and work zones, improving dust control outcomes.

This combination of capacity and control helps support productivity while maintaining safe and compliant site conditions.
