Turn your existing truck into a water truck
Hooklift water carts are designed primarily for Hooklift trucks. They’re perfect for general civil works or road construction, dust suppression or landscape watering. TTi's FloodRite™ hooklift water carts turn your existing hooklift truck into a water cart without the need for a dedicated vehicle. Mounted on a galvanised skid frame, each unit can be loaded and unloaded using a compatible hooklift system, allowing operators to switch between water cartage and other tasks. Available in 10,000L, 13,000L and 15,000L capacities, the range delivers flexible water cartage for demanding worksites.

Hooklift Water Cart Application
From controlling dust to delivering water across large worksites, hooklift water carts give operators the flexibility to handle a range of jobs with the same truck. Their interchangeable design makes them particularly useful for businesses already running hooklift equipment.
Common applications include:
- Dust suppression: Controlling airborne dust on construction sites, haul roads, mining operations and quarry access tracks.
- Road construction and civil earthworks: Delivering water for soil conditioning, compaction and site preparation.
- Landscape watering: Supplying water for large-scale landscaping, revegetation and roadside maintenance.
- Site wash down: Cleaning work areas, machinery and equipment where suitable water delivery is required.
Civil contractors, councils, hire fleets and mining operators can use these units across different projects. Waste and recycling businesses already operating hooklift bins can also add water cartage to their existing fleet.
Unlike a fixed water truck, a hooklift unit can be removed when the job is complete, freeing the truck for other work.
Hooklift Water Cart Sizes and Specifications: Finding the Right Fit
Choosing the right water cart for hooklift truck operations starts with your vehicle’s GVM, available payload and hooklift system. TTi offers three FloodRite capacities: 10,000L, 13,000L and 15,000L. Each litre of water adds approximately one kilogram to the load, so a full 10,000L tank carries around 10 tonnes of water before accounting for the tank, frame, pump and other components.
The galvanised skid frame features an A-frame hook, forklift pockets and lifting lugs for handling and installation. Before ordering, confirm your truck’s hook height, rail spacing and rated lifting capacity with TTi to ensure compatibility.
