OUT WITH THE OLD,
IN WITH THE NEW
Steel water carts have long been seen as the tank of choice for serious players — but those times are changing.
Portable poly water tanks are more durable, better value and offer bigger payloads for all applications, and TTI’s range of poly tank solutions come fully-featured with top of the line gear — it’s not just slip-ons anymore.
As Coates Hire, Boral Quarries, Programmed and other major players make the switch to TTI, the new era in water trucks is here.
WHY CHOOSE POLY?
Fully-Featured Fit Outs
Far beyond the slip-on — TTI designs, develops and manufactures complete poly water tanks for truck solutions here in Australia.
Using only top of the line components from reputable manufacturers, we offer fully-spec’d solutions for all your water cartage needs.
Larger Payloads
At just one fifth of the weight of a similar size steel tank, a poly tank will give you on average 20 percent more from every load.
That means less time spent refilling and more time on the job, without needing to upgrade to a bigger truck.
Built To Last (not to rust)
Over time, steel tanks have a tendency to rust.
Our rotomoulded plastic water tanks for trucks are engineered to withstand the harsh Australian conditions now, and in years to come.
We even back it up with a full 25 year warranty on every tank.
More Cost Effective
Why pay more? TTIs poly water tanks for trucks cost on average 15% less than a similar sized steel tank.
With a bigger payload, better durability and fully specced fit out, it’s the smart choice.
