Portable Water Tanks

Portable Water Tanks for Australia’s Civil, Mining, and Agricultural Industries

When it comes to transporting and storing water in the harsh Australian environment, you need equipment that’s tough, reliable, and designed to perform under pressure. At Oxquip, we specialise in Portable Water Cartage Tanks that cater to the unique needs of the civil, mining, council, and agricultural industries. With a focus on durability, versatility, and compliance, our tanks are built to withstand Australia’s demanding conditions while providing efficient solutions for water transport and storage.

Why Oxquip Portable Water Tanks Are the Best Choice

1. Compliant with Australian Standards

When it comes to safety and quality, Oxquip tanks meet the highest benchmarks. All our water cartage tanks comply with Australian Standards AS/NZS 4020 for potable water use, ensuring they are safe for drinking water. They’re also manufactured using food grade virgin polyethylene, making them suitable for agricultural and domestic applications alike.

2. Built to Withstand Tough Conditions

Australia’s rugged terrain and harsh climate are no match for Oxquip water tanks. Made from UV stabilised polyethylene, these tanks resist cracking, warping, and sun damage, even after years of exposure to extreme heat. Additionally, their impact resistant design ensures they won’t fail under pressure when mounted on vehicles driving across rough tracks.

3. Engineered to Prevent Algae Growth

One of the most common issues with water storage tanks is algae contamination, which thrives in warm, light filled environments. Oxquip’s tanks are specially designed with thick, opaque walls to block sunlight and prevent algae from forming. This ensures the water stays fresh and clean, even during prolonged storage in the Australian sun.

4. Customised Solutions for Every Application

Oxquip offers a wide range of sizes, from 220 litres to 17,000 litres, ensuring there’s a tank for every job. Whether you need a small, ute mounted tank for farm use or a larger water cartage tank for civil construction projects, our tanks are designed to fit:

• Utes and trailers for on the go water supply.
• Skid setups with pumps and hoses for flexibility in remote locations.
• Truck mounted systems for large scale operations.

With optional accessories like pumps, hoses, and fittings, Oxquip tanks can be tailored to suit your exact requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Portable Water Tanks

1. Why won’t algae grow in Oxquip range of water cartage tanks?

Algae needs sunlight, heat, and water to thrive. Oxquip tanks are designed with thick, UV stabilised walls that block sunlight and prevent the warm conditions algae require. This ensures your water remains clean and safe, even during long term storage in harsh Australian climates.

2. How do I know if a water cartage tank is safe for drinking water?

All Oxquip tanks comply with AS/NZS 4020 standards, meaning they are certified safe for storing potable water. Additionally, our tanks are made from food grade virgin polyethylene, ensuring no harmful chemicals leach into the water.

3. Can the tanks handle being transported on rough terrain?

Absolutely. Oxquip’s tanks are engineered with impact resistant polyethylene and designed to flex slightly with vehicle movement, preventing cracks or structural damage. They also come with secure mounting points to ensure stability during transit, no matter how rough the terrain.

4. How do I prevent water from spilling or leaking during transport?

Oxquip tanks feature leak proof seals and secure mounting systems to prevent spills. For added protection, optional accessories like anti surge baffles can minimise water movement within the tank, improving stability during transport.

5. Do I need a special base for my water cartage tank?

Yes, it’s essential to place your tank on a stable, flat base to avoid stress on the structure. This prevents tank fatigue and ensures long-term durability. For stationary setups, a secondary containment bund may be required to capture spills and prevent environmental contamination.
