Water Trailers

In a state where drought and dust are constant realities, a water trailer is infrastructure. It supports dust suppression, livestock, new landscaping, fire protection, and any jobsite without a hydrant nearby.

Heavy duty water tank trailer on a dusty Texas ranch road

Overview

Capacity typically ranges from 300 to 1,600 gallons. Remember that water weighs about 8.34 lbs per gallon, so a 1,000-gallon tank adds more than 8,300 lbs of payload before counting the trailer itself. Baffled tanks are essential to control surge under braking.

Pump packages define usefulness. A gas-powered transfer pump with hose reel, spray bar, and fill fittings turns a tank into a working tool for dust control, irrigation, and equipment washdown.
