When it comes to efficiently transporting and storing water across remote sites, farms, or construction areas, portable water tanks have become indispensable. Rapid Spray’s innovative poly water tanks bring a modern solution to industries requiring durable, lightweight, and reliable water cartage, setting a new standard for portability and resilience.
Unlike traditional steel or fibreglass options, Rapid Spray’s poly tanks are rustproof, impact-resistant, and require minimal maintenance. Built from UV-stabilised polyethylene, these tanks provide superior corrosion resistance, making them suitable for harsh environments. This lightweight design also means easier handling and reduced transport costs. Whether used for dust suppression, firefighting, or general water transport, these tanks deliver robust performance across various demanding applications.
Transporting liquids can often lead to stability issues, with water sloshing that affects vehicle control. Rapid Spray’s poly tanks can be equipped with the Ball Baffle system, designed to reduce the dangerous surge effect that can occur during transport. By dispersing water movement, this technology increases stability and operator comfort, especially critical when navigating rough terrain. Independently tested by Loadsafe Australia, this system not only minimises rollover risks but also prolongs tank life by reducing wear.
Rapid Spray’s portable water tanks go beyond simple storage:
With every tank built to last and backed by up to a 15-year warranty, Rapid Spray emphasises not just durability but also sustainability. Polyethylene tanks require fewer resources to produce and are recyclable, supporting eco-friendly operations over their long lifespan.
Poly water tanks are versatile and well-suited for a variety of applications across different industries due to their durability, portability, and resistance to corrosion. Here are some common applications:
Dust Suppression
Poly water tanks are frequently used on construction sites, mines, and unpaved roads to manage dust. The tanks can be equipped with spray deflectors that help control dust, enhancing visibility and air quality on site.
Firefighting and Emergency Water Supply
Portable water tanks, especially those with high-flow pumps, are ideal for firefighting in rural and remote areas. They can be mounted on vehicles or trailers and rapidly deployed in emergencies, providing a reliable water source for fire suppression.
Agriculture and Irrigation
Farms use poly water tanks for watering crops, trees, and pastures. They can be mounted on vehicles or trailers, making it easy to reach different areas on large properties that might not have direct water access.
Biosecurity and Cleaning
In industries that require biosecurity measures, such as agriculture and livestock management, portable water tanks can be used for cleaning equipment, vehicles, and animal pens to prevent the spread of disease.
Road Verge and Landscape Maintenance
Councils and contractors use poly water tanks for roadside vegetation management, including watering road verges, trees, and plants in public spaces. The tanks can be easily transported to various locations, making them highly practical for large areas.
Civil Works and Earthmoving Projects
On civil construction sites, poly water tanks support dust suppression, soil compaction, and site preparation. They’re essential on earthmoving sites, helping to control dust and maintain safe, compliant working conditions.
Machinery and Vehicle Washdown
Portable poly tanks with hose reels can be used for washing down heavy equipment and vehicles on-site, preventing mud and debris build-up and helping with equipment maintenance.
Residential and Small-Scale Water Storage
Poly tanks can be used for rainwater harvesting and water storage on residential properties, especially in areas without regular water supply. They provide an eco-friendly way to store water for garden irrigation, washing, or emergency use.
These applications highlight the flexibility of poly water tanks, making them a valuable asset in any operation that requires reliable, portable water transport and storage solutions.
