Heavy Duty Truck Mounted Fire Tanks

Bushfire Store’s Truck Mounted Fire Tanks are designed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of firefighting across Australia’s rural and industrial sectors. These tanks are trusted by landowners, agricultural industries, civil and construction companies, and local councils for their reliability in both fire emergencies and water transport applications. Built tough for Australian bushfire conditions, these tanks are ideal for firefighting, water cartage, dust suppression, and landscaping.

Key Features for Effective Fire Fighting

1. Fire Fighting Hose Reel with Nozzle:
   • Equipped with a high pressure hose reel and a firefighting nozzle, our Truck Mounted Fire Tanks provide precise water control, crucial during fire emergencies. The adjustable nozzles allow for a powerful jet or mist spray, helping you target fires effectively from various distances. The hose reel ensures easy maneuverability, enabling swift and controlled firefighting, even in hard to reach areas.
2. Steel Skid Frame:
   • Mounted on a durable steel skid frame, these fire tanks can be easily loaded onto trucks using forklifts, telehandlers and other equipment. The skid frame is designed for heavy duty use, ensuring the tank remains secure during transport across uneven terrain. Whether you’re operating on a farm, a construction site, or a bushfire zone, this skid mounted feature adds versatility to your firefighting arsenal.
3. Efficient Water Refill Options:
   • Our Truck Mounted Fire Tanks come with both overhead and bottom filling options. This allows you to quickly refill your tank from external water sources such as dams, creeks, or hydrants, ensuring you’re always prepared for fire emergencies. The quick fill suction kit included with the unit further enhances its ability to rapidly refill the tank and get you back in action.

Available Sizes and Customisation

We offer truck mounted fire tanks in capacities ranging from 1200 to 13,000 litres, catering to both small and large firefighting operations. The tanks are made from UV stabilized polyethylene with an impressive 15 year warranty. Whether it’s a small tipper truck, or larger flatbed truck, we have a variety of tank sizes that suit different fire risk scenarios and operational needs.

Pump Power and Water Delivery

Each unit is equipped with high performance Honda or Yanmar powered pumps from trusted brands like Davey, Aussie Pumps, and Onga. These pumps are specifically designed for fire suppression, delivering a high pressure stream of water to quickly douse flames and prevent the spread of bushfires. The efficient pump systems also make our units perfect for water cartage and dust suppression tasks.

Choosing the Right Truck Mounted Fire Tank

Selecting the right Truck Mounted Fire Tank depends on several important factors:

• Tank Size: For those primarily focused on firefighting, smaller tanks (1200L to 6,000L) may be sufficient. For operations that require water transport or dust suppression, larger capacities up to 13,000L are ideal.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Ensure that your truck can handle the load of the tank. Our skid mounted tanks are designed for easy attachment to any truck, making them versatile across multiple industries.
• Fire Fighting Needs: If you are located in bushfire prone areas, an additional fire hose reel, or upgrade to a more powerful fire pump, may be beneficial to increase your fire fighting capabilities.
