General Questions
Our tanks and trailers are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, safety and reliability. Here are some common questions about their construction, warranty and customisation.
Are your tanks double-walled?

Are your tanks and trailers truly Australian-made?
Absolutely. Our tanks and trailers are proudly 100% Australian-made in our factory located in Lake Cargelligo, NSW. Unlike some suppliers who import components, we manufacture all tanks and trailers completely from scratch onsite. This guarantees quality control, faster turnaround times, and full compliance with Australian standards.

Can your trailers handle rough conditions on mining or construction sites?
Yes, our trailers are engineered for the toughest conditions. Built to withstand harsh Australian environments, they have been rigorously tested on mine sites and construction zones for over 10 years, ensuring durability and reliability even in the most challenging terrain.
Can you paint the tanks or trailers in colours other than standard white?
