Klein Porto-Tower Portable Water Tower

Water towers and tanks are an alternative to buying a fully featured water truck because they give you the flexibility to use them as standalone solutions or to turn an existing vehicle into a water truck. Some of the items in this category are portable so you can tow them from one worksite to another, while others are permanent or semi-permanent and are intended to stay in one place for an extended period. You will find body kits for sale as well, which are compatible with medium-duty pickup trucks and vocational trucks or off-road articulated trucks for upfitting purposes. There are also dedicated misters designed specifically for dust control, such as the C W Machine Worx CWX-D1003M Dust Regulator.

Versatility

Standalone water tanks and towers typically range in capacity from 50 to 20,000 gallons (189 to 75,700 liters), depending on the form factor, and are used for a wide range of applications. They are typically made from polyethylene plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel and don’t require special considerations unless you require potable drinking water, in which case you’ll need to purchase a food-grade tank. With water towers specifically, you can choose between portable models with wheels that resemble tanker trailers or standing water towers, which typically stay in one place and are well suited for work in quarries, mines, and similar environments.

Water tanks are similar to water trucks in that you can use them for dust suppression, emergency firefighting, soil compaction for road construction, and more. Water towers are unique because you typically use them to refill other water distribution equipment. Portable towers, in particular, are well suited for that use case because you can transport them to a worksite close to other trucks and equipment so they don’t need to travel long distances to fill up with water. This helps make your operation more efficient with less downtime, especially if you find a water tank with a fast refill rate.
