Question 6

Why do water tanks need to be properly baffled?

Accepted Answer

A tank baffle system is essential for the stability of your water cart, and helps to minimise water surge during vehicle motion, acceleration/braking and cornering. 
 
Water tanks may be ball baffled or wall baffled, depending on the type of tank.
Either way, a poorly designed baffle system can be ineffective in stablising the vehicle, and might even shorten the usable life of the water truck by weakening the tank. 
 
All Allquip water carts are designed with advanced stability control, including low profile tank designs and internal ball or wall baffle systems. You can trust that our water trucks are dynamically engineered for the long road ahead!

Question 7

Why is tank design and mounting so important?

Accepted Answer

A poorly designed tank will almost always result in a heavier and possibly weaker water tank. A heavier tank will lead to reduced payload and decreased profits, whilst a weaker tank is likely to fracture and crack, resulting in unwanted downtime. 
 
An incorrectly mounted tank will cause several probelms, including damage to the tank structure, sub-frame and truck chassis. Not to mention, an incorrectly mounted tank would not comply with vehicle regulations.
 
That is why choosing a water truck manufacturer that understands the necessity of quality tank design and mounting is so important. With decades of knowledge and experience behind us, Allquip is the expert many Australian rely on when it comes to water tanks.

Question 8

Why should I use a certified body builder?

Accepted Answer

While there are a lot of water truck builders out there, not everyone has the knowledge required to build a unit that will be durable, reliable, and deliver a great user experience. By using a certified body builder, you will recieve the benefits of experience and capability.
