What is a Water Tanker Truck?

A water bowser truck or Water Tanker Truck is a piece of farm equipment that is used for water storage and transportation. Water Tanker Trucks can come in a range of sizes. Water Tanker Trucks are most commonly found on farm sites or areas that don't have access to water, which is why these trucks are such valuable pieces of equipment. Smaller water tankers can be fitted onto trailers for towing or they can be attached to smaller LDVs.

What is the purpose of a Water Tanker Truck for farming?

Water is such an important commodity in the farming community because it is used for the irrigation of crops and as drinking water for animals. In some instances, farmers are unable to pipe water to certain locations so water must be transported to these locations so that the crops can be watered. Water tanks are also used to get water to animals that graze out in the fields.
