Smarter Fleet Upgrade for Buloke Shire: 14,000L Purpose-Built Tank Replacement

Background & Challenge

Buloke Shire in regional Victoria recently partnered with Allquip to upgrade an existing water tank in their fleet.

The Isuzu chassis still had significant service life remaining. However, the previous tank was no longer safe with mounting and internal safety issues for the operator and the community.

Rather than replacing the entire vehicle, Buloke Shire sought a smarter, more cost-effective solution – a purpose-built replacement tank engineered to meet council specifications and modern safety standards.

They required a flexible pumping configuration, either hydraulically driven or auxiliary motor.

Solutions & Benefits

Allquip delivered a tailchose14,000L water cart solution specifically for Buloke Shire’s operational requirements.  

Buloke Shire Council chose our most popular spray combo, including:  

• Centre rear deflector spray 
• Left & right rear deflector sprays 
• Underbody V-jet spray bar 
• In-cabin control system  
• Auxiliary diesel pump. 
• MDG 15 water cart wiring 
• All Hella LED lighting  

The result was a full integrated and operator-friendly system that improved efficiency and safety.
