Engineer-specified truck-mount and trailer-mount plastic tanks for water cartage, fuel transfer, dust suppression and field dosing.
Industrial Plastics fabricates custom truck and trailer-mount plastic tanks in HDPE (PE100) and polypropylene for water cartage, dust suppression, mining-haul road bowsers, council fleet, agricultural spraying and fuel transfer applications. Internal baffles, dished ends, frame mounts and saddle interfaces designed to your chassis.
Brisbane workshop, since 1971. ISO 9001:2015 certified by SGS. Tanks designed to DVS 2205 and welded to DVS 2207 by qualified welders.
Truck-mount tank applications
- Water cartage, 2,000 to 30,000 L cartage tanks for civil construction, council and rural water delivery. Internal baffles, top manway, bottom valving.
- Dust suppression, Mining and quarry haul-road water trucks. Abrasion-rated PE100 RC. Optional pump and spray-bar mounts.
- Spray & field dosing, Agriculture and council weed-spray rigs. PP for chemical compatibility, calibrated graduations, pump platforms.
- Fuel & lube, Bunded diesel and fuel transfer tanks. AS 1940 compliant. Trailer-mount or truck-tray.
How we engineer truck tanks
Engineering considerations
- Internal baffles: reduce slosh and dynamic loading on chassis
- Dished or sloped ends: drainage, structural rigidity
- Frame, saddle and tie-down points: designed to your chassis or trailer
- Manways, fill ports, vents, level indicators to your spec
- Wall thickness calculated for static head + dynamic loading + abrasion margin
- AS/NZS 4766 for static design; AS/NZS 4929 for abrasion-resistant grades
Standards we build to
| DVS 2205 | German thermoplastic tank design standard, static design calculations, wall thickness, chemical resistance, and structural verification. |
| DVS 2207 | German plastic welding standard, welder qualification, weld procedures, and weld testing. |
| ISO 9001:2015 | Quality management system. Independently certified by SGS. |
| AS/NZS 4766 | Polyethylene storage tanks for water and chemicals. |
| AS/NZS 4020 | Products in contact with drinking water. Applied on potable applications. |

Frequently asked questions
Water cartage from 2,000 to 30,000 litres, dust suppression for mining and quarry haul roads, agricultural and council spray rigs, and bunded diesel and fuel transfer tanks.
Internal baffles reduce slosh and dynamic loading, dished or sloped ends add rigidity and drainage, and frame, saddle and tie down points are designed to your chassis or trailer. Wall thickness is calculated for static head plus dynamic loading plus an abrasion margin.
Yes. Potable applications are fabricated to AS/NZS 4020.
Bunded diesel and fuel transfer tanks are AS 1940 compliant, trailer mount or truck tray.
Dust suppression tanks use abrasion rated PE100 RC, with AS/NZS 4929 applied for abrasion resistant grades.
