VEHICLES, TRUCKS & TRAILERS
Tanker manufacturer,WTBB has developed
a range of portable tanker kits that can
convert tippers or flatbed trucks into
water carts. No vehicle modifications or
structural changes are required.
The very flexible ‘Tipper-Tank’ package
fromWTBB based in Port Kembla can turn
a tip truck into a road tanker in minutes.
The base model is a 10,000 litre rapid
spray poly tank equipped with an Aussie
high volume, high pressure, 3” diesel drive
pump. Spray heads, dribble bar and an
integrated hose reel with fire-fighting
spray nozzle provide flexibility
WTBB’s Brenden Bastian said: “We’ve
added a number of user-friendly features to
take the pain out of swapping from tanker
to tipper and vice versa. The heavy duty
galvanised steel base has integrated fork
tynes slots for ease of movement,” he said.
Tippers to tanker
The tank set has an optional jack-leg kit
that means the tank can be unloaded from
the truck without a crane or fork lift. The

Kennovations has designed a Trailer Hoist
which stacks trailers vertically to store
and dispense up to four vehicle trailers
at a time. Taking up 9sqm of space, the
Trailer Hoist provides a dedicated space
for trailers with added security from theft
and vandalism.
The Trailers are sequentially hooked and
winched up with a main frame that is a
bolted and welded steel structure made
primarily of square hollow sections. A
safety cable connecting to a low level
hook passing through two pulleys is used
to support the load safely in the long term,
while the lifting frame holds all trailers in
Trailer hoist stacks vertically
suspension. Feasibility
tests were undertaken
to ensure the stability
of the structure
against buckling and
that strength was not
compromised due to
slippage on the ground
of any of the footings
or adverse weather
conditions.
The original Trailer
Hoists were engineered
in three sizes for
the Kennards Hire
tank kit can be left jacked up and ready to
be mounted on the truck when required.
"WTBB exclusively uses Aussie Pump
tanker pumps. These pumps will suck
through a vertical lift of up to 8.4m,”
Brenden said.
The base kit includes a heavy duty Aussie
model QP310SL high pressure 3” pump
that boasts flows of up to 1,100lpm.
Maximum head is 50m, that’s 75psi,
providing loads of pressure for spray heads
and dribble bar.
The pump is powered by a Kubota 0C95
9.5hp air-cooled diesel engine with
integrated solenoid and remote control kit.
A remote control can also start and stop
the pump from up to 50m away.
A full technical specification is
available from:
rental fleet: a 6m x 4m
car trailer, an 8m x 5m
van trailer and a mini
earthmoving equipment
trailer. Throughout their
national rental network,
Kennards currently utilises
approximately 45 Trailer
Hoists with some stores
holding multiple units
depending on local rental
needs.
