Choosing this machine
Dust is a health obligation, not just a nuisance — respirable dust exposure is regulated and monitored on South African mine sites. A water bowser is also the cheapest way to extend haul road life and reduce tyre wear, which is why it is one of the most consistently utilised machines in any fleet.
Dry hire or wet hire
This machine is available on dry hire — machine only, you supply a qualified operator — or on wet hire, which includes a certified, mine-inducted operator, fuel and routine maintenance in a single rate.
We also handle transport to and from site and supply tyres for machines you already own.
