Water carts

Keep your site running clean and controlled. Shermac’s mine-spec water carts combine advanced spray systems, in-cabin control, and curved tank design for maximum uptime.

Water carts built to work as hard as you do

Shermac water carts are mine-spec compliant as standard, purpose-built for efficient dust suppression and reliable water transport across mine sites and civil projects. Proven in the Pilbara, they deliver steady performance, safer operation, and minimal downtime in the harshest conditions.

The curved tank design lowers the centre of gravity for better stability and balance, reducing wear and eliminating cracking that can halt operations. Inside the cabin, operators have full control over spray patterns and flow, supported by high-quality cannons and easy-to-maintain nozzles that keep performance consistent and servicing simple. Each cart is designed to work hard, last longer, and keep your site running safely and efficiently.

The benefits that keep your fleet moving

Mine-spec compliance as standard

All Shermac water carts are mine-spec compliant straight off the line, fitted with ROPS, wheel chocks, wheel nut indicators, flags, high-vis tape, and cabin-mounted strobes to meet the strictest safety requirements.

Industry-leading spray system

Purpose-built spray locations include triple rear sprayers, a dribble bar, and a high-performance water cannon for precise coverage. Every spray head is designed with removable fins that make cleaning and maintenance quick and simple, even in dirty-water conditions.

Advanced in-cabin spray control

Operators can activate or isolate individual sprayers and cannons directly from the cabin, giving them full control over water placement, flow, and direction for safer, more efficient dust suppression.

Ergonomic and operator-friendly

Every control, label, and access point is positioned for ease of use. From in-cabin operation to ground-level servicing, Shermac’s focus on ergonomics makes daily operation simpler and safer for crews.

Built for Australia’s toughest environments

Each cart is engineered for the heat, vibration, and dust of remote mining and civil sites. Components are corrosion-protected, weather-sealed, and tested to perform around the clock in extreme conditions.

Quality you can trust

Shermac water carts are built to outlast and outperform, delivering a lower total cost of ownership through reduced downtime, longer service life, and consistent reliability that justifies every dollar invested.

Jacob Moore

Top End Civil

It’s definitely the best-looking water cart I’ve seen – it’s a real head-turner and I get positive comments about it every day.
While the compliments are nice, the real benefit is that I now have the best equipment and that maximises my productivity and helps me to do the best job possible. The truck has been fantastic and there is absolutely nothing I would change about the entire process of dealing with Shermac.

Ken Maher

East Coast Generators

We wanted to specify the trailer to suit our needs – this involved the configuration and capacity of tanks and hose reel configurations. Shermac made the configuration process straightforward and seamless, and I was very happy with my interactions with the Shermac design team’.
‘The trailer was delivered on-time and as-specified and being able to deliver more efficient and effective on-site service, the expected benefits have been realised’

John Gallagher

Rockall Pty Ltd

They really couldn’t have built a better unit. It has everything I specified to make it a really versatile piece of equipment – high, low, side and batter sprays, left and right dribble bars, self-fill setup, multi-function cannon, stabiliser setup, fire hose reel and even an enclosed pressure washer unit. Clients look at it and say, “this man has thought of everything!

Rob Harvey

I had a 10 out of 10 experience with Shermac. Their advice and communication were outstanding. All their staff really know what they’re doing, and I simply cannot fault them.

It looks fantastic. We are super excited to take delivery of this watercart. If it’s even half as good as the last Shermac built tank it will be amazing!
