The mining water carts and trucks we manufacture are designed specifically for Australia’s mining industry with a host of mine spec features, options, and water tanks to choose from, so you know your water cartage solution meets all your operational requirements.
Check out the mine spec features, benefits, and options available when you build your water carts and trucks with us, then talk to one of our team about designing your built-for-purpose water cartage solution.
Shermac’s Roadserve 2000 Series Water Carts are engineered for reliable dust suppression, haul road conditioning and general water cartage across demanding mining and civil environments. Each unit is designed and manufactured in Australia using heavy-gauge steel tanks, mine-spec safety systems and proven pump and spray configurations built for long-term performance.
The tank structure delivers a low centre of gravity for stable handling on uneven ground. All pipework, spray systems and access points are arranged for safe, simple operation and fast daily servicing. Every cart can be tailored to your site’s water capacity requirements, chassis choice and spray layout, giving you a purpose-built solution that supports uptime and reduces operational risk.
Custom builds are available across both 8×4 and 8×8 platforms, with tank capacities up to 40,000 litres and full mine-specification options.
Every Shermac 8×4 and 8×8 water cart is built to meet strict mine-site safety requirements. ROPS and FOPS options, compliant lighting, isolation points, emergency stops and safe access systems are integrated to support safe daily operation.
The tank is built using high-strength steel with fully baffled internals. This improves impact resistance, controls surge and provides long-term durability under continuous vibration and heavy-duty hauling.
Each tank is engineered to sit low within the chassis profile to improve stability on uneven ground. This supports safer operation on haul roads and reduces strain on the truck’s suspension and braking systems.
Hydraulic-driven centrifugal pumps deliver consistent flow for dust suppression and water cartage. Spray kits include left and right batter sprays, a central fan spray and configurable dribble bar options for wide or targeted coverage.
Spray and cannon systems are managed through ergonomic in-cab controls. Operators can adjust flow, direction and spray selection without leaving the cab, supporting safer use during long shifts and changing site conditions.
All pumps, valves and spray components are positioned for clear access. This reduces service time, keeps equipment in rotation and helps maintain predictable maintenance schedules across the fleet.
Tanks are designed to match the GVM of any 8×4 or 8×8 platform. This ensures balanced weight distribution, reliable water volume, and consistent performance regardless of chassis selection.
Each unit is grit blasted, epoxy lined internally and finished with a two-pack paint system. Optional coatings, galvanised pipework and protective treatments provide additional resistance to corrosion, abrasion and high-heat environments.
Self fill option with 3” camlock connection and valves to direct flow from water source via pump into water tank.
Access stairs and railing built to AS 1657-1992, providing safe and efficient operator access.
Conveniently placed ergonomic spray and cannon control.
Chassis-mounted spare wheel carrier (where chassis space is available).
16-ply deep lug tyres for better off-road durability.

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.
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’
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!
HRV Group
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.

“When the unit [service trailer] arrived, everyone was blown away. It is top-of-the-line equipment, and we were very happy with it. Our on-site team love it and it enables them to present extremely professional on site.”
Mildura, VIC
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!
ESM Resources Pty Ltd
We recently purchased an 8x4 Watercart from Shermac. Couldn't be happier with their service and the quality of the product speaks for itself. Highly recommend.
