Custom-built semi water tankers to match your fleet

Shermac’s Roadserve 3000 Series Semi Water Carts are built for long-haul water transport and high-volume dust suppression in heavy mining and civil environments. Each unit is engineered to suit your preferred prime mover, with multi-combination compatibility that supports larger fleet setups and extended haul routes.

The curved, low-profile tank delivers better weight distribution and smoother movement, reducing structural fatigue during continual sloshing. An oscillating skid plate adds further protection by relieving stress on the tank mounts when travelling over uneven ground. Operators benefit from enclosed pump and reel compartments, quality hydraulic systems, and a layout that keeps servicing simple in remote conditions.

Every Roadserve 3000 tanker can be customised to your site requirements, including spray configurations, mine-spec safety features, and control options.

The benefits that keep your fleet moving

Mine-spec compliance as standard

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.

Curved water tank design

Curved water tank design

Shermac’s signature curved tank shape lowers the centre of gravity, increases structural integrity, and eliminates weak points where cracks form. It has been proven to prevent leaks and downtime, with a record of zero tank failures across every cart in service.

Durable steel tank construction

Oscillating skid plate for reduced fatigue

A purpose-designed skid plate allows controlled movement between the tank and trailer frame, which helps prevent cracking and structural fatigue when travelling over uneven ground.

Multi-combination compatible

Multi-combination compatible

Shermac semi tankers hook seamlessly into a variety of prime movers and multi-trailer arrangements, giving operators flexibility across different haul profiles and fleet setups.
