Emergency Potable Water Trailer Details

Our potable water trailers are made in the USA with heavy duty materials that stand up to the most rigorous outdoor conditions, including: Norwesco leg tanks, channel iron frames, and a selection of engines and pumps. Additional accessories allow you to make your potable water trailer as customized as you'd like it to be. We also carry complete water trailer units for you to purchase, without having to build your own.

Fire Fighting Yellow TrailerThe Norwesco leg tank is manufactured with resins that meet FDS specifications to ensure the safe storage of potable water. Our tanks come in sizes ranging from 525 gallons to 1600 gallons. Leg tanks provide a baffling effect to minimize sway from the weight of water in transit, and are available in either a translucent model or a black model. For the purposes of potable water storage we recommend a black Norwesco leg tank. The black tank model will block sunlight from entering the tank, inhibiting algae growth. Other features of the tanks include the top fill port and tank baffles to reduce water movement during transport and increase stability. The channel iron frame of the potable water trailers are heavy duty and come equipped with cross member supports, heavy duty jacks, safety chains and step platforms, as well as mounting inside the frame for the engine and pump.

Both the Norwesco leg tank and the trailer frame have manufacturer warranty options for you. The trailer has a 5-year non-prorated warranty and the leg tank options have a 3 or 5 year warranty. Our emergency potable water trailers come with non DOT or DOT features. For the emergency potable water trailer we recommend the DOT features to ensure the safe transport of your trailer on public roads and highways. DOT features includes electric brakes, lights, fenders, ball couplers, and highway tires. Other accessories and add-ons we offer with our water trailers include engines and pumps, speeds controllers, inductors and eductors, ladders, spray guns and spray bars, hoses and reels, fitting and valves and so much more!

The best part? You can pick and choose which features you want and which you don't want. Don't pay for anything that doesn't meet your needs.
