Government water trailers are a bit different than industrial water trailers. Government water trailers are typically specified with heavier duty axles and trailers to withstand the punishment of daily use. There has been a large uptick in water trailers used by government agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Army, Navy and Air Force, U.S. department of Interior Indian Affairs, Federal Bureau of Prisons and much more in both the USA and Canada.
Why Has Water Trailer Use Increased?
Water trailers are being used more and more by both government and industry. Advances in technology has expanded the role and range of possibilities water trailers can serve in communities. Government agencies typically have an existing fleet of pick up trucks that are more than capable of hauling water trailers for specific uses and then detaching and storing the water trailer for future use. The government agency can save tax payer dollars by not needing to purchase expensive large trucks and instead utilizing more versatile trailer systems. Warmer weather with drought spells across the east coast, west coast, South and Prairies has necessitated investing in auxiliary fire fighting equipment to fight brush fires, forest fires. Water trailers can help protect property from fires both before and during fire fighting activities.
The fight against single use plastics and glass has also expanded the role of water trailers in communities across the USA and Canada. Water trailer models are now designed with FDA compliant plumbing for potable water, pumps and faucets for mobile drinking water solutions. In hot climates, the water trailer can be designed with a fluid chilling system, so the temperature inside the tank can be controlled.
