Site tow or road tow?
Site tow
For farms, building sites, estates and other private land. A site tow bowser has a simpler chassis without road lights, so it must not be towed on a public road.
Road tow (highway)
Built to be towed on public roads, with lights, mudguards and a number plate holder. If you need to get from one field or site to another by road, this is the one you need.
Check the weight
Water weighs 1 kg per litre, so a full 1,125 litre bowser weighs well over a tonne. Check your vehicle's towing limit before you choose a size.
A trailer that weighs more than 750 kg fully loaded needs its own brakes.
What's it for?
Drinking water: choose a drinking water bowser with a food-grade tank.
Livestock: bowsers with a trough let animals drink straight from the bowser.
Cleaning: pressure washer bowsers carry their own water and washer.

Water Bowser FAQs
What is a Water Bowser?
A Water Bowser is a water tank designed to be towed or affixed to a vehicle bed or body. Predominately for the transportation of water, as well as a wide range of other liquids. A Water Bowser is often referred to as a Water Trailer or Water Tank on Trailer.
What Can A Water Bowser Be Used For?
A Water Bowser is ideal for any application in which water is not available from a mains supply. Particularly common on farms, as well as construction and building sites, a trailed bowser offers the ability to tow water where it is required.
