Our range of baffled water tanks is designed for safe, stable and efficient water transportation, making them ideal for vehicles, trailers and mobile water systems. Featuring internal baffles that reduce water movement during transit, these tanks help improve vehicle handling, reduce load surge and increase overall safety.
Whether you’re transporting water for agricultural use, construction sites, landscaping or commercial operations, baffled water tanks provide a practical, reliable solution where standard water tanks are not suitable.
Baffled water tanks are specially designed tanks that include internal partitions, known as baffles. These baffles slow the movement of water inside the tank, significantly reducing surge when the tank is in motion.
They are commonly fitted to:
Window Cleaners vans
Pickup trucks
Flatbed vehicles
Trailers
Agricultural machinery
Mobile water bowsers
By controlling water movement, baffled tanks help protect vehicles, drivers and equipment during transport.
Using a baffled tank offers clear advantages when water needs to be moved regularly.
Reduced water surge – Internal baffles limit sudden shifts during braking, acceleration and cornering.
Improved vehicle stability – Helps maintain balance and control when transporting water.
Enhanced safety – Minimises the risk of load movement compared to non-baffled tanks.
Durable construction – Manufactured from robust, impact-resistant materials.
Versatile applications – Suitable for both potable and non-potable water, depending on the model.
