At Kuuwa Rentals, we specialise in bespoke mine-spec equipment and vehicles, delivering tailored solutions to meet the unique challenges of the mining and resource sector. Our recent project, the creation of a custom Light Tanker Truck, showcases our expertise in solving complex problems and providing vehicles designed to excel in demanding environments.

The Challenge

A client approached us with a specific requirement: they needed a light truck capable of transporting both water and diesel across their remote mining site. The truck would act as a support vehicle for a range of plant equipment scattered around the site. Additionally, it had to withstand the harsh conditions of a mining environment while ensuring reliability and efficiency. Our initial solution—equipping a light truck with skid-mounted tanks, pumps, and reels—proved the concept but revealed issues with the truck chassis, which was not durable enough for the rigours of mining operations. Frequent breakdowns and maintenance challenges made it clear that the vehicle needed significant upgrades to meet the client’s needs.

The Solution

To ensure the vehicle was truly fit-for-purpose, we upgraded to the Isuzu NPS 4×4 light truck chassis, a trusted and proven performer on mine sites. This vehicle is well-known for its durability, reliability, and ability to handle the demands of the mining industry. Next, we partnered with our fabrication workshop to design and build a custom tray with an enclosed canopy. This not only protected the tanks and equipment but also increased the vehicle’s versatility and durability. To further enhance performance, we upgraded the pumps and reels to ensure smooth and reliable operation under demanding conditions.

The Result

The final product is a multi-purpose Light Tanker Truck specifically designed for mine site operations. This vehicle can transport both water and diesel efficiently, meeting the client’s operational needs while reducing downtime. The truck was personally delivered to the site, where our team conducted a full handover to familiarise the client with its features and ensure it was ready to get to work immediately.
