1000 Litre Water Bowser Trailer
A heavy-duty off-road water bowser designed to provide a dependable mobile water supply for horses, sheep and livestock in paddocks, grazing fields and locations without mains water.
A Practical Water Bowser for Remote Fields
Providing fresh water can be difficult when horses or livestock are kept in fields without a convenient mains supply. Carrying smaller containers is time-consuming, while repeatedly filling fixed troughs can quickly become impractical.
Our 1000 litre water bowser trailer provides a straightforward mobile solution. The IBC tank is mounted securely onto a purpose-built trailer and can be towed around private land behind a suitable ATV, UTV or compact tractor.
A galvanised self-feeding drinking trough allows animals to drink directly from the unit, helping maintain a reliable water supply without repeatedly transferring water into separate containers.
- Ideal for horse paddocks and grazing land
- Suitable for sheep and other livestock
- Useful where no mains water supply is available
- Reduces repeated journeys with small containers
- Easy to reposition as grazing areas change
Water Bowser Features
1000 Litre IBC Tank
The large-capacity tank reduces the number of filling trips required and provides a practical reserve of water for animals in remote fields.
Secure Bolted Mounting
The IBC tank is bolted securely to the trailer frame rather than relying solely on straps to hold it in position.
Self-Feeding Trough
The galvanised drinking trough automatically replenishes as animals drink, helping to maintain a readily available water supply.
Heavy-Duty Jockey Wheel
The jockey wheel helps support and manoeuvre the bowser when it is disconnected from the towing vehicle.
Rear Stabilising Stands
Rear locking stands help keep the water trailer stable when it is parked and being used as a livestock drinking station.
50mm Ball Hitch
Fitted with a standard 50mm ball hitch for towing behind a suitable ATV, UTV or compact tractor on private land.
Who Is This Water Bowser Suitable For?
Horse Owners
Supply fresh drinking water to horses kept in remote paddocks or fields without mains water.
Sheep Keepers
Move a reliable livestock drinking station as sheep rotate between grazing areas.
Farms
Transport water around the farm for grazing livestock and general agricultural use.
Smallholdings
A flexible mobile water solution for livestock, pasture and areas beyond the reach of a fixed water system.
Why Choose a 1000 Litre Water Bowser?
A 1000 litre water bowser offers a useful balance between water capacity and manoeuvrability. It carries considerably more water than small tanks and containers, while still being practical for use around paddocks, farms and grazing land.
The capacity can reduce the number of filling journeys needed during warm weather or when several animals share the same water supply. Actual usage will depend on the number and type of animals, the weather, their diet and the availability of other drinking points.
One litre of water weighs approximately one kilogram. A full 1000 litre tank therefore carries roughly one tonne of water, before allowing for the trailer itself. Always ensure the towing vehicle and ground conditions are suitable.
