When it comes to water distribution and dust suppression in the heavy equipment sectors, choosing water tanks that offer reliability, safety and quality is non-negotiable.
Global manufacturer Ground Force Equipment has been manufacturing and delivering support products for the mining, construction and heavy equipment industries globally for over 30 years
One example of Ground Force products making an impression in the industry here in Australia is the Ground Force Rigid Water Tank range — built to perform in harsh environments, these tanks deliver durability, efficiency and safety.
A partnership built on performance
In Australia, Ground Force products are distributed exclusively by FMS Group, recognised in the industry for delivering specialised fleet, machinery and site service solutions.
FMS Group Operation Manager of Products David Wood said that Ground Force Equipment had earned a global reputation for innovation and reliability in off-highway truck solutions.
“Its rigid water tanks are engineered for strength, corrosion resistance and performance in demanding mining operations,” he said.
“As the Australian distributor, FMS Group ensures that every Ground Force water tank meets local requirements and arrives ready for site deployment, supported by FMS’ national infrastructure, workshop facilities and engineering and maintenance teams.
“This partnership combines world-class design with Australian standards of workmanship and service, delivering value far beyond the initial purchase.”
Manufacturing excellence and quality assurance
At FMS Group, manufacturing capability is one of its greatest strengths.
The in-house workshops in Henderson, Western Australia, and Brisbane, Queensland, are equipped to handle complete assembly, customisation and fit-out of Ground Force tanks to meet specific site requirements.
“All work is carried out under ISO-certified quality management systems, ensuring consistency, traceability and safety at every step,” Tony said.
“The QA processes exceed industry standards, giving customers confidence that every tank leaving the facility has been tested, verified and built to perform in the toughest conditions.
“From design to delivery, every process — quoting, fabrication, assembly, testing and logistics — is handled with precision, efficiency and professionalism.”
Immediate stock availability
FMS Group maintains strategic stock of Ground Force Rigid Water Tanks to meet client demand and minimise lead times.
“We currently have 777 and 785 chassis tanks in build for stock, available in both Brisbane and Western Australia,” David said.
“This local availability means customers can access proven Ground Force quality without the long wait associated with international shipping or build-to-order timelines.
“Combined with our national footprint and logistics capability, we deliver tanks and support seamlessly from the east coast to the west coast.”

Choosing FMS Group means choosing end-to-end support.
“Our experienced team of engineers, project managers and tradespeople oversee every stage of the process, from initial consultation and quoting through workshop preparation to transport, installation and commissioning on site,” Tony said.
“We also provide ongoing maintenance, inspection and spare parts support through our network of service centres and stocked warehouses across Australia.
“Every Ground Force tank purchased through FMS Group is backed by nearly 500 in field personnel and support vehicles offering local expertise, immediate parts availability and responsive technical support, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum operational efficiency.”
Workmanship and care
David said that what sets FMS Group apart is not just its capability, but its culture.
“Every member of our team takes pride in the quality of their work and the performance of the equipment we deliver,” he said.
“Our high standards of workmanship are reflected in every weld, every component and every test we perform.
“Clients know they can rely on FMS Group for precision, reliability and safety, backed by a company that understands mining operations from the ground up.”
