Versatile Equipment in Action: The Team at Tupore Enjoy the Benefits of the AquaMaster 6000

When projects change daily, having equipment that adapts can make all the difference. We spoke to James Waerea to discover how he uses the AquaMaster 6000 to give him the flexibility he needs.

James works for Tupore, who are specialists in civil construction and maintenance work including roading, earthworks and general site development. They’ve been operating in Hawke’s Bay for over 50 years and have built a reputation for delivering quality work efficiently.

We asked James to tell us how his team rates the AquaMaster 6000. He started by telling us what originally brought him to use the AquaMaster 6000, and how he uses it now.

“We needed a reliable and flexible water cart setup for dust suppression and compaction on different job sites.

[Now we use it] mainly for dust suppression on haul roads and construction areas, and for assisting with compaction when doing pavement prep and bulk earthworks. It’s also handy for general site watering and wash-downs.”

A focus on the AquaMaster 6000

James reckons that the versatility and ease of use of the AquaMaster 6000 is one of the main appeals for the team at Tupore. When you hire equipment – for short or long term hire – you want to get value for money from it. The AquaMaster 6000 can take on a wide range of tasks so it never needs to sit idle.

“[The AquaMaster 6000 has] been excellent. The spray coverage is wide and consistent, and the flow rate is ideal for both dust control and compaction. It delivers a good even spread of water which helps us get better compaction results.

The controls are simple and well laid out. Starting the pump and setting up the spray system is quick, and the in-cab remote makes it easy to control water flow and spray angles on the move.

It’s reliable, easy to use, and well designed. The build quality and performance have been solid, and it’s proven to be a versatile bit of gear that fits well into our operations.”

Real benefits from smart design features

The AquaMaster 6000 has been designed to save time and money on the job. It’s not just about maximising productivity by making it easier to get it right first time. The AquaMaster 6000 also includes a range of features like above tank forklift slots that make it quick and easy to use the tank wherever you need it.

James talked us through some of the benefits his team has enjoyed when using the AquaMaster 6000.

“We can move [the AquaMaster 6000] between sites or trucks without hassle, which means less downtime and better use of our equipment. It’s practical and efficient for the type of work we do.

[The above tank forklift slots are] very convenient. Because our trucks are often used for multiple purposes, having a skid-mounted unit we can load and unload as needed saves a lot of time. It gives us flexibility to use the same truck for other work when the water cart isn’t needed.

Keeping dust down is critical for visibility, safety, and environmental compliance. The AquaMaster makes that easy with adjustable spray angles and good water coverage, which keeps the dust under control even on dry, windy days.”
