Australia’s dry conditions and demanding operational cycles mean water cart performance plays a vital role in keeping dust under control. Effective dust suppression relies on pumps that deliver consistent flow, dependable pressure and minimal downtime, especially during the Australian peak summer conditions.
Stalker pumps are built to meet these demands. Whether fitted to a new water cart, used as a direct replacement on existing equipment, or urgently required by hire companies for an unexpected breakdown, Stalker’s durability and readily available stock make them a trusted choice. With Australian-made construction and fast change-out capability, operators can quickly restore water cart availability and keep dust suppression activities running effectively across mining, civil and hire fleets.
Why Reliable Pump Performance Matters
Dust is one of the most common challenges on active worksites. It impacts visibility, operational safety, equipment wear and regulatory compliance — particularly on haul roads, civil construction sites and high-traffic work areas.
A reliable pump ensures a water cart can maintain the spray patterns and flow rates needed to keep dust under control. When pumps underperform or fail, dust suppression becomes inconsistent, increasing safety risks and slowing productivity across site operations. Stalker pumps are engineered to deliver dependable, steady performance, helping operators keep dust levels down and meet the demands of busy, fast-moving worksites
