SubscriberHi all... Sooooo, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place... As some of you know, I have recently finished/moved into a new house.. The original plan was to site two 22500lt Polymaster rainwater tanks in under the rear carport so they're within the fire safe (sprinkler) zone. This was to happen before the roof went on as they're 2500mm + tall. However, as the build has been far from fluid, this was one of the things didn't happen. Luckily, those tanks have been pressed into action else where. So... I now need two 'low profile' 22500lt tanks. The only company I've found who do these is RapidPlas who are based in Tamworth NSW. The low profile tanks they offer are 3840mm wide, and 2220mm tall. They fit the bill and are priced similar to all the other 22500lt tanks on the market.
Here's the problem.. They don't supply South Australia, and want $2500 to get them here... Sooo, I'm contemplating making a lightweight low chassis single axle trailer and collecting them from the edge of their 'free delivery' zone, which I believe to be Hay.. but before I go off on a mad dash making a trailer, and then doing two return runs to Hay (hoping to find somewhere to get them dropped off there short term..), I thought I'd ask the great powers of AULRO...
Any ideas guys and gals?

$2500 is a bargain, grab it. You won't build and rego a trailer, then drive 7,000 km (over 3,000 with an accredited pilot) for less.

Your load can be 2500 wide and 5300 high. Is your truck bed under 1450 high? That and a car trailer with a wooden frame and you'd be OK.

Subscriber5.3? Wish I'd known that when I was pulling 4.6 trailers and arguing with the RMS. Although, to be fair, most of the arguments were about cubic weight, whatever that is. However, I do believe that a permit would be required to go above 4.6, at least in NSW. SA beats to it's own drum of course.Originally Posted by bee utey

SubscriberWhat he said. Well, not quite. Had no issues with 4.6, unless I was in Sydney, of course.

What about digging the taller tanks into the ground to get them under the roof line.

I won't argue with that, over 5.3 is what sets off the SE freeway height alarms.
Sitec,
Is diameter a limit in your install or just height?
