Bushmans Product Range

Poly tanks are one of the most widely used water tanks in circulation around the world. Poly tanks are so popular due to the ease of installation, the ease of picking different tank looks and maneuverability of the tank. Poly tanks are delivered in one piece and can be moved to wherever they need to be. This differs from steel tanks which are constructed at a site and can’t be moved. Poly tanks also are the most economical tank solutions.

Bushmans poly tanks are manufactured using Bushmans very own SUNSMART® polyethylene material that is designed to last longer in the harsh Australian climate. Poly tanks are rotationally moulded in build meaning they are manufactured in one piece, drastically reducing the chance of tank failure. Years of research and development have gone into Bushmans tanks to produce a product that is robust in design and build, but also look great.

Bushmans poly tank come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your spacial and aesthetic requirements. Bushmans poly tanks range start at 1000L and goes all the way up to 46,400L. We also have custom tank solutions on offer.

Bushmans tanks are available in a multitude of COLORBOND® colours to suit whatever aesthetic requirements you may have. You can view the colours here!

Poly tanks are delivered in two different manners.

ONSITE DELIVERY – onsite delivery occurs when the tank site has been prepared correctly following the guidelines set out by Bushmans. If the conditions are safely met, the driver can install your tank on the site. Bushmans has provided tutorial videos on how to prepare your tank base, how to prepare for your tanks delivery, and final steps before the installation of your new Bushmans tank.

ROLL-OFF DELIVERY – roll-off delivery occurs when the site and base has not been prepared. The tank is dropped off the truck to be installed at a future date. It must be possible to roll the tank off the truck without damage. Care should be taken when moving the tank into position, avoiding sharp and rough surfaces. The area must be clear and free of obstacles.

There is some preparation work that needs to be done by you prior to the delivery of the tank. Examples of preparation work that need to be done can be seen below. However, it is of utmost importance that the information about the preparation is read in detail so that you fully know what needs to be done prior to delivery. This cannot be stressed enough. Follow the step-by-step guide found here – it is easy.

• You need to ensure that there is sufficient space for an oversize semi-trailer to be able to turn around.
• Bushmans needs to be advised of any barriers to delivery. There are a number of things that can hinder delivery including overhanging/low to the ground power lines and cables, narrow openings and gates, inaccessible roads, roundabouts, trees with overhanging branches, river and other crossings and more.
• Please note – to be able to deliver, there needs to be a minimum of 50m turning space. The max dimension of the truck is:21m(L) x 2.5m(W) x 5.2m(H)

There are two different options for delivery:
i) Delivery on site

This option refers to when Bushmans driver will assist in siting the tank. Providing prerequisite conditions are adhered to and strictly followed.

ii) Roll-off deliver

This option refers to when the site is not prepared. The tank therefore needs to be installed at a later date. Please note, Bushmans will endeavour delivery again at a later time. This delivery expense must be paid by the customer.

The above is a brief outline – please check all steps and information on delivery and installation here. Please note – how many people need to help out at the time of installation of your Bushmans slimline rainwater tank depends on the size of the tank – you can find this information in the installation guide as described above.

When the steps as outlined here are followed and assistance, organised by you, are on hand, Bushmans’ driver will install your slimline tank. The preparation before delivery is crucial for installation. Bushmans driver will assist in the delivery of the tank. However, you must organise assistance of able bodies to be ready to help at the time of the delivery of the tank. Failure to do so, according to the instructions found here, will result in that the tank will not be installed at the time of delivery.

In the instance that the driver cannot deliver the tank, they will endeavour to do so at a later date. However, note – this will be at the customer’s own expense.

Yes, Bushmans is proud to have the capability to produce both poly and steel tanks. Bushmans range of Aqualine tanks are made from galvanised steel sheets and are constructed on-site. Bushmans will supply installers for this on-site construction which typically takes 1-2 days. Give us a call on 1800 287 462 or fill out a contact form here.

There are a number of key differences between polyethylene and steel water tanks:

• Steel tanks can be made in much larger sizes than poly tanks for when there is a need for bulk liquid storage.
• Bushmans Aqualine steel tanks are constructed on-site by installers using a kit supplied by Bushmans whereas poly tanks are delivered ready-to-use on site.
• Poly tanks are made in 1 rotationally-moulded piece whereas steel tanks have an inner poly liner with a steel exterior.

There are a number of different base preparation methods that you could use for your new Aqualine steel tank. These include:

• Crusher dust base – crusher dust is the most cost-effective base prep method. It must be laid out evenly, compacted, made level and flat to ensure a sound structure of the tank. Care must be taken with this base prep method.
• Concrete base – concrete is a very suitable base for Aqualine steel tanks. It must be large enough to support all areas of the tank. Concrete base must be flat, smooth and evenly leveled. Appropriate curing time of slab is to be observed before tank is installed.
• Stand base – stands can be used to site Aqualine steel tanks. It is important for the stand to be constructed to support the tank’s weight as well as the liquid that will be stored in the tank.
• Concrete paver base – care must be taken with this base preparation method to ensure level does not degrade over time. Ensure the surface that concrete pavers are laid down on will not degrade.

Note – base preparation method will depend on tank size, your requirements, level of access. The Bushmans team will be able to run you through the most ideal base preparation method to suit your specific site.

Aqualine steel tanks are available in sizes ranging from 20,000L to 360,000L.
