1000L FirePatrol15 Dual Axle Firefighting Trailer
The 1000L FirePatrol15 Dual Axle gives you the same 1000 litre capacity as the single axle model, but spread across two axles with roller rocker suspension, for a smoother and more stable tow across uneven ground. It's available in two configurations: On Farm for use within your own property, or Road Registerable with lights and override brakes fitted for towing on public roads.
Features, Benefits & Outcomes
- Dual axle, roller rocker suspension spreads the trailer's weight evenly, which smooths out the tow over rough paddocks and farm tracks.
- 1000 litres of water is ready to go the moment a fire starts, backed by the GX200 Honda motor and twin impeller Davey pump.
- A 36 metre hose reel with adjustable nozzle lets you work a fire line from one position instead of constantly repositioning the trailer.
- Landcruiser hub pattern wheels mean parts and tyres are easy to source and match to vehicles many rural properties already run.
- The Safety Ball Baffle system stops the water surging inside the tank, keeping the trailer controlled even over bumpy ground.

1000L FirePatrol15 Dual Axle Firefighting Trailer FAQ
What's the difference between the On Farm and Road Registerable options?
The Road Registerable option adds lights & electric override brakes, so you can legally tow it on public roads as well as on your own property. The On Farm option is for use within your own property boundaries only, and is priced accordingly. Select your preferred configuration above.
Why would I choose dual axle over single axle at the same 1000L capacity?
Dual axle with roller rocker suspension gives a smoother, more stable tow, particularly over rough or uneven ground, since the load is spread across two axles instead of one. It's a preference some buyers have even at the same water capacity.
Is this trailer harder to maneuver than a single axle model?
Dual axle trailers are longer overall, so they do need a bit more room to turn, but the roller rocker suspension and tracking is generally considered easier to reverse and control than a single axle trailer of the same capacity.
How do I refill the tank once it's empty?
The trailer comes with a bottom fill kit and camlock fittings, so you can refill quickly from a dam, rainwater tank or hydrant.
