Description
The TTi AquaTrans & AquaMove is designed to carry water and benign fluids safely and effectively. The
AquaTrans & AquaMove has the following features, refer to Figure 1.
Figure 1 – Component Identification
Tank
All TTi tanks are constructed from UV stabilised, chemical resistant, virgin material polyethylene. Due
to the rotational moulding process, there may be a small variance in the overall dimensions of the tank,
therefore, calibration markings should be used as a guide only.
The extra thick tank wall structure provides a load capacity of up to 1.3 Specific Gravity. Top mount steel
pump plate built-in mounting points are available on the smaller tank sizes. A specific design feature is our
tank feet, enabling easy and quick mounting to any tray surface.
The AquaTrans & AquaMove comes in our standard opaque Safety Green, with a range of translucent and
opaque colours available as an option.
LiquidLocker Safety Baffle System
The LiquidLocker baffle system within the tank demonstrates measurable improvements in braking
performance and dynamic stability and controllability. LiquidLocker baffles are recommended for tanks
from 600 litres and above. The system has been independently tested, with the report available upon
request.
Tank Level Indicator
An optional level sight tube is fitted to the rear of the tank and provides an accurate level indication of
water within the tank. It is available for fitting to 200 litre tanks and above.
Steel Frames
The 220 and 400 litre AquaTrans tanks are available with optional skid frames, fully welded steel and hot-
dip galvanised for long-lasting protection.
AquaTrans & AquaMove tanks of 2,000 to 17,000 litres are available with optional fully welded steel
mounting frames, hot-dip galvanised for long-lasting protection. The frames incorporate forklift pockets
and are available with incorporated pump and hose reel mounting plates incorporated into the frame.

Machine Limitations
The AquaTrans & AquaMove tanks are subject to operating limitations. It is the operators’ responsibility to
ensure that this equipment is being operated safely and within these limitations.
Driving Stability
The AquaTrans & AquaMove tanks are heavy when filled with fluid. To maintain stability while operating this
unit:
• Ensure the vehicle tyres are inflated to their correct pressure at all times. Underinflated tyres can
cause excessive lateral motion of the tyre, which may cause a rollover.
• Allow extra room for braking and turning when the tank is full.
• Ensure any side gradient (slope) is accounted for, especially when the AquaTrans & AquaMove tank
is full, as the unit will have a higher centre of gravity.
Operating Instructions
Before First Use
Your AquaTrans & AquaMove tank is delivered fully assembled. Before use, it needs to be set up using the
following instructions:
• Complete the warranty registration online at www.tti.com.au/warranty-registration, or use the
Warranty Registration Card at the back of this handbook.
• Store this handbook, along with the Tank Quality Check Form and pump unit’s manual in the provided
leather pouch, in a safe and easily accessible place for future reference.
WARNING: The operator must fully understand all aspects of this handbook. Do not
use the AquaTrans & AquaMove tank until you have read this handbook.
• Read and thoroughly understand this handbook, paying particular attention to all safety requirements,
before using the AquaTrans & AquaMove for the first time.
• Check that all fittings are secure following transit and are not damaged in any way.
• Inspect the tank for any damage or abrasions.
• Mount the AquaTrans & AquaMove tank onto the vehicle, ensuring it is fully supported on a flat surface.

AquaTrans & AquaMove Operation
The AquaTrans & AquaMove is supplied with an MBSP fitting at the base of the tank to connect to your
discharge system. When so connected, the control of flow may be regulated by the discharge system.
For the larger tanks (2,000 litres and above) fitted with a 2” MBSP fitting, the tank’s filling lid must be
loosened and opened to provide adequate venting when discharging the tank’s fluid.
Maintenance
Your AquaTrans & AquaMove requires minimal maintenance but regular cleaning and checks will ensure
safe and reliable service over its lifetime. Periodic checks and inspections will identify any potential issues,
enabling timely rectification and minimising downtime.
