If you have ever wondered what actually goes into a water cannon built for mining, fire suppression and earthmoving, this one is for you.

Simon pulls apart the APEX XD Electric in our latest With the Expert video. It is made from marine-grade aluminium to help protect against corrosion and uses large, fully sealed DC motors. A status LED shows the operator exactly what state the cannon is in, so there is no guessing.

And if a permanently mounted joystick is not an option on your rig, the wireless controller covers you at up to 150 metres with precision control.

If you run water trucks, this is worth three minutes of your time.

Weak pumps fail when you need them most. Low flow. Constant repairs. Costly downtime.

The T-Rex XHD is different: 3,000+ litres per minute, heavy-duty cast iron, low maintenance, flexible mounting, and 100% Australian made.

Stop replacing. Start pumping harder.
