Water storage isn’t optional in Marlborough. Whether you’re on a vineyard, a lifestyle block, or a back-country run, a decent tank setup is what keeps the place ticking through dry spells, peak irrigation demand, and those “we need water today” moments.
The hard part is usually getting the tank there, especially when the driveway’s tight, the turning circle’s tighter, and the standard truck just isn’t happening.
That’s exactly why WaterForce Blenheim has doubled down on tank delivery across the region.
Can WaterForce Blenheim deliver large water tanks to tight access rural sites?
Yes. WaterForce Blenheim delivers large water tanks across Marlborough, Tasman and the wider Top of the South, including properties with tight turning space where standard truck delivery can’t safely get in. With a purpose-built low bed trailer and a local team that can supply tanks, fittings, pumps and full water system design, we make tank installs a whole lot simpler.
Where we deliver: Kaikōura to Farewell Spit, and plenty in between
Our Blenheim team covers a big patch of country:
- Kaikōura through Marlborough
- Marlborough Sounds (yes, those awkward access jobs)
- Through to Murchison
- Up to Farewell Spit / Golden Bay
- And the rural bits in between where directions still include “turn left at the old woolshed”
This region is famous for beautiful views and vineyards. It’s also famous for driveways that weren’t designed for a big transport truck. That’s where our setup helps.
Built for tricky access: purpose-built low bed tank trailer
If you’ve ever watched a big tank delivery try to reverse into a narrow entrance (with trees, fences, and a septic lid right where you don’t want it), you’ll know why delivery equipment matters.
WaterForce Blenheim’s purpose-built low bed trailer is designed to:
- get large tanks to site safely
- handle tight access and limited turning space
- reduce the risk of tank damage during transport and positioning
- make placement more controlled, especially on rural properties where the “pad” is often still getting finished
It’s the difference between “we can probably make it work” and “yep, we can do that”.

Quick sizing guide (practical, not perfect)
Here’s a rough way customers often think about it:
Tank sizeCommon fit-for-purpose uses 25,000L: Lifestyle blocks, smaller household rainwater catchments, backup water for stock or garden
30,000L: Bigger roofs/catchments, multiple dwellings, higher demand (viticulture, horticulture, stock systems)
If you’re unsure, we’ll help you size it properly based on roof area, demand, and whether you’re planning to expand.
It’s not just the tank: we’ve got the parts and the people to finish the job
One of the most common frustrations we see is someone buying a tank, then realising they still need:
- outlets, valves, fittings, and overflow parts
- pump selection (and the right suction/discharge setup)
- filtration or treatment (especially for household supply)
- level monitoring
- a plan that actually suits the site
Our Blenheim branch carries a full range of parts in-store to go with the tank, plus a team that can design the rest of the system around it, including:
- pumping options (surface, submersible, transfer, pressure systems)
- water treatment and filtration (when the tank is feeding household or compliance-critical supply)
- rainwater harvesting setups (roof catchment, first flush, screens, storage planning)
- stockwater solutions (reticulation, trough supply, solar where it makes sense)
- viticulture and horticulture water systems (storage, pumping, distribution)
Basically: you can start with a tank, or you can walk out with a full plan.
What to have ready before you book delivery (saves a heap of back-and-forth)
If you ring us with these details, we can move faster:
- Site address and best access route
- Any known tight spots (gates, bridges, steep pinches, soft shoulders)
- Where you want the tank placed (even a pin on a map helps)
- Whether you’re connecting to:
- roof rainwater
- bore/spring supply
- carted water
- Whether it’s feeding house only, stock only, or both
- If you need pumping, filtration, or UV
If the site access is genuinely tight, a quick chat early can prevent a messy day on delivery.
