Stock Troughs & Tanks
Stock‑water solutions built for Aussie conditions—troughs and tanks installed with care.
Ensuring your livestock or property has reliable water infrastructure is non‑negotiable.
At Taylors Rural Services we specialise in the supply and installation of stock troughs and water tanks designed for rural conditions, from rotational grazing setups to lifestyle blocks and full‑scale farms.
We handle everything from selecting the right product (capacity, material, placement) to preparing the site, leveling pad, installing railings, plumbing, overflow and delivery logistics. Whether you’re setting up a new paddock, upgrading an old trough or installing a rainwater harvesting tank, we tailor the solution to your property layout, access, stock numbers and future growth.
We understand remote access, farm vehicles, stock rotation, cleaning regimes and maintenance needs. That means we don’t just install tanks/troughs—we install with an eye for servicing, cleaning, filling and access for future needs. The result: water infrastructure that works today and keeps working long term.
Contact us to discuss your water infrastructure project: site access, stock numbers, tank/trough capacities, and placement. We’ll support you through product selection, installation scheduling and after‑care.
No online booking—just a call to get started.
