Austates Pest Equipment

Most fit-outs involve three businesses. One fabricates the box, another supplies the tanks and pumps, and a third bolts it all in. When something doesn't line up, everyone points at someone else.

At Austates, it's one team from start to finish. We build the toolboxes, drawers and reels, supply the tanks, pumps and fittings, and install the full setup on your vehicle. If anything needs adjusting, there's one number to call.

This dual-reel rig was ready to work the day it left our yard.

The tank material on your spray unit affects more than you might think.
Chemical compatibility, weight, UV resistance, repairability, long-term cost. The wrong choice for your application means earlier failure, more downtime and money spent fixing a problem that was avoidable from the start.
We've broken down the four main spray tank materials, where each one performs, where each one falls short, and how to work out which is right for your operation.

Stainless steel, fibreglass or polyethylene? Here's a straight breakdown of spray tank materials to help Australian operators make the right call.

A worn seal or a sticky trigger shouldn't park your rig for a week.

We stock spare parts for the spray guns, pumps, reels and fittings that go into the units we build. Because we make the equipment ourselves, we know what fits, what's interchangeable and what you actually need, so you're not guessing from a part number online.

Give us a call with the make and model, or send through a photo, and we'll track it down.

Every unit is welded in-house in Brisbane. The shelving bolts into upright channels, so it sits where your gear needs it rather than where a factory decided it should go. Gas struts hold the lid open while you work, and rubber seals keep dust and rain away from your kit.

You won't see most of that from the kerb. You'll notice it a few hundred jobs in.

Not every operation fits a standard setup. Different vehicle, different application, different workflow. If you've been trying to make an off-the-shelf solution work for a job it wasn't designed for, it might be time to have a proper conversation.

The Austates team has been building and specifying spray equipment for over 30 years. Tell us what you're doing, what's not working and what you need, and we'll help you find or build the right solution.

No guesswork. No generic recommendations. Just practical advice from people who know the equipment inside out.

A well-built spray rig isn't just an operational asset, it's a financial one. Equipment that holds up over years of hard use is worth something when it comes time to upgrade or sell.

Austates spray units are built with quality components and heavy-duty construction specifically because we know operators are investing in their business, not just buying a piece of gear.

Buy once. Buy right.

Handheld, backpack or ute-mounted. The right sprayer isn't the biggest one, it's the one that matches the job in front of you.

Spot treatments and hard-to-reach areas still call for a backpack unit, battery or manual depending on how often you're using it. But once a job allows vehicle access, a ute-mounted system changes the maths entirely: higher application rates, less time on site, more jobs in a day. We've broken down where each type earns its place so you're not carrying more gear than the job needs, or less than it demands.

UV exposure, heat and humidity don't forgive cheap materials. Hoses crack, fittings corrode, tanks fade and seals fail faster than they should when the gear underneath isn't built for Australian conditions.

It's one of the most common reasons operators end up replacing equipment far sooner than they budgeted for.

Austates builds with Australian conditions as the baseline, not an afterthought.

You're already doing the work that makes great content. You're just not filming any of it.

Before and afters, a bait station going in, a five second clip explaining why cockroaches love damp kitchens. None of it needs a camera crew or editing skills, just a phone and thirty seconds before you move to the next job. It builds trust with people who've never met you, and it gives your website something more useful than a wall of text when a nervous homeowner is trying to decide whether to book.

Full breakdown on the blog, including what to film and what to leave out https://austates.com.au/why-you-should-be-taking-more-videos-of-your-pest-control-jobs/

Got a clip worth sharing? Tag us, we'd love to see the work you're doing out there.

Discover how taking videos of your pest control jobs can boost your social media presence, build trust, attract clients, and improve your website.

Tools and chemicals left in an unsecured ute tray overnight are an easy target. A properly built toolbox with lockable whale-tail handles and an additional padlock eyelet means your gear stays where you left it.

Austates aluminium toolboxes are built for security as much as storage. Heavy-gauge construction, rubber door seals and stainless steel hinges, designed to last and built to keep your equipment safe.

Don't leave it to chance.
