FORGE 4-TAP HYDRATION STATION – Portable Water Dispenser

An Industrial Hydration Station for Remote Mining Operations

Ensuring reliable access to clean, cold drinking water is a critical safety requirement on modern mining sites. The FORGE 4-TAP HYDRATION STATION from Forge Water Systems is a purpose-built hydration unit engineered specifically for industrial, remote, and high-demand applications where durability, sanitation, and uptime matter most.

Constructed from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel and designed to operate in harsh outdoor conditions, the FORGE 4-TAP HYDRATION STATION provides a dependable on-site solution for delivering high-volume potable water to crews working in extreme environments. Unlike consumer-grade coolers or improvised refill setups, this unit is built to mining-sector standards: tough, compliant, easy to service, and ready for round-the-clock use.

Engineered for Industrial Performance

The FORGE 4-TAP HYDRATION STATION features a high-capacity internal cooling system designed to maintain consistently cold output even during peak demand. Integrated multi-stage filtration ensures clean water delivery when connected to approved potable-water sources, with optional UV sterilization available for enhanced microbial protection.

Inside, all components are organized for straightforward maintenance. Lockable service panels allow quick access for filter changes, sanitation, and inspection—ideal for large sites with strict operational schedules and rotating crews.

Built for Remote, Rugged Conditions

Mining operations demand equipment that can withstand abuse. The FORGE 4-TAP HYDRATION STATION’s welded frame and industrial casters allow operators to easily relocate the unit across worksites, laydown yards, mobile offices, and camp setups. Corrosion-resistant construction ensures long service life in dusty, wet, or high-temperature environments.

Each unit is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure: potable storage tanks, on-site water trucks, auxiliary pumps, or fixed camp water lines. For remote sites with periodic service schedules, the station provides the reliability needed to keep crews hydrated safely and consistently.

Supporting Worker Health & Safety

Dehydration is a proven risk factor in the mining sector, leading to fatigue, reduced cognitive function, and heat-related incidents. With expanding workplace safety standards and environmental expectations, providing a structured hydration solution is no longer optional.

The FORGE 4-TAP HYDRATION STATION helps mining companies:

  • Improve worker safety and wellbeing
  • Reduce single-use plastic bottle waste
  • Standardize hydration access across shifts and camps
  • Meet internal and third-party HSE compliance expectations

Ideal Applications

Open-pit and underground mining operations

Exploration drilling camps

Construction & industrial worksites

Wildfire and emergency response bases

Remote infrastructure, pipeline, and utility projects

Wherever crews operate in demanding environments, the FORGE 4-TAP HYDRATION STATION delivers a professional, reliable water solution designed to perform.
