1250 Litre Baffled Flat Water Tank
Product Overview
The 1250 Litre Flat Baffled Water Tank is a heavy-duty solution for the storage and transportation of large volumes of potable water and other compatible liquids.
Manufactured from durable HDPE / polyethylene, this low-profile rectangular tank is designed for applications where a substantial water storage capacity is required while maintaining a relatively low overall height.
The integrated baffle system helps reduce water movement inside the tank during transportation, making it particularly suitable for mobile applications where the tank needs to be transported with water inside.
With a 1250 litre nominal capacity and a substantial empty weight, this tank is well suited to commercial, agricultural, industrial and mobile water storage applications where high-volume water storage is required.

Low-Profile & High-Capacity Design
With its flat rectangular configuration, the 1250 Litre Baffled Water Tank is designed to provide a substantial water storage capacity while keeping the overall profile lower than many conventional upright tanks.
The low-profile design can be particularly useful for vehicle and trailer installations, commercial equipment and other applications where available vertical space is restricted.
The large footprint provides a practical base for suitable installations, but the tank must always be installed on an adequately strong, stable and level supporting surface.
Integrated Baffle System
The tank incorporates an internal baffle system designed to reduce the movement of water inside the tank during transportation.
When large volumes of liquid are transported, water movement can create significant surging forces. The internal baffles help disrupt this movement, making the tank more suitable for mobile applications.
This makes the tank particularly useful for:
- Mobile water storage
- Agricultural vehicles
- Commercial cleaning equipment
- Construction applications
- Water supply vehicles
- Vehicle and trailer-mounted systems
- Industrial applications
The baffle system helps reduce liquid movement but does not eliminate it completely. The tank must therefore be securely mounted and restrained whenever it is used in a mobile application.
Applications
The 1250 Litre Flat Baffled Water Tank is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Potable water storage
- Mobile water supply
- Agricultural applications
- Horticultural applications
- Commercial water storage
- Industrial applications
- Construction and site use
- Vehicle-mounted water systems
- Trailer-mounted water systems
- Mobile cleaning equipment
- Temporary water storage
- General-purpose liquid storage
The tank should only be used with liquids that are compatible with the tank material and selected fittings.

Overseas orders

A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
