Compact & Practical Upright Design
With dimensions of approximately 550 × 550 × 500 mm, this upright tank provides a useful 140 litre water capacity while maintaining a relatively compact footprint.
The square, upright design makes efficient use of available floor space and allows the tank to be incorporated into a variety of installations where a larger or wider tank may not be suitable.
At approximately 10 kg when empty, the tank is also relatively easy to handle and position before filling.
Visible Water Level
The natural version of the tank features a semi-translucent finish, allowing the level of water inside the tank to be viewed from the outside.
This provides a convenient way to monitor remaining water without needing to open the tank, which can be particularly useful for mobile water systems and equipment where keeping track of available water is important.
Coloured tank options are also available for applications where a specific appearance or colour is preferred.

Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international 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.
