200 Litre Slimline Tank, Upright
Product Overview
The 200 Litre Upright Slimline Water Tank is a compact and practical solution for the storage and transportation of potable water and a wide range of other compatible liquids.
Manufactured from durable MDPE / polyethylene, this slimline tank provides a nominal capacity of 200 litres, equivalent to approximately 44 imperial gallons. Its tall, narrow rectangular design makes it particularly useful where available floor space is restricted and a larger conventional water tank would not be suitable.
The tank incorporates an integrated baffling system, designed to reduce the movement of water inside the tank during transportation. The internal baffles are formed by grooves and openings running through the tank, helping to disrupt the movement of liquid and reduce sloshing.
This makes the tank particularly suitable for mobile applications such as car valeting, vehicle cleaning and window cleaning, where water may need to be transported as part of a mobile cleaning system.
The natural translucent MDPE construction allows the approximate water level to be viewed through the tank wall, providing a convenient way to monitor the remaining contents.
With an empty weight of approximately 23 kg and dimensions of approximately 260 × 1650 × 560 mm, the tank combines a useful 200 litre capacity with a narrow footprint and upright profile.

Slimline Design
The 200 Litre Upright Slimline Water Tank has been designed specifically for applications where available floor space is limited.
With a footprint of approximately 260 × 560 mm and an overall height of approximately 1650 mm, the tank uses vertical space to provide 200 litres of storage without requiring the wider footprint associated with many conventional water tanks.
This makes it particularly useful for:
- Mobile cleaning systems
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Potable water storage
- Agricultural applications
- Horticultural applications
- General-purpose water storage
- Vehicle-based water systems
The slimline configuration can be particularly beneficial when installing a water tank within a restricted area, although sufficient clearance should always be provided for the lid, outlet and any connected equipment.
Integrated Baffle System
The tank incorporates an internal baffling system designed to reduce the movement of water during transportation.
The baffles are formed through the tank using grooves and openings which interrupt the movement of the liquid. This helps reduce the amount of water that can move from side to side when the tank is being transported.
Reducing liquid movement can provide greater stability for mobile water storage applications and makes this tank particularly suitable for businesses transporting water as part of their daily operations.
Typical applications include:
- Car valeting
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Window cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Commercial cleaning
- Vehicle-based water systems
The baffles reduce water movement but do not eliminate it completely. A tank containing a large volume of water can still present significant hazards during transportation and must be correctly installed and securely restrained by a suitably qualified person.
Please also note that the internal baffle design reduces the usable capacity of the tank
Applications
The 200 Litre Upright Slimline Water Tank is particularly well suited to mobile and space-restricted applications.
Typical uses include:
- Car valeting
- Window cleaning
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Commercial cleaning
- Potable water storage
- Agricultural water storage
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation
- Vehicle-based water systems
- Temporary water storage
- General-purpose liquid storage
The combination of a slimline footprint and integrated baffling makes this tank especially practical where water needs to be transported safely as part of a mobile operation.
