1,500L Holding Tank

Snosko’s Holding Tank can be supplied as a plug-and-play multi-role chemical tank system.

Its modular design allows it to be configured as a simple single walled sloped base tank, or as a mobile dual walled unit, capable of safely distributing chemicals. The dual wall ensures the 1,500L Holding Tank meets the dimensional and bund capacity requirements specified by AS3780-2008: The storage and handling of corrosive substances (when not roof loaded with an IBC).
