The 20,000L Modular Tank

Every Kilo of SteelIs a Litre You Can't Carry.

Our 20,000L FlexConnex modular poly tank weighs just 1,300 kg. A comparable steel tank can weigh two to three times that — and every extra kilo comes straight off your legal payload. Work out what steel's dead weight is really costing you.

Australian Made 15-Year Tank Warranty Rust-Proof Poly

Empty weight → usable payload

Poly 1,300 kg
Steel ~3,200 kg

On a weight-limited truck, that ~1,900 kg penalty means steel carries ~1,900 litres less water — every single load.

Cost Estimator

Poly vs Steel — the annual difference

Set your operation below. The estimator uses each tank's empty weight to work out lost payload, then converts that into extra trips, extra water, fuel and maintenance across a full year.

Assumptions — edit to match your gear

Poly weight of 1,300 kg is the published spec for the Rapid Spray 20,000L FlexConnex tank. Steel weight, fuel-per-load and upkeep are editable estimates — steel figures cover rust treatment, recoating and repairs that poly doesn't need.

Indicative estimates only, based on legal road payload (1 L water = 1 kg). Total = fuel + maintenance; extra water and loads saved are shown as productivity, not double-counted in dollars. Talk to us for a detailed fleet analysis.

Why the Gap Exists

It's not the sticker price. It's the running cost.

Steel and poly can look close on the invoice. The difference shows up every day you run the tank — in payload, fuel, downtime and the freight bill to get it to site.

01 / PAYLOAD

Lighter Tank, More Water

At 1,300 kg empty, the poly modular frees up payload steel eats with its own weight. On a weight-limited chassis, that's more legal litres on every trip.

02 / MAINTENANCE

No Rust, No Recoating

UV-stabilised poly is rust-proof and impact-resistant. Steel needs rust treatment, recoating and weld repairs — recurring cost and downtime poly simply skips.

03 / FREIGHT

Modular Ships Smart

The FlexConnex system moves in modules, not one welded steel monster. Easier to freight, easier to place, and you can add capacity later with a "plus-one" module.

04 / LIFESPAN

Backed 15–25 Years

A 15-year full tank warranty plus pro-rata cover — Australian made and engineered for harsh conditions, so the payload advantage compounds year after year.

Estimator figures are indicative and based on legal road payload limits (1 L water ≈ 1 kg). Poly tank weight reflects the published 20,000L FlexConnex spec; steel weight, fuel and maintenance are editable estimates. Actual results vary by chassis, route and duty cycle.
