Construction & Testing — Open Plastic Container for Lab & Site Work

The 227L plastic tank is widely used in construction and materials testing for soil saturation, aggregate washing, slurry preparation, and controlled water-based analysis. Acting as a rigid industrial plastic tub, it provides stability and clear access for sampling and measurement. Its strong MDPE construction withstands repeated testing cycles, and optional drainage fittings make emptying quick and efficient.

Manufacturing & Engineering — Industrial Plastic Tub for Parts & Fluids

Perfect for workshops and engineering environments, this 227L plastic tank works as a robust open container for soaking parts, cleaning components, handling oils, coolants, and waste fluids. The open-top format allows easy access during maintenance tasks, while the Heavy-Duty version ensures structural stability when filled to full liquid capacity.

Aquaculture & Fishkeeping — Practical Mid-Size Fish Holding Tub

The 227L tank is a popular choice for koi keepers, aquatic hobbyists, and small-scale aquaculture setups. Its size is ideal for quarantine, treatment baths, and temporary fish holding. The smooth MDPE interior keeps fish safe and is easy to clean, and the Heavy-Duty option offers better rigidity when filled fully for longer-term aquatic use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 227L plastic tank suitable for construction testing?

Yes. This 227L plastic tank is commonly used as an industrial plastic tub for soil testing, aggregate washing, slurry mixing, and controlled water-based analysis in labs and on construction sites.

Should I choose the Standard or Heavy-Duty version?

Choose Standard for solids, fish holding, and partial water fills. Select Heavy-Duty if you need to fill the tank close to the top, as its thicker MDPE walls prevent flexing under full liquid load.

Can this be used as a fish holding or treatment container?

Absolutely. The 227L plastic container is ideal for koi and carp treatments, quarantine setups, and short-term fish holding. Its open design and easy-clean interior make it suitable for aquaculture use.
