This product is a robust and reliable storage solution specifically designed for the safe containment of liquids in industrial and workshop environments. The 1500-liter capacity, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tank is complemented by an included secondary containment tank (bund tank) made of galvanized steel sheet, ensuring compliance with strict environmental and safety regulations.
The unit with article number VS9132 is an ideal choice for storing critical fluids such as additives, waste oils, and fresh lubricants.
This storage system combines durability, safety, and ease of handling:
Excellent Material Quality: The main tank is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which ensures excellent chemical resistance to the stored materials, minimizing the risk of corrosion.
Secondary Containment: The containment tank, made of galvanized steel sheet, is essential for preventing leaks and accidents. This system ensures that spilled liquid does not enter the environment, complying with strict regulations.
Easy Access and Inspection: The tank is white, which facilitates visual inspection of the contents. It is equipped with an inspection opening (inspection cap) and four 2-inch (2″) connection spouts for flexible connection.
Ready State: The product is immediately ready for use as the tank and containment tank form a single unit.
This storage system can be used versatilely in various industrial and maintenance areas, especially where safe, fixed storage of liquids is required.
Compatible Operating Fluids (OPERATING FLUIDS):
The tank is ideally suited for storing the following materials:
Antifreeze: Ideal for storing large quantities of antifreeze fluids in service centers.
Spent oil (Waste oil): A safe solution for collecting and temporarily storing used, contaminated oils.
New Oil: For maintaining inventory levels of lubricants, hydraulic oils, and other fresh oils.
Although the given specifications primarily relate to oils and antifreeze, due to the general chemical resistance of HDPE material, it may also be suitable for storing other non-aggressive liquids (e.g., water, certain cleaning agents), but exact compatibility must always be checked with Gartec specialists.
The precise dimensions and weight of the product ensure appropriate site planning and safe installation.

The material combination used by Gartec is of strategic importance:
HDPE (Polyethylene): Polyethylene offers excellent impact resistance and is extremely resistant to most acids, bases, and hydrocarbons. This ensures the long-term integrity of the stored liquid without causing damage to the tank itself. Furthermore, the white color reduces pressure fluctuations caused by temperature variations and prevents material degradation from UV radiation (although indoor or covered storage is recommended).
Galvanized Steel Containment Tank: Galvanization (zinc coating) protects the steel from corrosion, which can be especially important in wet or steamy environments, or if the stored liquids might come into contact with the external structure in the form of vapor. This double-walled system ensures strict compliance with local and international environmental regulations (e.g., regulations concerning the storage of hazardous materials).
The 1500-liter capacity represents a significant volume of fluid, so the following must be considered during installation:
Base: The weight of the entire filled system significantly exceeds the empty weight of 155 kg. A suitable, dense, load-bearing base is required, capable of supporting the maximum load (approx. 1500 kg of liquid + tank weight).
Placement: Based on the packaging dimensions of 1700x760x1220 mm, the actual dimensions of the operational tank are also aligned with this. Ensure that sufficient space is available at the installation site for access to the connections (4 pcs 2″ nipples) and the inspection opening.
Maintenance: Regular visual inspection is recommended for both the main tank and the containment tank for leaks or damage to the polyethylene surface.
This Gartec product is the cornerstone of reliable fluid management infrastructure, offering optimal safety and efficiency in the storage of critical fluids.
