JoJo 500Lt Horizontal Tank

The JoJo 500L Horizontal Tank is specifically engineered for applications where a low center of gravity or a reduced height profile is required. Its unique "transporter" design makes it the primary choice for mounting onto bakkies, trailers, or under low-slung structures. Built with JoJo’s signature heavy-duty polyethylene, this tank is designed to handle the dynamic sloshing of liquids during transport.

Key Performance Features

• Low Center of Gravity: The horizontal orientation provides maximum stability when mounted on vehicles, reducing the risk of tipping during cornering or off-road use.
• Integrated Mounting Feet: Molded directly into the tank body, these robust feet allow for secure bolting to a flatbed or trailer chassis.
• UV-Stabilized & Food Grade: Manufactured with a black inner lining to prevent algae growth, ensuring stored water remains fresh and safe.
• High-Impact Resistance: Engineered to withstand the rigors of being transported over rough terrain and agricultural farm roads.

Ideal Applications

• Mobile Water Bowser: Perfect for mounting on a 1-ton bakkie or a small utility trailer for transporting water to remote sites or livestock troughs.
• Fire-Fighting Units: Often used as the primary reservoir for small-scale "skid-unit" fire sprayers on farms.
• Height-Restricted Storage: Ideal for installation under decks, inside low-roofed outbuildings, or in crawl spaces where vertical tanks cannot fit.
• Chemical & Fertilizer Transport: Suitable for liquid fertilizers and non-corrosive chemicals (verify specific chemical compatibility with JoJo’s chemical-grade range).

Product Benefits

• Seamless Construction: Rotationally molded as a single unit to eliminate joints and seams, ensuring a leak-proof service life.
• Versatile Outlets: Typically supplied with a 50/40mm reducer and a high-quality 20mm tap for immediate use.
• BPA-Free Material: Safe for all domestic and agricultural water storage needs.

Pro Tip: When used for transport, ensure the tank is properly baffled or kept full to minimize "sloshing," which can affect vehicle handling. Always use high-quality galvanized or stainless steel straps when securing the tank to a vehicle to prevent movement over time.
