The Chem-Tainer 67 gallon rectangular open top tank is a polyethylene container built for straightforward water handling and staging where a rectangular tank footprint fits the workspace better than a round drum. Because it is an open top tank, you get full top access for filling, dipping, cleaning, and manual batching, and the rectangular form lines up flush against walls and inside secondary containment or equipment frames.
Will it work for your job
This is a 67 gallon rectangular open top tank in polyethylene, sized for non-potable water, rinse, and general water storage duty. Plan your stand and footing around a full load: at 67 gallons of water this tank carries roughly 559 lb full, so the supporting surface needs to be flat, level, and continuously rated for that weight. Because it is an open tank with no closed dome, keep it covered or screened when installed outdoors to keep out debris and limit evaporation. Confirm your working dimensions and top opening against the technical drawing on this page before you build the platform or cut an enclosure to fit. For small rural fire-staging or reservoir use, our fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers where a poly tank fits in the private fire-protection stack.
Freight and how it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from the Chem-Tainer plant in West Babylon, New York, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the list price. To see your freight cost before you order, run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it by phone. If you are still deciding between capacities, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume to your actual draw and refill cycle.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with an open top rectangular tank this size is underbuilding the base. An open top tank has no closed dome to distribute load, and a full 559 lb concentrated on a rectangular footprint will find any soft or uneven spot in a hurry. Set it on a continuous, level surface and never support it only at the corners. If you are pouring a pad, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework for getting the foundation right.
