The Chem-Tainer 75 Gallon Rectangular Open Top Tank is a straightforward open top tank for water and general non-pressurized holding. Because the top is open, it drops into batch mixing, wash-down, parts soaking, and rinse stations where you fill, dip, or scoop from above rather than plumb a closed lid. This is a rectangular open top tank molded from polyethylene, so it sits flat against a wall or tucks into a corner more efficiently than a round tank of the same volume.
Will it work for your job?
Rated at 75 gallons, this rectangular tank holds about 626 pounds of water at capacity. That figure is the water column alone, so size your stand, platform, or pad for the ~626 lb of water plus the tank's own dry weight, and support the full footprint of the base rather than a few contact points. With an open top there is no sealed lid to pressurize, which keeps hand-filling and manual dipping simple but means it is not intended for pressurized or fully sealed service. Confirm your working level leaves enough freeboard that movement or agitation does not slosh over the rim. To match capacity to your real daily draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or walk through the Tank Sizing Guide before you lock in a footprint.
Freight: how it ships
This open tank ships by LTL freight from West Babylon, New York, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than folded into the list price. Your cost depends on distance, accessorials like liftgate or residential delivery, and your dock situation. Pull a real number for your address with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it directly.
One thing to get right
The most common mistake with a rectangular open top tank is treating it like a structural container that can take side load. Flat walls carry hydrostatic pressure very differently than a round tank's curved wall, so this tank is designed to be supported on all four sides at the base and never bumped, strapped tight, or used as a step. Keep it on a flat, fully supported surface, avoid point loads against the walls, and it will give you long, uncomplicated service. If you are pouring a base for it, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers how to size and level the slab under a loaded tank.
