Makoro 5000L New Slim Chemical Vertical Water Tank

The Makoro 5000L Slim Vertical Heavy Duty Water Tank is engineered for applications where high-capacity water storage is required but installation space is limited. Combining a taller profile with a narrower footprint, this heavy-duty slimline tank maximises storage efficiency while remaining easy to position alongside buildings, boundary walls, and in restricted spaces. With a true storage capacity of 5200 litres, it is ideally suited to demanding residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial water storage applications.

The tank features an overall height of 2350 mm, an effective fill height of 2050 mm, and a diameter of 1820 mm, allowing it to deliver substantial storage capacity while occupying less ground space than conventional larger-diameter tanks. A 420 mm lid provides secure and convenient access for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, while 3 × 40 mm black fittings allow straightforward integration into irrigation systems, water reticulation networks, and general water distribution applications.

Manufactured from durable polyethylene, the Makoro 5000L Slim Vertical Heavy Duty Water Tank features a reinforced wall thickness ranging from 6–12 mm, providing superior strength, durability, and structural integrity for demanding operating conditions. Its heavy-duty construction is specifically engineered to withstand harsh outdoor environments, high usage demands, and long-term exposure to Southern African conditions while maintaining dependable performance year after year.

Supplied as standard in brown, with custom colours available on request, this tank is ideal for rainwater harvesting, livestock watering, agricultural operations, commercial facilities, municipal water storage, and industrial applications where durability and reliability are essential. Its combination of high capacity, reinforced construction, and space-efficient design makes it an excellent solution for installations requiring both performance and practicality.

Every Makoro tank is proudly manufactured in Botswana using innovative technology and sturdy, purpose-driven designs — all backed by a 10-year guarantee. Built from top-end, UV-stabilised polymer, our tanks are engineered to handle harsh Southern African conditions with ease. Tanks intended for drinking water are made from food-grade virgin polymer, ensuring safe, long-lasting storage. Available in a wide variety of colours, Makoro tanks deliver trusted strength, consistent quality, and uncompromising durability.

Our standard tanks are designed to safely store liquids with a specific gravity (SG) of 1 or less — ideal for water and other low-density fluids. For medium- to heavy-duty use involving higher SG liquids such as molasses, brines, or agricultural chemicals, we offer custom-reinforced tank options to suit your needs.
