These depend on your order, your market or the certificate that covers your run, so we quote them rather than publish one figure that would be wrong for most buyers. Ask and you get the number for your specification.
Before you order: Confirm intended contents and stainless grade at quotation. This line is specified for fuel and general fluids; potable water is served by the AISI 304 food-grade line.
Dimensions, material thickness, carton and container figures come from the current production specification. Empty weights are derived from the quoted net carton weight. Confirm against the drawing issued with your order.
A painted or galvanised can is only as good as its finish. Bare stainless has nothing to chip off in the first place.
Mounts in the same carriers and holders as the painted steel line, so it is a straight upgrade rather than a different product.
The 20L can be supplied with a tap, which turns it into a dispensing can for a bench or tailgate.
Bare stainless photographs well and carries a higher retail price than the painted equivalent.
The same breakdown our distributors put in front of their own buyers.
The body is pressed and welded in AISI 304 stainless steel, a food-contact grade chosen so the metal itself is the barrier and there is no lining to fail. Production runs across our Vietnam and China plants under one specification managed from Singapore.
UN 3A1 certification is earned through a defined test regimen, and the can is built and verified to it:
Certificate, test report and stamped UN marking are available for the exact design you order.
The regimes that apply to this type of container in each market we ship to, with the detail behind each one a click away. This is what the market asks for; what this particular design already holds is in the specification above.
Orientation for specification, not legal advice, and not a statement that this design holds a given approval. Requirements turn on the exact design, contents and destination, and they change. Tell us the market at enquiry and we confirm what applies to your specification, what we hold and what we would need to obtain.
No paint to chip and no rust to chase. It holds the standard NATO upright geometry in bare 0.8 mm stainless, which reads as premium on a shelf and shrugs off knocks.
It is specified for fuel and general fluids. It is not the food-grade water can, so potable water goes in our AISI 304 stainless water line instead.
Not this line. It is specified for fuel and general fluids and it is not certified for food contact. For potable water and food-grade paperwork, choose the AISI 304 stainless water can.
Stainless resists more than coated steel, but we do not rate this line for aggressive acids. Send us the exact chemical and we will tell you whether stainless or our HDPE range fits.
10 and 20 litre in 0.8 mm stainless steel. The 10 litre measures 35.2 by 18 by 29 cm and the 20 litre 35.2 by 18 by 47.5 cm.
Yes. The tap option is available on the 20 litre, which turns it into a stable bench dispensing point. Confirm the tap seal against your fluid at quotation.
The design is UN approved. Steel fuel cans of this type are certified to UN 3A1 by design and plant, so ask us for the certificate, test report and stamped marking for the exact size you order.
Bare stainless has no coating to fail, so it reuses well and cleans easily, and stainless is recyclable at end of life.
Yes. We laser etch or emboss directly into the stainless, and we can powder coat to a specified RAL colour if you want the body finished. Private label is available.
It keeps the standard NATO geometry, so it seats in the usual holders and racks. It packs four to a carton, is made in Vietnam and China managed from Singapore, and MOQ and lead time come on quotation.
Classic NATO-pattern pressed steel fuel can, vented screw cap, internally coated for hydrocarbons. UN-marked for dangerous goods transport.
NATO-pattern pressed steel can finished and marked for water, in the blue convention the field already reads as potable.
Half-size NATO-pattern steel can for lighter loads, smaller vehicles and buyers who want the pattern without 20 kilograms of fill.
NATO-pattern aluminium can supplied with a pouring spout. Meaningfully lighter than pressed steel where payload is accounted for.
Oversized NATO-pattern cans in 25 and 30 litre, galvanised or stainless. Same footprint as the 20L, meaningfully more range per stop.
