Septic container 20 ft
The septic container collects wastewater from toilet, shower and laundry containers on a site with no sewer. The tank is built into a half-height 20 ft ISO frame, so it is lifted, moved and stacked like any other container. Sanitary containers pump into it through a hose. A vacuum tanker empties it through the valve at the end.

Request an offerBuilt like a container
A welded S355 steel frame with ISO corner castings at all eight corners, corrugated steel side walls and forklift pockets in the bottom rails. The footprint is a standard 20 ft, 6,058 × 2,438 mm. The module is 1,219 mm high, so two of them stack to the height of one standard container and travel on one trailer.
Inside
The tank body measures 4,000 × 2,000 × 800 mm. Inlet connections and a manhole sit on top of the tank, under removable roof plates. A sight glass shows the level. At one end a service cabinet with doors holds the outlet ball valve, so emptying is done from the ground without opening the roof.
On site
Set it on level ground next to the sanitary containers. Connect their pump outlets to the inlets on top. When the sight glass shows it is full, a vacuum tanker or our hook-lift fecal cistern connects to the valve in the cabinet and empties it.
