LPG Bulk Storage Tank — 2 000 L Above-Ground
SKU MG-LPG-2000 · Held at Johannesburg, Gauteng
A 2 000 litre horizontal above-ground LPG storage vessel built for kitchens, laundries, bakeries and light manufacturing lines that burn more gas than a cylinder bank can comfortably feed. At roughly 3.0 m long and 0.95 m in diameter it holds enough product to run a busy commercial kitchen for weeks between deliveries, which cuts call-out charges and protects you from short-term supply interruptions. The shell is rolled carbon steel with dished ends, hydrostatically tested and coated in high-build white enamel over a zinc-rich primer. Two heavy saddle supports spread the load onto a plinth or pier foundation and carry earthing bosses for the required bonding. The valve group under the top dome includes filler, liquid and vapour service valves, hydrostatic relief, a float contents gauge and a fixed-level bleed. Tare mass is approximately 580 kg, so placement needs a light crane truck or a rated forklift. Delivered empty, purged and certificated, with the vessel data plate and test records in the pack. Filling, regulator sizing, pipe runs and the certificate of compliance are handled by your registered LPG installer.

The shell is fabricated from Corten A weathering steel — a copper, chromium and nickel alloy that forms a tightly adherent oxide layer instead of the flaking scale you get on mild steel. That patina slows further corrosion, which is why a 25-year-old box can still be structurally sound while a painted mild-steel shed of the same age has perforated.
Side and end panels are 14-gauge (2.0mm) corrugated sheet welded to a rigid frame of rolled top and bottom rails with cast steel corner fittings on the ISO 1161 pattern. Roof panels are 2.0mm with an arch profile that shifts standing water toward the eaves. On tank units the pressure barrel is carbon steel, shot-blasted and finished with a solar-reflective topcoat to limit vapour pressure rise in direct sun.
Expect surface oxidation on used grades: it is cosmetic. We reject units with through-plate pitting, cracked welds at the corner posts, or bowed rails, because those defects affect stacking strength and cannot be repaired economically in the field.
