THE NU-TANK DIFFERENCE
The Nu-Tank story started in 2008, on a bare block of land in Parkhurst, Queensland. On September 30 that year the very first tank came out of the oven and a customer turned up, unannounced, ready to buy it. They were so happy with the product, before having even used it, that they ordered a second one then and there.
In those early days when you asked to speak to the boss, you were directed to a young person who had just finished using a rattle to secure a tank mould in the oven, or jumped out of a delivery truck. Because that’s what Steve did, as well as help build the oven, design the moulds and sell the tanks. His hands on experience and previous industry experience would give Nu-Tank an edge.
We knew how to build tougher tanks and we were going to do it from the start. More resin, no roof supporting poles, computer controlled ovens, walls that got thicker closer to the base and a poly fused and welded outlet.
These tanks were not just made stronger tanks, but made smarter too.
The 6 Point Checklist (a checklist you should use before buying any tank)
#1 Australian Made using proven Materials
Nu-Tank only uses proven food grade materials, BPA free and heavy metal free in the cooking of our tanks, troughs and feeders. UV stabilised, these materials have been proven over time to withstand Australia’s harshest conditions.
Nu-Tank will never be tempted to use unproven, materials to make a cheaper product.
Not only are we Australian made, but we are 100% Aussie owned and operated.
#2 Ribbed Side Walls
Imagine if your body didn't have ribs. Ribs protecting your vital organs. Ribs providing strength and structure to your body. It is similar with a tank, ribs ensure the integrity of the tank is sustained.
Strength and structure, all contributing to the reliability, you can be confident of getting from Nu-Tank.
#3 Poly Fused and Welded Outlets
The outlet is typically placed towards the bottom of the tank, where, as the tanks fills, the greatest pressure is exerted. Brass fittings for the outlet pipe/valve have proven to be the major contributor to a problem commonly known as fitting split. Continual pressure on the foreign material drilled into the tank can cause a small split to occur, above or below the brass fitting, spreading as the fluid escapes. To eliminate fitting split Nu-Tank poly fuse the poly outlet to the entire thickness of the wall of our larger tanks, then weld around the outlet.
#4 Self Supporting Roof
Whereas the greatest internal pressure on a tank is towards the base, the least is at the top, the roof. Tempting some manufacturers to make their tanks with flimsy roofs that need internal support to hold them up, to save on material costs, by using less. Nu-Tanks tank roofs are self-supporting. They do not need, nor have, any internal poles/support to hold them up. The benefit of this is that there is no pole putting continual pressure on a flimsy roof, should a tree branch fall on the roof, there is less likelihood of the roof of the Nu-Tank breaking.
#5 Cooked in Computerised Ovens
To make a tank the raw materials are heated, whilst also being rotated, to form the desired shape and size, then allowed to cool. You would expect this to be done only in controlled conditions to get the best, most consistent results. Not so, Nu-Tank is one of only a few tank manufacturers in Australia that make all our tanks in computerised ovens.
#6 Thicker Walls at the Base
As a tank is filled, pressure builds within, against the walls, as gravity tries its best to force the stored liquid to spread out, not build upwards. The greatest pressure is towards the base of the tank. The technology Nu-Tank uses in the manufacturing of our tanks allows us to make the walls thicker towards the base. Giving you a tank with thicker walls, where it counts the most. Strength, reliability, are not just words with Nu-Tank, they are at the heart of how your tank is made.
All polyethylene tanks are not the same, because they are not manufactured to be the same.

TANK WARS
We are known for doing some crazy things with our products, from having body builders drop our troughs from heights to dragging our tanks behind cars and even boats.
In 2023 we thought we would have a little fun to coincide with the State of Origin, so for each game we released a new video featuring games between a Maroon Tank and a Blue Tank. The Queensland tank, just like the football players, came out on top, of course.
Is your tank that tough – it is if it’s a Nu-Tank. The proof is in the pudding so to say.
