ZERO structural failures

“After 25 years using Australian Pioneer Tanks we continue to choose them for consistent durable quality, innovative design, adaptability to different environments and tidy finish.”

Engineered Up To 2.0mm Thick

Pioneer Water Tanks have been specifically designed by our engineers to put the steel in our tanks where it is needed most.

Steel Water Tanks Thickness

Thicker isn't always better.

When it comes to buying a water tank this kind of thinking doesn't give you the full picture.

Putting the Steel Where it Matters Most

Pioneer Water Tanks have been engineered to be strong, tough and long lasting.

Unique Pioneer V-LOCK®

Engineered for Durability

The more elaborate a profile, the stronger you make a sheet of steel.

Think about the motor car and the shapes and styles car manufacturers use to produce the vehicle body.

A car’s body panels could be completely flat, but manufacturers introduce curves and profiles to improve the strength of their cars.

Saving Your Tank Liner

A feat of engineering excellence, the Pioneer V-Lock wall profile provides superior internal support for the tank liner.

Liner Damage in Other Tanks

In other tanks, the liner is stretched into the deep corrugations in the tank wall during every water level cycle.

Over time, the stresses caused by the water pressure and continual cycling lead to the mechanical failure of the liner.

The Superior V-Lock Design

The Pioneer V-Lock profile has much flatter corrugations. As such, when the liner is pressed up against these flatter sections during water cycling, it is unable to be flexed and stressed to the same degree.

This means that thanks to the V-Lock, the liner – like the rest of the tank – is able to last longer.
