Types of Water Tank Stands

Heights FROM 1.5m to 12m & loads supporting 2 500, 5 000 and 10 000 litre tanks

Our water tank stands elevates your tank above ground level to create gravity‑fed water pressure. This elevation ensures consistent flow, even during pump failures or power outages. 

Standard Water Tank Stand

Our standard water tank stand is built using high-strength, load-bearing angle iron, ensuring superior stability and long-term structural integrity. Each unit includes:

  • A galvanised steel platform to support your water tank for maximum corrosion resistance. The supporting stand structure can be supplied either primed or fully galvanised, depending on your project requirements.

  • Modular, bolted construction for ease of transport and on-site assembly.

  • A structural engineering certificate for compliance and peace of mind, suitable for both local and cross-border installations.

This is a reliable, cost-effective option for farms, homes, and industrial sites needing a consistent, elevated water supply.

Stand with Gang Ladder & Platform

For higher stands or sites requiring frequent maintenance, this upgraded option includes:

  • A gang ladder for safe vertical access.

  • A steel maintenance platform fitted with Mentis grating for secure footing.

  • Perimeter safety railing around the tank, protecting workers during inspection or service tasks.

Ideal for mining, municipal, and high-volume storage sites where safety and compliance are non-negotiable.

FAQs
Water Tank Stands

As a rough guideline, every 10 metres of height gives approximately 1 bar of pressure, making elevated tank stand systems ideal for both domestic and industrial applications.

We manufacture stands in standard heights of 1.5 m, 3.0 m, 4.5 m, 6.0 m, 7.5 m, 9.0 m and 12.0 m.

Our stands are designed for tanks of 2 500 L, 5 000 L and 10 000 L as standard, with custom capacities upon request.

Installation is not automatically included and is quoted separately.

We provide a detailed installation guide to enable clients to complete the installation themselves. Should you require on-site installation, this can be quoted for at an additional cost.

 
 

Stands are fully galvanised (or primed plus galvanised) to ensure long‑term resistance to rust and corrosion, even in demanding outdoor environments.

Each stand is supplied with a Staalboer warranty for quality and workmanship assurance. A structural engineering certificate can be issued at an additional cost. Clients must confirm whether an engineering certificate is required before the stand is erected.

Who can benefit from our products & services
Industries that can benefit from water tanks
Agriculture

Elevated water tanks support livestock watering and remote farm operations where reliable water supply is essential.

Mining & Industrial sites

Where site infrastructure demands steady water supply without reliance on unstable pumps or grid power, elevated stands ensure consistent pressure.

Commercial & Residential Estates

For multi‑storey properties, factories or lodging facilities, elevated tanks ensure adequate pressure, boost system reliability and reduce pump dependency.

Rural Communities & Municipal Projects

Used for village water supply, schools or clinics without stable power supply — elevation gives gravity‑fed water distribution.
