Further info on our range of water tanks: Australia is a beautiful country, but a hard task master for those who are not prepared to live and work in its extreme weather conditions. Too much rain can come at one point, followed by months or years with hardly a drop. Purchasing high quality poly water tanks to store emergency water in above ground, or underground water tanks, with an attractive modern design, is one way to get by the dry times. The Tank Factory manufactures high quality poly rain water tanks in a variety of shapes and sizes.

It is one of the largest scientific and industrial complexes in Russia [5] and the largest main battle tank manufacturer in the world. [6] In June 2004 the facility was renamed the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center (JSMC) to reflect the decision to manufacture the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle for the United States Marine Corps there. [7] Despite the name change, the plant is still incorrectly referred to as the "Lima Army Tank Plant", although the plant now services all five branches of the US Armed Forces and is now controlled by the Department of Defense, rather than just the army.

In 1976, the army selected Chrysler's design for what would become the Abrams tank, and designated the Lima plant, operated by Chrysler, to initially build the tank. The army pressured Chrysler, in financial difficulty, to form a subsidiary, Chrysler Defense, to hold and protect the tank contract from potential bankruptcy proceedings.

Local councils in many areas have imposed and implemented restrictions on the consumption and use of water. This has been attributed to long and often unpredictable periods of drought. It was once primarily rural areas of Australia which depended on rainwater tanks, but tanks are now used extensively in most rural and urban areas. A tank allows you to harvest rain and use it in accordance with your needs, allowing you to be more flexible with your water usage. The Panzerkampfwagen III, commonly known as the Panzer III, was a medium tank developed in the 1930s by Germany, and was used extensively in World War II. The official German ordnance designation was Sd.Kfz. 141. It was intended to fight other armoured fighting vehicles and serve alongside and support the Panzer IV; however, as the Germans faced the formidable T-34, more powerful anti-tank guns were needed, and since the Panzer IV had more development potential, it was redesigned to mount the long-barrelled 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun. The Panzer III effectively became obsolete in the anti-tank role and was supplanted by the Panzer IV. From 1942, the last version of Panzer III mounted the 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24, better suited for infantry support. Production of the Panzer III ceased in 1943. Nevertheless, the Panzer III's capable chassis provided hulls for the Sturmgeschütz III assault gun until the end of the war. In 2022, Uralvagonzavod was placed under additional sanctions as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [16] Rain water tanks come in three general flavours. The traditional choice is large, cylindrical water tanks (or round tanks) that are often used in agricultural scenarios where land is plentiful. Slimline water tanks are different in that their form is more rectangular, slim, and compact, making them ideal for cities and urban areas. Some of our top selling models include our 3,000 litre slimline tank, and our 5,000 litre slimline model. In areas where there’s a desire to hide the tank completely, underground water tanks have been developed that can be safely buried out of sight. In the past, water storage tanks were made from galvanised metal or concrete. Nowadays, most tanks are made from modern, tough, durable polyethylene materials that are rapidly replacing older designs. Advantages of Slimline Tanks

This is the default option. The model is shipped as is from the printing machines. It will require support and sprues removed. This will take just a few minutes to an hour for larger models. In July 2014, the Obama administration imposed sanctions, through the US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) by adding Uralvagonzavod and other entities to the Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN) in retaliation for the ongoing annexation of the Crimean Peninsula by the Russian Federation and the Russian interference in Ukraine. [12] [13] The United Kingdom also imposed sanctions from 12 September 2014. [14]Chrysler subsequently sold the Defense subsidiary to General Dynamics in 1982. [3] In January 1985, the last M1 rolled off the assembly line, and in October, production began on the improved M1 (IPM1). The plant later manufactured the M1A1, with the first pilot vehicle built in August 1985. The M1A1 was produced at a rate of 120 a month. [4] 1990s [ edit ] General Dynamics Land Systems bought Chrysler Defense in 1982. The plant became the sole US tank factory in when the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant closed in 1996. Our poly range is manufactured from polyethylene (also known as polyethylene tanks), and are very durable and available in a wide range of colours. Round water tanks do consume a considerable amount of space on your property (which is fine in many instances), but if you have very limited space on your property, you may like to consider one of our slimline water tanks. If a slimline tank still requires too much space, an underground water tank may be best suited to your requirements, and can be hidden under the ground, and completely out of sight!
