AquaCrate 400L Storm Soakaway Crate

High Load-Bearing Water Storage Solution

The AquaCrate 400L Storm Soakaway Crate is a robust and efficient solution for managing excess rainwater. Designed to prevent flooding and waterlogging, this crate allows surface water to be quickly absorbed and dissipated into the ground, preventing waterlogged ground. With its high load-bearing capability, it is suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications, including HGV traffic. The modular design ensures versatility in size and shape, making it easy to install and configure to meet specific site requirements. Manufactured in the UK from recycled polypropylene, the AquaCrate 400L is an eco-friendly choice for sustainable water management and is SuDs compliant.
