Low Profile Water Tank - 60 Gallon
-
The Detail King 60 Gallon Low Profile Water Tank is a UV-stabilized poly water tank designed for mobile detailers running half-ton pickup trucks, cargo vans, or space-limited trailer rigs where the bed or cargo height won’t accept a standard-profile tank. At 18 inches tall, it fits under most camper shells, tonneau covers, and bed-mounted toolboxes that larger tanks won’t clear.
Highlight specs:
- 60 gallons when full
- 18” tall low-profile footprint (camper-shell and toolbox friendly)
- UV-stabilized linear polyethylene
- 3/4” NPT molded outlets (customizable)
- FDA & NSF approved (resin compliance FDA 21 CFR 177.1520)
- Molded tie-down slots for ratchet straps
What “low-profile water tank capacity” means for half-ton truck detailers: a low-profile tank trades vertical height for length and width to drop the silhouette under bed-cap, camper-shell, and toolbox clearance limits, without losing capacity to a smaller tank. At 18 inches tall, this 60-gallon fits truck beds where a standard-profile 60-gallon would either hit the cap or block rear-window visibility. A 60-gallon fill covers 4 to 6 full exterior washes (10 to 15 gallons per vehicle), which is the right capacity for part-time mobile detailers, side-hustle operators, and pros running half-ton routes with shorter wash counts. The wider, lower footprint also lowers the center of gravity, so the tank stays stable in transit even on highway speeds and unpaved drive approaches.
This Poly 60 Gallon Water Tank is ideal for the mobile detailer working out of a pick-up truck. It is also a space saver in trailers and vans when limited room is available. This water tank includes molded slots for tie-down straps so that the unit stays secure and safe at all times.
Who this is for
- Half-ton truck detailers running F-150, Silverado 1500, Tundra, or Ram 1500 rigs where a standard 60-gallon tank won’t fit under the camper shell or toolbox
- Van and trailer rig builders with limited vertical clearance who still need a real working-day water supply
- Part-time and weekend mobile detailers stepping up from a 30-gallon tank but not ready to add a full-size 100-gallon rig
Clearance and sizing guidance
- Standard 60-gallon tank (taller, narrower footprint) is the right pick when bed clearance isn’t a constraint
- 60-gallon low profile (this product) is the answer when you have a camper shell, tonneau cover, bed-mounted toolbox, or want the lower center of gravity
- 100 gallon is the step up when you need 8-10 vehicles per fill instead of 4-6, and your truck can accept a standard-profile tank (100 Gallon Water Tank)
- 150 to 200 gallon is worth it for two-operator rigs, trailer builds, or routes that include truck and SUV-heavy fleets (150 Gallon Water Tank, 200 Gallon Water Tank)

A 60-gallon tank suits part-time and half-ton-truck detailers. At 10 to 15 gallons per vehicle, 60 gallons covers 4 to 6 full exterior washes per fill. Step up to a 100 or 150 gallon if you run 8-plus vehicles a day or chase commercial accounts.
-
Because a taller tank blocks visibility and rides high. This tank is only 18 inches tall, so it clears most camper shells, tonneau covers, and bed toolboxes a standard 60-gallon would hit. The wider, lower footprint also drops the center of gravity, keeping the load stable at highway speeds.
-
Size and condition of the vehicle you are washing will determine exactly how much water you will use, but on average you will use 10-15 gallons of water to wash most cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. For a 60-gallon tank, that works out to roughly 4 to 6 vehicles per fill.
-
No. This tank is built from UV-stabilized linear polyethylene, so you can leave water in it for periods of time without worrying about mold or algae. That means you can fill it and stage the rig overnight in a truck bed, ready for an early start, without dumping and refilling each morning.
-
Not always. Most residential and many commercial pressure washers must be force-fed from a pressurized source, so they will not draw from a tank on their own. With one of those, add an in-line pump to feed the washer. A machine built for tank-fed use draws water directly, no extra equipment needed.
