Jerrycans
Jerrycans for NZ Laboratory and Industrial Liquid Control
Our curated collection of Jerrycans delivers practical storage and handling performance for technical environments:
- Useful across day-to-day site tasks: Jerrycans are commonly used for storing and moving water, service liquids, cleaning media, and other controlled-use fluids where teams need a manageable container format that supports orderly handling.
- Accessory-based workflow flexibility: Supporting items linked to Heathrow Scientific, BOCHEM can assist with tubing guidance, stopcock control, and bench transfer steps where Jerrycans are part of a wider storage or dispensing process.
- Relevant B2B applications: In sample preparation areas, engineering workshops, maintenance stores, and plant support spaces, Jerrycans help reduce awkward pouring and support cleaner transfer between storage locations and points of use.
How to Choose the Right Jerrycans for New Zealand Facilities
Selecting the correct Jerrycans for your facility requires evaluating several technical parameters:
- Stored media and container resistance: Check whether the liquid is water-based, chemical, fuel-related, or cleaning-focused, then confirm the container material and seal design are suitable for ongoing use.
- Volume and handling practicality: Consider how much liquid must be stored, how often containers are moved, and whether the chosen size fits safer manual handling and efficient shelf or cabinet storage.
- Dispensing and closure needs: Review caps, seals, pour control, and any related accessories so the Jerrycans support cleaner transfer and better day-to-day control at the point of use.
Support the Storage Setup With Related Safety Categories
Versatile equipment is essential for comprehensive facility management. To further optimise your workspace, we recommend exploring these related categories:
- Metallic flammable liquid cans: These are often specified alongside Jerrycans where sites also require dedicated storage options for flammable contents and more application-specific containment.
- Hazardous materials cabinets: Cabinets strengthen a safer storage strategy by helping segregate, protect, and organise filled Jerrycans in laboratories and industrial facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called a jerrycan?
The name comes from a well-known portable container design that became widely associated with efficient liquid transport and storage. In current technical use, Jerrycans are valued for their practical shape, portability, and suitability for controlled handling tasks.
Can Jerrycans be used for diesel or other workplace liquids?
Yes, provided the chosen container is appropriate for the stored liquid and aligned with site handling rules. Technical buyers should check compatibility, closure performance, and the intended duty before use.
Do you support multi-site purchasing and technical advice for Jerrycans in New Zealand?
Yes. We work with laboratories, industrial operators, and facility teams that need coordinated purchasing, product guidance, and support for related handling accessories. Assistance is available through our Auckland service centre and NZ technical team.
