5 Litre Jerry Can Dimensions

Introduction

Need accurate 5 litre jerry can dimensions for packaging design, storage planning, or transport compliance? Gold Coin Polyplast supplies standardized HDPE 5 L jerry cans with tight dimensional control, stack-friendly design, and leak-proof closures for industrial, food, chemical, and pharma use.

Description

A typical 5 L HDPE jerry can is designed for high rigidity with ergonomic handling. While exact sizes vary by model and application, our commercial 5 L formats follow practical footprints that optimize palletization and shelf fitment. Below are commonly requested nominal dimensions (± tolerances depend on resin, wall profile, and mold):

External (approx.): Length 190–210 mm × Width 150–170 mm × Height 280–320 mm
Neck/Closure: 38 mm or 45 mm (most popular), optional tamper-evident ring
Wall Thickness: 1.5–2.5 mm (zone-dependent; heavy-duty variants available)
Handle Clearance: ~35–45 mm for confident gloved grip
Empty Weight: ~180–350 g (lightweight to heavy-duty grades)

Applications and Benefits

Key Dimensions & Practical Notes

Footprint: 190–210 × 150–170 mm fits standard shelf bays and carton sizes.
Overall height: 280–320 mm including closure; vital for carton internal height.
