Tall bucket with bail handle

15 L plastic bucket

Model: PK150 · HTI plastic buckets

A food-grade 15 liter plastic bucket with a steel bail handle, plastic grip and a tight-fitting lid with a tamper-evident tear strip. At this size the range stops growing wider and starts growing taller, so a pallet carries more product than with the 18-liter bucket. We mold it in Bishkek and ship across Kyrgyzstan and to Kazakhstan: Almaty, Astana, Shymkent and other cities.

Specifications

15 L bucket specifications

There is no medical version of this size: the 15-liter bucket is made in food grade only, with a steel bail handle and a white plastic grip. Every 15 liter bucket for Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan is molded at our plant in Bishkek.

303 millimeters across the top with a body height of 292: on this bucket, diameter and height are almost equal. Every size below it in the range is noticeably wider than it is tall; the 21-liter is already taller than it is wide. The 15-liter size sits right at the turning point. The headspace to the brim is 1.56 liters: the nominal 15 liters is the working fill, and the bucket holds 16.56 to the very top.

Purchasing calculation

How much product fits in a 15 L bucket

Production plans filling in liters, while shipping and price lists work in kilograms. The table below bridges that gap for the products most often filled into 15-liter buckets.

ProductDensityNet weight at a 15 L fillBuckets per 1 tonnePallets of buckets per 1 tonne
Water-based paint1.50 kg/L22.5 kg440.05
Ready-mixed putty1.70 kg/L25.5 kg390.05

Cottage cheese and dairy products1.05 kg/L15.8 kg630.08
Primer1.02 kg/L15.3 kg650.08

The densities are typical values and good for a rough estimate. Your real figure may differ: it depends on the mix recipe, the type of honey and the fat content of the cottage cheese. Send us your actual density and we will redo the calculation. The last column assumes 816 buckets per pallet.

Order calculator

How many pallets and trucks for 15 L buckets

A pallet holds 816 buckets and stands 2.86 m high. A mega trailer with a 3 m high body takes 18 pallets, or 14,688 buckets. Enter your quantity or product weight and we will show the pallets, packaging weight and truck load.

Pallet specs

Trailers and containers are calculated on standard internal dimensions, with single-stacked pallets (no double stacking). Your sales manager will confirm the price and lead time for the order.

Logistics by volume

How much product ships on one pallet

The pallet quantity alone tells you nothing: what matters is how many liters of product fit in one pallet space. Here are the figures for the three largest sizes, and they do not work out the way common sense suggests.

  • 15 liters and 11.5 liters stack on a pallet identically, 816 buckets each. But one pallet space carries 12,240 liters of product versus 9,384: 2,856 liters more with the same pallet footprint.
  • The 18-liter bucket holds more, but fewer of them fit on a pallet: 600 versus 816. In liters of product that is 10,800 versus 12,240, so the 15-liter comes out ahead.
  • The reason is diameter. The 15-liter bucket measures 303 millimeters across, the 18-liter 332: fewer buckets fit on the pallet footprint, and the extra volume does not make up for it.
  • Only the 21-liter bucket gives more liters per pallet in the range: 12,600. The difference from the 15-liter is just 360 liters, about 3%.

Applications

Typical uses for the 15 L bucket

15 liters is chosen where buckets are shipped rather than carried: dairies, paint manufacturers and apiaries in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. A full bucket of paint weighs 22.5 kilograms - you can lift it, but you would not want to haul it up scaffolding every day. On a pallet, though, it carries more product than any other bucket in the range except the 21-liter.

Paint and primer

22.5 kilograms of water-based paint in a single bucket, and 44 buckets per tonne. The steel bail handle with plastic grip takes the full weight, and the grip turns in your palm instead of cutting into it.

Cottage cheese and dairy products

Just over 15 kilograms at a density of 1.05. Polypropylene withstands washing and cold storage, and the tight-fitting lid keeps out foreign odors.

Putty and mastic

Ready-mixed putty, concrete primer and waterproofing mastic. The 263 millimeter base keeps the bucket steady while you work from it with a trowel.

Honey extraction

21 kilograms net: a bucket for the settling room, not for carrying around the apiary. The 1.56 liter headspace to the brim absorbs expansion when temperatures change.

Components

Lid, bail handle, color, and printing

Lid

Supplied with the bucket, it seats on the inner rim. It opens via a tamper-evident tear strip molded onto the body itself, which stays in place even after the lid is removed. The strip cannot be put back, so you can always tell whether the container has been opened.

Bail handle

Galvanized steel wire, 40 grams, with a white plastic grip in the middle. A full fill of paint weighs over 20 kilograms, and at that weight the grip really earns its keep: it turns under your fingers instead of letting the wire dig into your palm. A plastic handle version is not made for this size.

Color

Two versions. White goes to paints and coatings and to full-surface printing across the whole wall. Clear is chosen when the product needs to be visible through the wall: honey, cottage cheese, brine.

Printing

This bucket is branded with an adhesive label: it is applied to the finished body and works even for small orders. In-mold IML film and offset printing are not available for 15 liters. If you need the artwork directly on the wall, see the neighboring sizes, 11.5 and 18 liters.

Nearby sizes

Fifteen liters or a nearby size

The nearest sizes in the range are 11.5 and 18 liters. Comparing them on volume alone makes no sense: each of the three has a differently shaped body, and the pallet quantity does not behave the way the liters would suggest.

ItemNominal capacityTop diameterHeightEmpty weightPlastic per 1 LPer pallet

PK18018 L332 mm286 mm526 g29.2 g600

The 11.5 and 15 liter buckets share one pallet quantity, 816, because their diameters almost match: 295 and 303 millimeters. Only the height differs, 234 versus 292. So for the same logistics cost, a pallet of 15-liter buckets carries 12,240 liters of product versus 9,384. On packaging per liter, by contrast, the 11.5 liter wins: 26.7 grams versus 30.0. The 18-liter is wider than both, and only 600 fit on a pallet.

Logistics

Delivery across Kyrgyzstan and to Kazakhstan

We have one finished-goods warehouse for the whole range, and 15-liter buckets ship from the same place as everything else. Exact lead times and costs depend on the destination; our sales manager will confirm them when you place an order.

How we deliver
KGKyrgyzstanPickup and delivery from Bishkek

Our production site and warehouse are in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone, Ak-Chiy village, so molding and dispatch happen in one place. You can collect a pallet of 816 buckets with your own vehicle. We serve customers in Bishkek and the Chuy Region with our own transport; orders to Osh, Jalal-Abad and Karakol go by freight carrier.

Over long distances this size outperforms its neighbors: one pallet space carries 12,240 liters of product, more than the 18-liter bucket. The longer the route to Astana or Shymkent, the more this shows on the freight bill. Deliveries stay within the EAEU, with no customs clearance.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about 15 L buckets

Didn't find your answer?Our sales managers are available Mon-Fri, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Bishkek time

Pallet stacking depends on the footprint a bucket takes up, not on its capacity. The top diameters of these two sizes differ by 8 millimeters, 303 and 295, so they share one pallet quantity of 816. The difference is in body height: 292 millimeters versus 234. The result is simple: the same pallet space carries 12,240 liters instead of 9,384.

Not in 15 liters; it is food-grade only. The medical range is built from other sizes: 1 liter, 2.3, 3, 3.8, 5.6, 11.2, 11.5, 18 and 21. They have their own section of the website.

The cost depends on run size, color, branding method and delivery route, so there is no fixed price list on the website. Call +996 222 600 292 or leave your number, and our sales manager will call you back with a quote.

15. A pallet takes 816 of them versus 600, which in product terms is 12,240 liters versus 10,800. The 18-liter bucket holds more per unit but is wider at the top, 332 millimeters instead of 303, and that width eats up its entire advantage.

Metal: a 40 gram galvanized bail handle with a white plastic grip in the middle. A plastic handle is not offered here, because a full fill weighs over 20 kilograms.

Just over 1.5 liters. The full ISO capacity is 16.56 liters; the nominal 15 liters is the working level. The remainder is needed for the lid to seat and for the contents to expand at sub-zero temperatures.

Yes, regularly. We ship pallets of 816 buckets to Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda and many other cities. Deliveries stay within the EAEU, and freight cost is based on the number of pallet spaces.

Pickup is from our factory warehouse in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone, Ak-Chiy village. We deliver across the capital and the Chuy Region ourselves and ship to the southern regions and Issyk-Kul via a freight carrier.

Yes, with an adhesive label on the finished bucket. We do not offer IML or offset printing on 15 liters; those are available on the neighboring sizes, 11.5 and 18 liters.
