Technical data

5 L jerry can specifications

What sets the jerry can apart from the rest of our range is that it is closed: liquid goes in and out through a narrow threaded neck, not an open top. There is no medical version of our jerry cans. We mold 5 L jerry cans for Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan at our plant in Bishkek.

Packaging weight per liter
48 g per liter of product

240 g of packaging for 5 liters comes to 48 g per liter of product. That is normal for closed packaging. A jerry can wall is thicker than a bucket wall because the can holds its shape without a rim for support and withstands liquid pressure in transit.

Purchase estimate

How much product fits in a 5 L jerry can

Filling is planned in liters, but shipping and sales run on kilograms. Below is the conversion for the liquids this size is most often bought for.

ProductDensityNet weight, 5 L fillJerry cans per 1 tPallets per 1 t
Fuel0.75 kg/L3.8 kg2631.46
Water1.00 kg/L5.0 kg2001.11

Antifreeze1.07 kg/L5.4 kg1851.03

Densities are approximate: for household cleaning concentrates and antifreeze, they vary noticeably from one formula to another. Tell us the actual value and we will recalculate the net weight. The last column assumes 180 jerry cans per pallet.

How many pallets and trucks for 5 L jerry cans

A pallet holds 180 jerry cans and stands 1.6 m high. A standard 13.6 m semi-trailer takes 20 pallets, or 3,600 pcs. Enter your quantity or product weight to see the pallets, tare weight, and truck load.

Jerry can or bucket

Closed-top packaging for liquids

A bucket opens fully: take off the lid and work straight from it. A jerry can is built the opposite way, and that difference shapes everything else.

  • The neck is narrow, threaded, and closed with a screw cap. You pour liquid in and out through it, not scoop it.
  • The handle is molded in one piece with the body, above the neck. There is no separate bail handle, so there is nothing to lose.
  • The body is rectangular with stiffening ribs, so jerry cans stand tight together and hold their shape when full.
  • Empty jerry cans do not nest inside each other, so a pallet holds only 180, many times fewer than buckets. They take up the same space empty and full.
  • On the plus side, closed packaging does not spill in transit and needs no extra wrapping when you ship liquids.

Applications

Typical uses for the 5 L jerry can

Five liters is a jerry can you carry in one hand and put in a car trunk. This format suits makers of household cleaning and car care products, water treatment companies, and retailers whose customers carry the packaging home.

Household cleaning and car care products

A little over five kilograms of concentrate. The screw cap keeps the neck leak-proof, so you can put the jerry can in a trunk without worrying about drips.

Water and automotive fluids

Drinking and non-potable water, antifreeze, and windshield washer fluid. The handle is molded in one piece with the body, so there is nothing to break off.

Fuel

A fuel reserve for a generator, a motor pump, or the road. Fuel is less dense than water, so a full jerry can weighs under four kilograms.

Retail under your own brand

Flat sides take a label without distortion, and the rectangular body sits snugly on a store shelf.

Options

Cap, neck, handle, and printing

Cap

Screw-on and included. The threaded closure keeps the neck leak-proof and is designed for repeated opening, unlike the tamper-evident tear strip on buckets.

Handle

Molded in one piece with the body, above the neck. There are no removable parts, so nothing can break off. A full jerry can weighs about five kilograms and is easy to carry in one hand.

Body

Rectangular, with stiffening ribs on the walls. Jerry cans stand tight against each other on the pallet and in the truck, and the ribs keep the walls from bulging under liquid pressure.

Printing

Flat sides take an adhesive label without distortion; this is the main decoration method for jerry cans. Label format and placement are agreed when you order a production run.

Nearby sizes

Five liters or ten

Our jerry can range has two sizes. They differ in more than capacity: units per pallet drop by almost half, yet the amount of product per pallet space barely changes.

ItemNominal capacityHeightPackaging per 1 LPer palletLiters per pallet
EPG5005 L240 mm48.0 g180900
EPG100010 L296 mm42.0 g1001,000

Look at the last two columns. A pallet holds 180 of the 5 L jerry cans or 100 of the 10 L, yet they carry almost the same amount of product: 900 liters versus 1,000, a gap of about 11%. The packaging weight per liter stands out more: 48 g/L versus 42 g/L. So the 10 L uses less resin, while logistics are practically equal. The choice comes down to the pack size your customers need.

Logistics

Delivery across Kyrgyzstan and to Kazakhstan

Jerry cans are stocked at the main factory warehouse. Delivery time and cost depend on the destination, and we confirm them when you place the order.

How we deliver
KGKyrgyzstanPickup and delivery from Bishkek

Molding and the warehouse share one site in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone, Ak-Chiy village. A pallet of 180 jerry cans is available for pickup. In Bishkek and the Chuy Region, we deliver with our own trucks; to Osh, Jalal-Abad, and Karakol, a freight carrier delivers the order.

Jerry cans do not nest, so an empty order takes up as much truck space as a full one. On long routes, factor this into your purchase planning early. We ship to Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda, and other cities, with delivery within the EAEU.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about 5 L jerry cans

Didn't find an answer?Our sales manager replies Mon-Fri, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Bishkek time

It is closed. You pour liquid in and out through a narrow threaded neck, not an open top. The handle is molded in one piece with the body, and the cap screws on. This packaging does not spill in transit, but you cannot work from it with a brush or a scoop.

Because empty jerry cans do not nest inside each other, unlike buckets. An order takes up the same truck space whether empty or filled, so factor that into your freight planning.

There is no fixed price on the website. It depends on the order volume, color, decoration, and delivery route. Call +996 222 600 292 or request a callback.

Per pallet space they carry almost the same amount of product: 900 liters versus 1,000. On resin use, the 10 L wins: 42 g of packaging per liter versus 48 g. So the choice usually depends not on logistics but on the pack size your customers need.

No, jerry cans come in the standard version only. The medical line is buckets from 1 L to 21 L.

Color and order volume are discussed when we prepare your quote. The standard version is white; for other colors, our sales manager will confirm availability for your order volume.

Yes, we ship by the pallet (180 jerry cans each) to Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda, and other cities. Delivery is within the EAEU, and the rate is based on the number of pallet spaces.
