Portable Poly Oil Drain (27 Gal) Overview
You've got a truck up on the lift with the drain plug at chest height one job, then a sedan barely off the ground the next. The John Dow Industries Portable Poly Oil Drain, 27 gallons, adjusts from 45 inches to 70 inches, so you're not swapping equipment or improvising between vehicles.
The 27-gallon poly tank runs both ways. Gravity drain right out of the box, or pump evacuation with the optional male coupler (No. HA-15242-00), so you're not locked into one method. A 16 inch deep-drawn steel funnel with an expanded metal screen keeps debris out of what you're collecting, and the built-in sight tube lets you check fluid level without popping the lid. Handles on all four sides and heavy-duty 4 inch swivel casters mean you can grab it from any angle and roll it where you need it.
