16 liter Poultry Drinker with Legs

Product Overview

The 16 liter Poultry Drinker with Legs is the largest gravity waterer in the range, built for dense commercial flocks that need minimum refill labor. Printed markings show a 43.5 cm overall height, 8 cm legs, a 39 cm base diameter and a unit weight of 870.4 grams with legs. The white barrel carries 16 kg markings, and the red leg stand elevates the tray well above litter.

At this size, one drinker covers a large drinking zone: the big barrel holds enough water for a full day, and the broad 39 cm base tray gives many birds access around the rim. The four-leg frame spreads the load of the heavy barrel across a wide footprint. Packing is marked 100 pieces of 3 pieces, an export format arranged by the sales team for volume shipments. House managers who switch to this model typically reduce daily refill visits from several rounds to one, and the broad base means fewer units to carry, clean and store between flocks.

Key Features and Benefits

• 16 kg maximum capacity - The largest gravity barrel in the line, cutting refill frequency to once daily in large flocks.
• 8 cm elevated tray - Keeps drinking water clear of litter and splash in dense-house conditions.
• 39 cm wide stable base - The broad leg footprint supports the heavy barrel and resists tipping.
• Tall 43.5 cm profile - Suited to mature commercial birds that reach up to drink.
• Gravity sealed flow - No valves, floats or power required; the reservoir maintains tray level automatically.
• Printed 16 kg barrel marking - Model identification is visible at a distance during stock and delivery checks.

Materials and Quality

The stand is molded from heavy red plastic with extra-thick leg sockets, because a 16 kg load at 43.5 cm height puts real stress on the joint. The translucent barrel is rigid and carries clear 16 kg printing, and the tray ring locks the barrel neck securely. Every unit passes wobble and seating checks, and units are inspected for surface defects before packing. This stand uses the thickest leg sockets in the range, because a 16 kg barrel at 43.5 cm height creates the largest bending moment of any gravity waterer we supply. The translucent barrel is also rigid enough that the printed 16 kg marking stays clear across the product's working life.

How to Use and Maintain

Place the stand on a level, drained area, fill the barrel with clean water and seat it into the tray, checking that all four legs rest flat. Because the unit is tall and heavy, choose the position before filling. Lift the barrel out for refills, wash the tray channel weekly, and move the unit slightly during litter turning. In hot weather, check the water level twice a day and keep the drinker shaded. Position the drinking station away from house corners where drafts collect, and confirm the unit sits level before filling the heavy barrel. During summer, check the water twice a day and add shading if the barrel sits against a sunny wall.

Applications

This large elevated drinker suits dense commercial broiler houses, large layer farms and breeder operations where labor per bird must stay low. It also serves turkey and goose grow-out farms that need tall drinking points and large capacity in the same unit.

Distributors stock it as the flagship elevated waterer in the drinker catalog. Its export packing format is arranged by the sales team for volume container orders, and it loads well alongside the 10 liter and 8 liter elevated models. Experienced farm managers plan the placement of these units before stocking birds, because the drinking zone they form becomes a fixed part of the house layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this too tall for young chickens?

The 43.5 cm profile is aimed at mature growers and commercial birds; young chicks should use the smaller floor or 3 cm-leg drinkers first.

Q2: How does it compare with the 10 liter legs model?

Same leg style, larger barrel and wider base; choose 16 liter when flock density and daily water demand are highest.

Q3: Can the barrel crack under a full load?

The reinforced neck and rigid translucent barrel are molded for the rated load; avoid dropping the filled unit and inspect it seasonally.

Q4: How are large export orders packed?

Packing is arranged per the printed 100 pieces / 3 pieces format; the sales team confirms pallets and container loading for volume buyers. Our sales team can supply dimensions, packing arrangements and shipping advice, and volume orders are consolidated into containers with the rest of the drinker and feeder range for your region. Because this unit is heavy, we coordinate carton markings and pallet labels carefully so your team can identify stock at a glance on arrival. Volume orders are scheduled in production cycles, and we confirm the shipping window well before the vessel date. Volume customers receive priority slots in peak season.
