That single dimension is the whole design brief. An upright drain has to be rolled up to a vehicle that has already been raised; the RD-15 is built to slide underneath one that has not, which is why it turns up in truck bays, RV shops and any operation where the lift is busy and the oil change is not worth waiting for.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIt holds 15 gallons, which is a genuinely large tank for something that low, and it is the combination — deep capacity in a shallow body — that makes it worth choosing over either a shallow basin that fills after two jobs or a tall drain that cannot get under the vehicle in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThree measurements answer that, and all three are on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClearance.\u003c\/strong\u003e The unit stands 8.5\" (220 mm) tall. Before ordering, get under the vehicles you actually service and measure to the lowest point the drain has to pass — usually a crossmember, a skid plate or an exhaust hanger rather than the sump itself, which is what catches people out. If your lowest obstruction is under that figure, the drain does not go under the vehicle and no amount of careful positioning changes it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity.\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 gallons sets how many drains you get between trips to the waste tank.

(19 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e; the descriptive copy for the model puts the unit at around \u003cstrong\u003e110 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe figure matters in two practical ways — whether one person can lift the empty drain onto a truck bed, and what the freight quote is calculated from. \u003cstrong\u003eIf either decides your purchase, confirm the current weight with us in writing before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e and we will get it straight from Ranger.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eA wide body is a stability decision, not a styling one\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe RD-15 is deliberately wide-bodied, and the reason is what happens when the tank is nearly full. Fifteen gallons of used oil is a substantial moving mass, and a narrow tank on casters will slop, shift its centre of gravity and try to tip when it is pushed or when a caster hits a floor joint. Spreading the footprint keeps the balance point low and inside the wheelbase, so the drain stays flat while you move it. Built-in baffles do the other half of that job: they break the fluid up internally so it cannot surge from one end to the other in a single wave.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe same baffles, together with the splash guards, are what keeps used oil where it belongs when the stream first hits the pan. Oil arriving from a hot engine at a height does not land politely: without guards it comes back up onto the underside of the vehicle you have just been paid to service, and onto the floor you then have to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe mesh cover, and why removable matters\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe body is heavy-duty steel, which for a shop-floor drain is less about strength than about surviving being knocked, kicked and reversed into in an environment permanently coated in oil. A removable steel mesh cover sits over the opening and catches debris — the sludge, the old washer, the bits of gasket — before it reaches the tank and, more importantly, before it reaches whatever you use to evacuate the tank afterwards. Particulate is what blocks pumps and disposal lines. That the mesh lifts out is the practical point: a screen you cannot remove is a screen nobody cleans, and a blocked screen turns a drain into a spill.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eMoving it, and emptying it\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSwivel casters and a T-shaped handle mean the drain is steered rather than shoved, which is what you want when it is full and you are threading between a lift post and a parts trolley. The T-handle gives two-handed control and a predictable pivot.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEmptying is deliberately open-ended. There is a built-in drain nozzle for gravity discharge into a waste tank, and the unit will equally take an evacuation pump if your shop is set up for vacuum transfer. Note that no pump is listed among this model's features, so if you need one, plan to supply it or ask us what pairs with it — some other drains in the Ranger range include one and this listing does not say that it does.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTruck and RV service\u003c\/strong\u003e — the application Ranger names for it, and the one the low body exists for.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBusy general shops\u003c\/strong\u003e where the lift is committed and oil changes have to happen on the floor.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFleet and municipal yards\u003c\/strong\u003e servicing vehicles that are too tall, too long or too heavy to put on a lift for routine work.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSerious home garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with a lowered car and no room for an upright drain.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe drain arrives complete: the wide-body tank with its built-in baffles and splash guards, the removable steel mesh cover, the built-in drain nozzle, the swivel casters and the T-shaped handle. The features list on this page describes those as parts of the unit. It does not list an evacuation pump, a hose kit or a waste container, so assume those are not included unless we confirm otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe data behind this listing makes no third-party approval or conformity claim for the RD-15, and we will not print one it does not make. For a passive collection vessel that is unremarkable. If your site, your insurer or your environmental permit requires equipment carrying a particular listing for waste oil handling, tell us what the requirement is before ordering and we will take it to Ranger rather than guess.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDelivery is to the lower 48 states, priced live at checkout against your own address rather than an average. Larger items travel by freight: the carrier will call to book a window, someone has to be there to take the delivery off the truck, and terminal collection is available if you would rather bring your own transport. A residential address carries a residential fee. Inspect the shipment against the paperwork before you sign for it and write any damage on the delivery receipt then and there — a signed clean receipt is very hard to argue with afterwards. Collection from the Ranger pickup locations shown further down this page is also available.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRanger's written warranty covers its product line and we will send you the document that applies to this drain on request. The data behind this listing states no term, so no term is printed here; ask us and we will confirm it rather than have you rely on a number on a web page. If the unit develops a fault, do not cut, weld or dismantle it before speaking to us — a repair attempt is the most reliable way to lose a claim that would otherwise have been paid.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-feature-continer kd-flex-row-2\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-feature-item kd-prouduct-feature-content\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide-body design eliminates tipping and assures proper balance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemovable steel mesh cover keeps out debris\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in baffles and splash guards prevent spillage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty steel construction with a low-profile design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdeal for truck and RV service\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwivel casters for superior mobility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eT-shaped handle for easy positioning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in drain nozzle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eFluid Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e15 gallons\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e8.5\" (220 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e43 lbs.
