The emergency frame tank can be folded up for quick transportation in time sensitive situations. Once you have arrived to your location, these tanks can be quickly unfolded and put into use. Their ability to provide a strong outer wall while still remaining flexible has made them a favorite for relief efforts, fire fighters, and oil spill cleanup.
Frame tanks are typically made with either a steel or aluminum outer container. Steel frames are more robust for stationary or demanding conditions, while the aluminum material is more light weight.

How The Collapsible Frame Tank has been Used
Fire Fighting/Relief Efforts
During forest or wild wires, having an emergency water storage tank can be crucial to putting out the fires and and quickly supplying fire equipment. Capable of being unfolded in minutes, these tanks provide large capacity water storage in an economical, portable container. These tanks are often used to store water while water trucks move out for additional supplies.
Aqua Farming
Frame tanks can also be used in aqua farming applications or as a temporary fish storage tank while larger tanks are being cleaned. Their open top and large capacity design makes them easy to fill with water and fish for long-term or temporary storage.
Decontamination and Cleaning
Flexible folding tanks have also been used in many decontamination and cleaning efforts. Walls for these tanks are typically supported by metal frames that helps to ensure stability while in use. Their wide inner structure makes them easy for boom cleanup, equipment decontamination, decon showers and even cleaning jobs.
