Our tanks are available in durable PVC and high-performance EXLON® materials, ensuring you get a robust tank that can withstand the demands of any emergency or industrial application.
Key Features of Onion Bladder Water Tanks for Rapid Deployment
Choosing between an aluminum folding frame tank and a steel folding frame tank is a critical decision that depends entirely on your operational needs. Both options feature the same durable, 22oz vinyl liner, but their frames are built for different purposes.
One-Person Setup
These self supporting onion tanks are a frameless design, so there is no heavy assembly. They can be quickly deployed by a single person, which frees up valuable manpower in critical situations.
Self-Rising Design
The heavy-duty foam collar automatically rises as the tank fills with water. This simple yet effective feature allows for a quick and effortless setup, and keeps the open top accessible for filling or dumping.
Low-Side vs. High-Side Models
Our frameless tanks come in two distinct models. The low-side models are ideal for water shuttle operations, while the high-side models are designed for specialized uses like bucket dipping in forest fire operations, making them highly versatile.
Patented Easy Lift Handles
An exclusive feature on Husky tanks, these handles are welded to the tank floor. They make teardown quicker and easier, allowing you to fold and remove the tank with less effort and in a shorter amount of time.
Superior Durability
The entire tank is made from a durable PVC or high-performance EXLON® material, which is known for its superior resistance to UV, heat, and cold cracking. This ensures the tank can withstand the toughest environments and last for years.
Accessories and Fittings
To get the most out of your onion water tanks, a wide array of accessories are available. From ground covers to protect the liner from rough terrain to a variety of standard flanges and fittings, our product specialists can help you find the right pieces for your specific needs.
Applications of Husky Self-Supporting Onion Tanks
Rural Firefighting
For fire crews in remote locations, our self supporting onion tanks are an indispensable tool. They serve as a quick-access water dump site for tenders, allowing them to rapidly offload their water and return to the fill station. This frameless solution dramatically increases a fire department's water delivery capability and response time.
Emergency Water Storage
Whether for disaster relief or a planned outage, a Husky Portable Containment onion water tank is a vital asset. Its simple one-person setup and durable construction make it a reliable, high-capacity reservoir for clean water, ensuring communities and remote teams have a dependable supply when it matters most.
Industrial & Construction Sites
These frameless tanks are perfect for job sites that require a flexible water source. They can be used for dust control, on-site cleaning, or even for mixing fire retardant. The choice between low-side and high-side models allows for easy dumping or bucket dipping, adapting to the specific needs of your project.
Aquaculture & Aquaculture Systems
The open top design and durable liner of our self-supporting tanks make them an excellent, temporary solution for fish farming, water treatment, or pond maintenance. They provide a safe and contained environment for aquatic life while a permanent pond or tank is being cleaned or repaired.
