Understanding the Basics
FREE STANDING HORIZONTAL TANKS are available for a variety of custom applications in both stationary and portable configurations. Manufactured from medium-density polyethylene with U.V. inhibitors and designed for containment of liquids of up to 1.7 specific gravity. Tank walls are translucent for level viewing and equipped with gallon indicators.
Free Standing Horizontal Tanks are selected when transportable (non-DOT regulated) containment is required for indoor or outdoor applications. Tanks are equipped with moulded-in legs to support the tank and band/hoop locators for tie-down.
Types of Tanks
ROUND HORIZONTAL TANKS match the specs of the free-standing horizontal tanks above, but require cradles and bands to support the round bottom. All tanks are equipped with drain-out sumps.
ELLIPTICAL TANKS can be selected for stationary or transportable (non-DOT regulated) applications both indoor and outdoor. The elliptical tank lowers the center of gravity to enhance stability and visibility. The tanks feature a standard 2 1/2″ collection sump on the bottom for full drain out. an 8 1/2″ deep sump option is available in five sizes. The Sump is located directly under the lid on standard tanks, but a center sump option is available on tanks between 500-1250 gallons. These tanks require the bottom to be fully supported with a cradle for use. The tanks are manufactured from medium-density polyethylene with U.V. inhibitors and designed for containment of liquids of up to 1.7 specific gravity. Tank walls are translucent for level viewing and equipped with gallon indicators.
Pickup Tanks are selected as applicator tanks or when transportable (non-DOT regulated) containment is required. Tanks are designed to fit most pick up trucks. Tanks are manufactured from medium-density polyethylene with U.V. stabilizers and designed for containment of liquids of up to 1.7 specific gravity. Tank walls are translucent for level viewing and equipped with gallon indicators.

What Are Horizontal Tanks Used For?
Horizontal tanks have many uses, including:
Storing chemicals
Horizontal tanks are used to store a variety of chemicals, including solvents, alcohols, ketones, and ethers, at manufacturing plants. They are often used to store corrosive or flammable liquids. be sure to check this chemical data sheet prior to storing chemicals in your tank.
Storing water
Horizontal tanks are used to store water for agricultural and water treatment applications, along with water delivery trucks.
Storing petroleum products
Horizontal tanks are used to store petroleum products, such as oil, fuel, and lubricants, in petroleum-storage depots, oil production and refining enterprises, and other industrial facilities.
Storing food products
Horizontal tanks can store food products.
Buffer tanks
Horizontal tanks can be used as buffer tanks in applications such as air conditioning.
Horizontal tanks are often cylindrical, shorter, and broader than vertical tanks. They have a lower center of gravity, making them more stable than vertical tanks, especially during transport. They are also easier to transport and require less personnel to handle.
*Always check with your municipal requirements prior to installation.
