Truck mounted tanks give owners and operators exposure to new markets and loads.

Drivers may haul raw liquid materials to a customer and then take away the finished product. Originally developed for the military; this technology has been in use commercially for more than 40 years and hauled over a million miles. These tanks are DOT approved for up to class 9 hazardous materials.
Embankment Supported Fabritank systems are easily constructed and installed and meet changes in community needs by being easy to remove or relocate with little evidence of disturbance to the area. The systems combine many of the features of other tanks, while making it possible to install an attractive, low profile, reasonably priced storage system with a simple and straightforward installation.
