Fol-Da-Tank Self Supporting Portable Water Tank (Forest Service Model)- 6000 Gallon
Model: SSTFS-6000

This Forest Service model 6000 gallon self-supporting portable tank is designed for use in remote areas for water relay and helicopter dip buckets. (GSA Approved)

The self-supporting frameless portable water tanks have been designed to meet the most stringent requirements of rural/urban fire fighting. Problems with inadequate or unusable supplies of water are eliminated by the use of open top self-supporting portable water tanks. In remote areas the self-supporting tanks are designed for standby water containment, water shuttling situations and provide a continuous portable water supply. In remote areas, the SST may be filled by pumping water from a natural water source, such as a stream or creek, with a small gas operated pump. As the self-supporting tank begins to fill with water, its unique design allows it to become self supporting automatically. The SST does not require any additional supporting framework, assembly, or frame installation. Easy lift grab handles are placed evenly around the base of the tank for easy set up.
