Advantages Of A Poly Tank


We offer poly tanks, but what does that mean, and how can it benefit your fire tank truck?

Our poly fire tanks are made from high-impact-resistant copolymer polypropylene (CPP), a type of thermoplastic polymer.

Poly tanks can be custom-built to any size or shape, allowing flexibility when ordering your tanker truck.

Benefits of a Poly Tank

They’re easy to clean and maintain, which gives them an advantage over stainless steel tanks.

While there are benefits to stainless steel tanks, they are more susceptible to degradation due to different types of bacteria in water. Stainless tanks can be affected by MIC (microbial-induced corrosion), in which microorganisms cause decay.

Poly tank trucks, also known as plastic tank trucks, offer several advantages over traditional metal tank trucks. Here are some of the advantages:

  • Lightweight: Poly tanks are much lighter than metal tank trucks, which means they can carry more weight without exceeding weight restrictions. This can lead to more efficient transportation and lower fuel costs.
  • Corrosion-resistant: They are highly resistant to corrosion from chemicals and other substances, they resist organic solvents and degreasing agents, which can extend the life of the tank and reduce maintenance costs.
  • Easy to clean: Poly tanks are easy to clean and sanitize, which is important for industries that transport food-grade or medical-grade materials.
  • Cost-effective: Poly tank trucks are often less expensive than metal tank trucks, which can make them an attractive option for businesses looking to save money.
  • Versatile: Poly tanks are used to transport a wide range of materials, including water, food products, and more.
  • Durable: Poly tanks are strong and impact-resistant, which means they can withstand the rigors of transportation and handling.
  • Copolymer polypropylene (CCP) is resistant to staining and known for its tensile (resistance to breaking under tension) strength.
  • Poly tanks are easy to install and can even be moved after installation.
