8000 Gallon Husky Portable 40 OZ Self Supporting Tank (MPN HS-8000-40-OZ)

Description

Husky® Self-Supporting Water Tanks—often called onion tanks or pumpkin tanks—are the ultimate portable water storage solution when space and manpower are limited. The HS-8000 model delivers an 8,000-gallon capacity in a frameless design that requires no assembly, allowing for a one-man “just unfold & go!” setup. Its lightweight, portable design makes it easy to transport, store, and deploy, even on slopes where traditional open top tanks struggle.
