Skinny® Tanks
The Narrow folding frame drop tank
The Husky® Skinny® Tank is a portable Folding Frame Tank with a narrow design, allowing more options as to where you can set up your portable dump tank. If you need to shuttle water on a narrow or one-lane road, for instance, the eight-foot-wide Skinny® Tank allows access for your apparatus to get around the tank and not be forced into a ditch. It also allows flexibility in tight situations, such as wooded areas with limited space or even between standing structures.
Easy Lift Handles & Quick-Release Drain
Husky® Folding Water Tanks include our exclusive "Easy Lift Handles" (US Patent No. 8,746,478 and US Patent 10,518,967 ) and Quick-Release Drain Tube, making Husky® the easiest to handle folding water tank on the market.
Husky® folding frame tanks are available with the drain tubes mounted for inside or outside use. Standard tanks come with the drain tube mounted on the outside. Tanks can be built with the drain tube on the inside, just let us know, and we will accommodate at no charge.

"We've used drop tanks in our department for years and have always had problems getting the water out and folding the tanks up. We've always sent the rookie underneath the tank to get the water out. Since HUSKY's® invention of the Easy Lift Handles, getting water out and folding the tank has been much easier."
