Collapsible Water Containers

When learning about our collapsible tanks, one of the most frequent questions we find customers asking is whether or not the tanks can be transported. In general, most of our collapsible tanks are not designed for transportation while they are full. However, when empty the collapsible tank is extremely flexible and is often folded or rolled up for movement to a new location.

That being said, we do offer a couple of uniquely designed collapsible tanks that can be used for transportation when they are full.


Portable Water Containers

The portable water bag is a favorite for emergency water storage and has often been used for storage around homes or industrial locations until their time of need. Portable water bags are designed specifically for transportation and can be built in capacities up to five gallons (5 gal.).

  • Built In Handle 
  • Flat Bottom and Self Supporting
  • Ball Valve Fitting 
  • Cap
  • Foldable when Empty

These tanks are perfect for emergency storage and have been used with water conditioners to store drinking water for up to 5 years.

When not in use, bags can be laid flat and even folded for easy storage in containers, trunks, under seats, or in various other small storage locations.

Pick Up Truck Tanks

These tanks have become a favorite for water hauling, emergency water transportation, as well as various drinking water and gray water applications, especially around agricultural areas. In order to successfully keep these tanks in place, various harnesses and baffles may also be used to help with tank stabilization.

As with all our collapsible tanks, these units will feature a fitting that allows them to be hooked up to hoses, pumps, and other water transportation units.
