Collapsible Tanks

Flexible and compact, pillow tanks are collapsible bladders available in a wide range of sizes. They can safely store water, oil, and select types of fuel. Fabric construction varies based on the intended use, ensuring compatibility and performance in demanding environments. Built using advanced vulcanizing and heat-welding techniques, our tanks deliver strength, reliability, and leak resistance. Their low-profile design fits in tight or low-clearance spaces where traditional rigid tanks won’t. These tanks serve a wide range of applications. Municipalities often deploy Pillow tanks to store collected rainwater for non-potable services such as landscape irrigation, fire suppression, or even limited public use. By maintaining a local reserve, cities can reduce water system strain, cut operational costs, and improve response times for emergency and seasonal needs.

Clarion Municipal supplies open-top onion tanks designed for temporary storage of water and other compatible liquids. Each tank includes self-rising walls for rapid deployment and easy-access fittings for efficient draining. Depending on the intended use, tanks are built with either heavy-duty PVC or potable-safe Elvaloy. Available in low- and high-wall configurations, onion tanks adapt to a variety of space constraints. Accessories include protective covers and ground cloths to safeguard the tank base and contents. While ideal for emergency water storage, onion tanks are also used as decontamination basins or chemical mixing tanks. Parks and Recreation teams often rely on these collapsible tanks to temporarily store water from fountains and small pools during routine maintenance or repair operations in public spaces.

Frame Tanks combine structural strength with flexible storage in a portable, easy-to-deploy design. A hinged outer frame, made from either aluminum or steel, forms a durable base that can support thousands of gallons of liquid. The interior liner, attached securely with rope, contains water, chemicals, or other compatible liquids. Liners are available in multiple fabric options, including NSF 61 and FDA-approved materials for potable water. When not in use, the tank folds flat for compact storage and efficient transport.

Emergency Management teams and first responders often deploy frame tanks during critical operations. Fire departments rely on them for temporary water storage in areas lacking hydrant access. In disaster recovery scenarios, these folding tanks hold large volumes of potable water for community distribution when municipal systems are down.
