storage in confined spaces
Modular VariTank components are designed for hand-carrying through doorways or other small openings for rapid bolt-together assembly in basements, tunnels, interior rooms and other hard-to-reach locations.
VariTanks provide low-cost fluid handling for permanent or standby service indoors and outdoors. In addition, VariTanks can be quickly disassembled for relocation or storage.
Installation Speed
A typical VariTank can be installed in a day by two workers using common hand tools. No special skills are required. Little or no ground preparation is needed. They can either be installed free-standing or anchor-bolted to new or existing concrete foundations.
Sizes
Standard Varitanks are available in sizes based on 3’6” wide by 6’3” or 8”0” high modular panels. Customized heights are also available.
Special Shapes
Virtually any shape utilizing right angles such as square, rectangle, “U”, “L”, “X”, etc. (see Custom Tanks) can be assembled from VariTank’s unique modular components. This capability is especially useful for installations with irregular shapes or with special flow requirements.
