poly tanks for fire trucks

One of the main advantages of using poly tanks for fire trucks is their low weight, especially when compared with traditional materials such as stainless steel or aluminum. For example, poly tanks are about 30% lighter than similar metal tanks. The lightweight of tanks allows fire trucks to carry more water without exceeding the permissible load. Additionally to say, a fire truck equipped with a poly tank is able carry an additional 200-300 gallons of water. Thanks to this increased capacity, firefighters can stay at the place longer and deliver more water to the fire site, potentially reducing the number of trips required for refueling.

In addition to this, the low weight can also lead to fuel economy and less wear on the fire truck, which significantly reduces financial costs. It is also important to note that polyethylene tanks are very durable, they are  resistant to corrosion and can withstand the harsh operating conditions which can often encounter in firefighting without failing.
