Ellip-T Poly Fire Fighting Tank

The Ellip-T™ fire fighting tank by UPF range from 1,000 to 5,000 gallons. Lighter than stainless steel or fiberglass, these poly fire tanks are the strongest non-metallic elliptical tanks available. In addition, each tank is non-corrosive, and we manufacture each poly fire fighting tank from UPF’s exclusive PT3™ plastic resin. Introduced to the fire industry over twenty years ago, the UPF elliptical tank immediately became the best-selling elliptical fire fighting tank in the industry.  Design tested and field-proven, the Ellip-T™ fire fighting tank is a reliable solution to your water supply needs. This maintenance-free tank is available unpainted, or with provisions allowing the tank to be wrapped with a stainless steel jacket.  

Offering various options, the UPF Ellip-T fire fighting tank can be designed to meet your department’s operational procedures.  For example, dumps may be rear, side-mounted, or both.  You can locate side-mounted dumps at the front, mid, or rear of the tank.  Optional foam poly fire tanks or rear storage compartments are also available, along with dozens of other options.  Each Elllip-T tank features the Poly-Tank® warranty and the exclusive Closed Curve™ baffle system that meets all applicable NFPA standards.  In addition, each of UPF’s facilities is ISO 9001 certified for quality, assuring a lifetime of reliable service.
