The Husky Helicopter Water Tanks are engineered to provide a dependable portable water supply for wildland firefighting and remote emergency operations. Designed for transport by helicopter or truck, these rugged water shuttle tanks can be quickly deployed in remote locations to supply firefighters with water for suppression, backpack filling, or potable water applications. Every tank is manufactured using premium materials and is individually tested before shipment to ensure dependable field performance.
The 72-gallon and 134-gallon models feature a stable tetrahedron design that resists tipping during transport and while positioned on uneven terrain. Larger 240-gallon and 360-gallon models utilize a tapered round design with a large 4" fill port for rapid filling and easy tank access. Constructed from heavy-duty 40 oz. reinforced PVC, Husky Helicopter Water Tanks are also available in NSF 61-approved potable material for drinking water applications. A heavy-duty harness allows the tanks to be secured to trees on steep slopes, while optional field repair kits provide additional peace of mind in remote environments.
