Tank Design & Flexibility
We design every Poly-Tank®III to the customer’s specifications and the latest NFPA standards. We are truly custom, with great flexibility in tank design, while maintaining precise dimensional accuracy and meeting exact locations for all options and features.
Manufacturing
UPF employs skilled fabricators at three facilities in Massachusetts, Florida and Wisconsin.
Delivery
We deliver from one of our three factory locations. Because of the number of tanks shipped weekly, most deliveries are on dedicated flatbed trucks.
Modifications
UPF tanks can be modified at any time after the tank has been in service to add sleeves, fittings, and other features, usually at your location.
Warranty/Services
UPF dispatches service reps from four locations within the U.S. UPF’s Transferable Lifetime Warranty has made UPF the brand you can trust.
