The classic beauty of the traditional stainless steel elliptical tanker is a fast growing segment of the fire service. Offered by United Plastic Fabricating, Inc., the innovative company that introduced the PolyTank, the Ellipse polypropylene elliptical tank is designed and manufactured exclusively for the fire service. Lighter than stainless steel or fiberglass tanks, the Ellipse features UPFs lifetime warranty and the exclusive Closed Curve baffle system that meets all applicable NFPA standards. Introduced to the fire service over ten years ago, the UPF Ellipse immediately became the best selling elliptical water tank in the fire service. Design tested and field proven, the Ellipse is a reliable solution to your water supply needs and is available unpainted, painted or wrapped with a stainless steel jacket. Offering a variety of options, the Ellipse can be designed to meet your departments operational procedures. For example, dumps may be rear, side mounted or both. Side mounted dumps can be located at the front, mid or rear of the tank. Unique optional foam cells or rear storage compartments are also available along with dozens of other options. UPFs facilities are all ISO 9001:2000 accredited for quality, assuring a lifetime of reliable service.
