Description
Bolted Steel Tanks from ProMax Engineering offer one of the most advanced, modular, and cost-effective storage solutions for large-volume water and liquid containment. Designed for fast installation, easy transportation, and long-term durability, these tanks are widely used in commercial, industrial, agricultural, and municipal applications.
They are built from high-strength, factory-engineered steel panels that are bolted together on-site and sealed with premium-grade gasket materials to ensure a leak-proof and structurally sound tank.
Bolted Steel Tanks are ideal where large capacities, quick installation, and long service life are required.
Why Bolted Steel Tanks?
Unlike welded steel tanks that require heavy machinery and extended onsite fabrication, bolted tanks are manufactured in precision-engineered panels and assembled on location. This reduces cost, installation time, and site disruption.
They are ideal for remote areas, large storage projects, and customers seeking flexible, scalable tank systems.
Key Features
1. Modular Panel Design
The tank is built with prefabricated steel panels that are easily transported and assembled on-site, making it ideal for difficult-to-access locations.
2. High-Strength Steel Construction
Panels are made from galvanized or epoxy-coated steel, offering exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion and environmental stress.
3. Leak-Proof Sealing Technology
Panels are sealed using high-performance gaskets, sealants, and bolting systems that ensure zero leakage even under high hydrostatic pressure.
4. Quick, Cost-Efficient Installation
Bolted tanks can be installed in a fraction of the time required for welded or concrete tanks, dramatically minimizing downtime.
5. Fully Customizable
Choose diameter, height, capacity, roof type, lining options, fittings, ladders, and accessories to match your exact project needs.
6. Easy Maintenance & Repair
Individual panels can be replaced without dismantling the entire tank, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
