Poly Tanks
For the storage of acidic and caustic chemicals, our rigorously tested HDPE & XLPE poly tanks deliver exceptionally safe and reliable containment. A poly tank is a polyethylene storage container engineered to safely contain acidic, caustic, and hazardous liquids in industrial and environmental applications. Whether you need a poly tank for short-term chemical storage or long-term industrial use, these tanks provide the best protection against breaks, cracks, spills, clean-up costs, and EPA fines.
Poly Cube
Our most durable container for water, caustic or acidic material, and certain chemical storage.
Our Poly Cubes Provide:
- Up to 6,300 gallons of liquid storage
- Heavy duty cross-linked polyethylene with an antioxidant OR-1000 liner for extra durability against aggressive oxidation effects and chemical attack
- Reinforced design with a steel exoskeleton cage and Roll-Off Understructure for ease of delivery, set up,and protection of the XLPE tank
Uses:
- Environmental remediation
- Industrial applications across petroleum and chemical refineries
- Bulk storage for manufacturing and wastewater treatment plants
Poly Tank
Our high-density cross-linked polyethylene tanks are designed for storing hazardous and non-hazardous materials safely.
Our upright poly storage tanks are made from high density polyethylene for extra durability and safety. With a tank capacity of up to 5,050 gallons, these vertical tanks are well-suited for storing certain chemicals, water, and other fluids. They are not recommended for low flash point products or hydrocarbon-based compound materials that have a similar makeup to polyethylene. Fuels and solvents can degrade the polyethylene.
Our Poly Tanks Provide:
- Up to 5,050 gallons of liquid and chemical storage
- High-density cross-linked polyethylene for extra durability
- Lightweight construction for easy portability and installation
Uses:
- Environmental remediation
- Storage of industrial chemicals across manufacturing and construction projects
- Containment of fluids for environmental and industrial use where space is limited

What is a poly tank?
A poly tank is a storage container made from polyethylene, typically high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). Poly tanks are engineered to safely store acidic, caustic, hazardous, and non-hazardous liquids in industrial and environmental applications. Their chemical-resistant construction makes them a preferred alternative to steel tanks when handling corrosive materials.
What is the difference between a poly cube and an upright poly tank?
A poly cube is a rectangular poly tank reinforced with a steel exoskeleton cage and roll-off understructure, offering up to 6,300 gallons of capacity and easy delivery via roll-off truck. An upright poly tank is a vertical, freestanding container with up to 5,050 gallons of capacity, designed for sites where a smaller footprint is needed. Both are made from cross-linked polyethylene, but poly cubes include an additional chemical barrier inner liner for enhanced durability against aggressive chemicals.
What chemicals can be stored in a poly tank?
Poly tanks are designed to safely store a wide range of acidic and caustic chemicals, water, and other non-hazardous fluids. However, poly tanks are not recommended for low flash point products, fuels, solvents, or hydrocarbon-based compounds that have a similar molecular makeup to polyethylene, as these materials can degrade the tank over time. Contact our team to confirm compatibility with your specific chemical storage needs.
Why rent a poly tank instead of buying one?
Renting a poly tank eliminates the upfront capital expense of purchasing equipment, and removes the burden of long-term maintenance, storage, and compliance testing. For temporary projects like environmental remediation, construction dewatering, or short-term chemical storage, a poly tank rental provides the containment you need without the overhead. Ironclad handles delivery, setup, and pickup so your team can focus on the job.
What industries use poly tank rentals?
Poly tank rentals are commonly used across environmental remediation, chemical manufacturing, petroleum and chemical refineries, oil and gas exploration, construction, and wastewater treatment. Any industry that requires temporary, safe containment of hazardous or non-hazardous liquids can benefit from renting a poly tank.
Are poly tanks compliant with EPA regulations?
Yes. Ironclad's poly tanks are rigorously tested and designed to meet containment standards that help prevent spills, leaks, and environmental contamination. Proper use of a poly tank supports compliance with EPA regulations and helps avoid costly fines associated with improper chemical storage. Our team can help you determine the right containment setup to meet your project's regulatory requirements.
How are poly tank rentals delivered and set up?
Ironclad manages the full process. Our poly cubes are equipped with a roll-off understructure for streamlined delivery and setup, while our upright poly tanks are lightweight enough for easy transport and installation on site. We deliver the equipment, set it up, and pick it up after job completion, ensuring the poly tank is in optimal condition throughout your rental period.
