Towable Storage Tanks – Engineered to Tow. Built to Last.
The Covertex Tow Tank is a high-performance towable storage tank engineered for demanding ocean and marine environments. Featuring a unique rigid aluminium bow section, the Tow Tank maintains its hydrodynamic shape under tow, delivering superior towing stability compared with conventional towable bladders. The result is safer, more predictable towing behind almost any vessel, even in ocean conditions.
Designed for oil spill response, hydrocarbon storage, vessel lightering, fuel transfer, military operations, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and emergency marine response, the Covertex Tow Tank is available in capacities from 5m³ to 50m³. Liftable models are available for rapid deployment, recovery, discharge, and transport, making them ideal wherever a robust towable storage tank is required.
