GENERAL INFORMATION
Historically, flexible tanks have been used to hold fuel and water for military applications. With the development of lightweight chemical resistant fabrics these tanks are now available for liquid fertilizer, diesel fuel and irrigation water.  GTA has built flexible tanks for over 25 years
GTA Trailer tanks can be attached to almost any flatbed trailers that have stake-pockets. The Trailer Tanks design has been road tested to 55 mph and are extremely durable. GTA Trailer Tanks are generally 3,000 or 5,000 gallon and supplied with 3” webbing tie-downs, ratchet tie-downs and detailed instructions. GTA Tanks can be used with a spray for fertilizer, herbicide or water for dust control. They may also be used on the ground as static tanks. On trailers they can be gravity drained in less than 20 minutes and rolled up for storage in 10 minutes.
The flexible tank can be left in place year round or folded and used on a seasonal basis. A quick payback is possible when farmers take advantage of “off season” pricing and bulk delivery of fertilizers
GTA Tanks may be placed in an excavated depression in the ground or in a walled area built with cinder blocks or similar.  Fertilizer and diesel tanks generally require a contained system where a spill can potentially reach the ground water table.

EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES
The SMFT is a collapsible fabric tank used to transport, store and dispense drinking water into areas where normal water access is not available. The tanks are constructed of elastomeric coated multi-ply fabric or multi-ply cord. The tanks are transported on semi-trailers when completely full or collapsed and rolled. When not in use, the tank may be rolled and stored.
Filler/Discharge Assembly The filler/discharge assembly is a 4-inch gate valve and a flanged casting, with a shutoff valve and pressure gauge clamped inside the tank. The open end has a 4-inch male quick-disconnect coupling half, for connecting suction hose, and a chained dust cap.
Pressure Gauge A low pressure gauge, mounted on the filler/discharge assembly, monitors tank pressure during filling and use. It is a sensitive and accurate gauge that monitors pressures between 0-10 psi, with a nominal reading between 4-6 psi. It is installed with an adapter (ball valve) that allows pressure to the gauge to be shut off when not in use. Inspection Plate An inspection plate is located on the forward, top center end of the tank. It provides access to enter and clean or dry the inside of the tank. Bleed Valve A bleed valve is located on the top center of the tank, which is used to release air pressure during filling.
EQUIPMENT USED WITH THE TANK
Tie-Down Assembly The tie-down assembly consists of 4-inch wide straps with sleeves and a winch that mounts in trailer stake pockets. Using the take up mechanism and applying tension to the straps, the winch hook is secured to the bottom of the stake pocket and minimizes tank movement during transport.
Protective Flatbed Cloth with Lifting Handles The cloth provides a protective barrier between the tank and the semi-trailer flat bed during transportation. When rolled with tank, it provides four lifting handles to be used with a mechanical lift for moving the tank.
