Tanks used in the collection of Maple Sap and the production of Maple Syrup are usually smaller. Owner of Percheron Plastic, Matt Tanguay, talks about a variety of small sized tanks you're likely to use while collecting in a sugar bush. These are easy to haul on a trailer or ATV.
Check out our Horizontal Tank page for some of these smaller tanks.
Horizontal tanks will always be wider than they are tall. Because they are often transported, horizontal tanks usually have side-moulded "legs" to stabilize and support their base. Hoop sets are necessary in larger horizontal tanks to maintain their shape and fill weight, while simultaneously providing mounts to vehicle beds.
