HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) Fuel Tankers are used by the Army to provide transport capabilities for re-supply of combat vehicles and weapons systems. More specifically, the M978 2500 Gallon HEMTT Fuel Tanker is used to provide a rapidly deployable mobile fueling station for the Army. When dealing with a primary vessel containing such a large capacity of fuel, Spill Containment should be a primary consideration for the safety of personnel and the environment. Whether for deployment or for storage on base, Containment Corp provides several spill containment systems to contain M978 2500 Gallon HEMTT Fuel Tankers:

Rapid Deploying Spill Containment Systems for HEMTT Fuel Tankers

Our standard Stinger Berm size for containing HEMTT Fuel Tankers is 12′ x 36′ x 1’H. Stinger Berms are constructed of XR-5 fabric material. XR-5 is highly chemical resistant and extremely puncture and tear resistant. Stinger Berms are considered soft systems cause the fabric construction allows it to be folded up and stored or deployed as needed. Below are two 12′ x 36′ x 1’H Stinger Berm options we recommend for a rapid deploying Spill Containment System for HEMTT Fuel Tankers:

Snap-Foam Stinger Berm Spill Containment System for HEMTT Fuel Tankers

The Snap-Foam Stinger Berm incorporates foam walls with heavy duty connectors. End walls utilize a two-way air-relief that allows the wall to lower and raise automatically for un-manned entry and exit.

Snap-Up Stinger Berm Spill Containment System for HEMTT Fuel Tankers

The Snap-Up Stinger Berm incorporates struts surrounding the exterior wall of the system. Struts can be easily snapped into place as needed. For entry and exit, users unsnap the struts on either end wall of the system.
