Knowing how quickly water freezes in cold climates, Northwest Flattanks recently introduced another great new product, an insulated Flattank design with three-inch foam insulation 20.5 R-value all around the tank. Fabricated to withstand the coldest conditions, this new design is giving drilling professionals the ability to drill year-round. The heated Flattank is regulated with thermostat control and available in any gallon size! Currently, the new Flattank design is keeping water from freezing at a drill site just north of Nome, Alaska, with great success! When asked how the Flattank was working out at the site, the drill site operator said, Your Flattank truck is hard at work...It’s been below freezing for the last month now and the truck is working great with the new insulated body. No issues. Thanks again for the help and for a great truck! Look for the upcoming enclosed heated van body which will cover Northwest Flattanks.
