TURTLE – PAC AIR CARGO TANKS ARE TRUSTED BECAUSE….

TURTLE-PAC pioneered in the mid 1980s, the unique skill and technology used today.

We haven’t stopped pioneering since, an ongoing R&D program ensures our leading edge is maintained. Every aspect of manufacture is geared towards exceptional reliability. New product samples are destruction tested and trialed in real life’s worst conditions before release into the market. The knowledge gained is applied throughout our production, to your benefit. Every aircraft tank is pressure tested, and seams are foam tested and inspected. Only after all tests and inspections are passed satisfactorily, is the tank issued a Quality Assurance and Acceptance Certificate.

TURTLE-PAC’S AIR CARGO TANKS FABRICS

Outer tanks are manufactured from a unique fabric developed for TURTLE-PAC. Consisting of an immensely strong nylon wave core which is dual side coated with PU for fuel and wear resistance.

Inner tanks nylon wave cored and PU coated used a single skin for our FERRY TANKS range.

Heavy duty even as single skin construction. But housed in the outer tank the combination of “tank in a tank” construction is superior to heavy old world rubber tanks. Also a lot lighter.

Tank are suited to: JET-A, JP-8, Diesel, Avgas, on request for Mo gas.

CONSTRUCTION – Electrofuse Welding, using precision dies, electronically fuses all seams. The seam’s strength equals the fabric strength, and is maintenance free. No glue or chemical bonding is used, as those techniques are prone to leaks.

TANKS PRESSURE RESISTANCE – Tanks are tested to 5 psi during quality control tests. Resist to 30 psi. Drop tested from 65 ft. (Aluminum ferry tanks only tested to 3.5 psi). TURTLE-PAC AIR CARGO TANKS will exceed the pressure resistance of aluminum ferry tanks typically by factor of ten.

CRASH RESISTANCE – TURTLE-PAC tanks are a collapsible structure and do not require ventilation, no vapors are contained in the tank to cause an explosion during crash or fire. Being a soft structure, the tank can and will alter shape under high “G” loads, which increases its puncture and burst resistance. Furthermore, the tanks self-wedge into the fuselage, gripping by friction. This reduces the load on the tie points considerably. TURTLE-PAC tanks have been used since 1991 and during this period not a single tank has failed, even though some aircraft made forced landings (due to causes not related to our tank!).

This combination of factors adds up to a far safer tank than aluminum tanks.

LIFE EXPECTANCY – In hard use environment as Papua New Guinea – Africa – Northern Australia – Alaska, around ten years.

AIR CARGO TANKS 160 – 238 – 300 – 400 – 500 – 529

Turtle-Pac Air Cargo Tanks are suited inside fuselage and tie downs meet high ‘G’ loads. Typically exceed metal drums crash resistance by 300%. As underslung cargo lifted by cargo net or by Turtle-Pac’s Helicopter Sling consisting of a separate ‘half tank’ base with lifting straps. If intention is to lift several tanks together as a bunch, then each tank should have separate cargo net or sling. If cargo net is used, it is important to secure hoses to top part of tank. Alternate use is as ground support tank for remote field operations.

HELIROLLDRUM 132 – 212 – 264

Australian Made

An extremely tough and convenient tank to fly in supplies to remote sites or for emergency supplies. Filled HeliRollDrum can be rolled safely out of an aircraft onto the ground. Tough enough to take the drop without any roll down planks. But will last longer if two roll down planks are used for softer landing. Empty tanks take very little space and light, enhancing the aircraft’s capability for different return cargo.

HeliRollDrum 132 full fits a pallet and 2 x fits the tray of a one ton truck. Fourteen full 132 fits into a 20 ft shipping container for secure ground storage. Full HeliRollDrums are easily rolled by one person on level ground short distances.

For underslung cargo, Turtle-Pac Helicopter Sling pulls over a filled HeliRollDrum as a cap, then a half roll of the tank will position the lift sling for hook up. On landing the tank simply rolled out of the sling for re-use. Number of HeliRollDrums can be lifted as a bunch by heavy lift helicopters.

Individual sling or cargo net for each tank is recommended.
