About Husky Portable Containment
About Husky Portable ContainmentSpill Containment & Portable Tanks
Husky Portable Containment was founded in December 2004 by Jay Claeys, who brought two decades of experience in the portable water tank industry to a new venture based in Skiatook, Oklahoma, beginning manufacturing and sales operations in February 2005. The company dedicated its earliest period primarily to product research, working to improve on existing portable tank designs used in rural firefighting and environmental containment.
A key breakthrough came from adding Easy-Lift handles to the portable liquid storage tank concept, an innovation Claeys has described as one of the ideas that put the company on the map and helped establish Husky as a leading innovator in rural firefighting water handling equipment. That early focus on practical, field-tested design has carried through the company's growth into two distinct divisions: Firefighting and Environmental Safety products.
Husky Portable Containment's Environmental Products division has become a leader in heavy-duty containment berms, including its patented Super Berm (U.S. Patent No. 9,243,415), which is widely utilized by the military. The company's current product line spans secondary spill containment berms, drive-over spill containment, washdown containment, berm liners, spill containment tanks, spill dikes, drain seals, and spill containment trays, and ChatMRO helps environmental and safety procurement teams match exact berm dimensions and containment volume to verified Husky stock.
