The present invention is directed to a portable storage and supply tank of industrial size for the storage and dispensing of various fluids including those containing potentially environmentally and/or health hazardous components wherein the fluid storage tank is permanently mounted to its own trailer on its bottom surface to eliminate the need for the laborious, time consuming and potentially dangerous processes required to mount and dismount the prior art tanks onto the flatbed haulers. The use of these wheeled storage tanks therefore eliminates the need to mount and dismount the tanks onto and off wheeled flatbeds by chains or other laborious and potentially dangerous fastening means and vastly reduces the manpower and man hours associated with these processes and the need for additional specialized machinery to aid in the mounting and dismounting process. The ease of installation and removal associated with the wheeled, fluid storage tanks also helps to dramatically reduce the trucking and transport costs; dramatically reduce driver exposure time on highway and location, reduced trip and slip hazards and reduce or eliminate environmental spill hazards.
