Collective vertical hydraulic tank with adjustable footprint

Abstract

A collective vertical tank has a plurality of tanks and stabilizing and weight-distributing connectors. The connectors are adjustable to provide an adjustable footprint of the collective tank. A stabilizing and weight-distributing connector for vertical hydraulic tanks includes a first connecting member attached to a first vertical tank and extending away therefrom, and a second connecting member attached to a second vertical tank and extending away therefrom. The second connecting member defines a central passage adapted to receive the first connecting member therein. A locking mechanism secures the first connecting member within the second connecting member.

1 . A vertical tank array comprising:
 a plurality of vertical tanks arranged with respect to one another to form a geometric configuration wherein each vertical tank has at least one pivotable connecting member extending therefrom wherein one-half of the pivotable connecting member is a first connector terminating in a male end and the other one-half of the pivotable connecting members is a second connector terminating in a female end such that each pivotable connecting member of a vertical tank can be connected to a pivotable connecting member of an adjacent vertical tank; and   a locking mechanism for securing each first connector to a corresponding second connector.
