Dump Tank

Professional Overhead Dump Tank for Instant Drop Special Effects

The Dump Tank is a heavy-duty, truss-mounted special effects rig engineered to deliver high-impact overhead drops on cue. Built specifically for rapid, clean release mechanism operation, this industrial-grade tank mounts securely above your stage or set to drop massive volumes of materials instantly onto talent, props, or staging areas.

Highly Versatile Drop Mechanism for Liquids, Gunge, and More

Unlike single-purpose release rigs, this system features a highly adaptable bucket and release architecture designed to safely hold and dump a wide variety of production materials. Whether you are staging a classic messy gameshow stunt or a stylized cinematic sequence, the tank delivers absolute reliability when running the big cue. Our professional dump tank hire is highly versatile and:

• Can be used with water for dramatic tidal splash shots or localized downpour gushes

• Can be filled with gunge, slimes, and gels for children’s television, comedy sketches, and gameshow stunts

• Can be packed with balloons, plastic balls, or confetti for celebratory drops, live event reveals, and parties

• Operates smoothly to provide a sudden, uniform drop pattern that maximizes on-screen visual impact
