Need an immediate solution to your fuel storage dilemma? Try tank hire.
If you’re reading this, the chances are that you are looking for a solution to your fuel storage problem. Whether you’re trying to replace a fuel storage system that has come to the end of its lifespan, increase fuel storage capacity at an existing facility, or you’re looking to supply fuel at temporary or mobile sites, the friction that we are currently experiencing in the global supply chain could be getting in your way.
It’s no secret that industries are struggling to keep up with post COVID-19 demand and the fuel industry is no exception. Whilst this demand represents a healthy regrowth of the market, the shortages of raw materials, including steel, are resulting in big delays for project completion.
Currently, design and installation lead times for fuel storage tanks have reached an average of 5 months across the UK, and unfortunately, long wait times can become an expensive inconvenience, with leaking or damaged tanks leading to hefty fuel losses and costly clean-ups.
Whilst there is no quick fix for supply shortages, fortunately OTS offer a short-term solution to providing fully compliant fuel storage that can be delivered quickly and efficiently.
Our hire tanks provide a cost-effective stopgap storage solution while you wait on fuel tank replacements. As design & build lead times vary from project to project, our hire tanks can be loaned on a short or long-term basis, for as little as £50 a week!
With a fleet of over 50 hire tanks, we also provide a range of storage capacities, from 1,000L right up to 100,000L, all bunded.
Tanks available for hire include:
● All our steel hire tanks come with SecuriTank™ secure steel cabinets and lockable roller shutter doors, and can be fitted with an optional fuel monitoring system to help prevent and deter fuel theft on request. This additional security is particularly useful in high-risk areas, including rural and commercial sites.
● Our polyethylene drop-in tanks offer quick-turnaround refuelling and fuel storage solutions from 1,000L to 10,000L. These tanks boast a secure bunded tank with a lockable distribution cabinet which houses the fuel dispensing nozzle. These tanks are available for both traditional and sustainable fuels such as HVO.
● We also offer hireable leachate tanks, ranging from 50L to 100,000L. Should you need it, we can also offer a removal and disposal service for these tanks so that your leachate can be dealt with promptly and correctly.
Delays in tank design and installation are an unavoidable inconvenience but they needn’t become a major issue for your business. Our hire tanks offer the perfect stopgap solution for any business facing long waits for tank repairs or replacements, ensuring the safe and secure storage of your fuel and other liquids.
OTS are proud to offer a versatile range of high-quality hire tanks, suitable for storing traditional and sustainable fuels, lubricants, water, oils and more.
