NEW PAINT OR NEW TANKS?

With a hire business it is easy keep old equipment, this might be good for the balance sheet, but without reinvesting in new equipment how does a company move forward. At the start of 2011 we took the decision to embark on a four year programme to change our entire hire fleet. With the ever increasing cost of fuel, we looked at our hire fleet, and took the decision to have tanks manufactured to sizes that minimise transportation costs. Our designs include 100,000 litre hire tanks, transported on a standard flat trailer. For year one (2011), our investment was £600,000. A further investment of £500,000 per year is planned over the next three years. Whilst our competitors continue to repaint their old tanks, some of which could be 30 years old, we are investing in the most up to date fleet of industrial storage tanks for hire in the UK.

NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR HIRE FLEET

We are going through a major investment programme and these are some of the new additions we have had manufactured in 2011. 11 no. 100,000 litre mild steel, horizontal tanks (further tanks on order). 3 no. 36,000 litre double skin fuel banks. 17 no. 80,000 litre mild steel, dish bottom, vertical tanks. If you cannot see a tank to meet your requirements on our website, give us a call, we may build to order.

NEW BUILDING, NEW STAFF

We are about to go forward with a new twin bay workshop facility and will be looking for welder fabricators, painters and yard personnel to complement our existing work force.
