The core element in our business from which all other activities grew:
Our fleet is upgraded year on year to ensure our customers and drivers are able to benefit from the latest safety enhancements whilst offering maximum payload thus reducing £s per tonne delivery cost.
The current tanker fleet stands at over sixty tankers; predominantly single compartment insulated general purpose (GP) tankers with some non-insulated (high-payload) tankers and also a few multi-compartment tankers. The road tanker barrel fleet is a very modern and up-to-date fleet that is constantly added to and upgraded. During 2007 we currently have two replacement tanks on order (37,500 litre capacity).
The vehicle fleet is made up of a combination of Scania and Volvo tractor units which have been selected for their proven performance and excellent reputation. During 2007 one third of the fleet will be renewed to the Euro 4 emissions standard.
All our vehicles have seat belts fitted and operate on "Road Friendly" air suspension to take advantage of higher operating weights. The vehicles have a range of discharge equipment tailored to a combination of normal duty, flexibility and payload delivery. We are able to offer either tanker pump or vehicle compressor delivery.
Our current fleet stands at forty tractive units all capable of operating at up to forty-four tonnes GVW in our simple but clean livery and can be seen on the roads throughout the UK.
