Large Steel Oil Tank Questions
Open the questions that matter before ordering a large steel bunded tank.
What is a large steel bunded tank?
A large steel bunded tank is a higher-capacity steel oil tank with secondary containment. It is commonly chosen where robust construction and larger fuel storage are required.
When should I choose steel instead of plastic?
Steel may be preferred for more demanding sites, larger storage requirements, commercial-style use or where the customer wants a stronger steel construction rather than a standard plastic tank.
Are steel tanks heavier than plastic tanks?
Yes, steel tanks are typically heavier than plastic tanks. Always check the product weight and plan how the tank will be off-loaded and moved safely on site.
Do large steel tanks need customer off-load?
Many larger steel tanks require customer off-load or suitable lifting equipment. This can include a forklift, telehandler or another planned off-load method depending on the tank and delivery option.
Can large steel tanks be delivered by HIAB?
HIAB may be available on selected products or delivery routes, but it should be checked before ordering. HIAB off-load is still normally kerbside and does not include final positioning.
What should I check before ordering?
Check the tank capacity, dimensions, footprint, weight, base requirements, delivery access, off-load method and any fitted equipment or gauge options before placing your order.
Are large steel tanks suitable for domestic heating oil?
Yes, large steel tanks can be suitable for domestic heating oil where the site, capacity, access and installation requirements are appropriate. They are often chosen for larger or higher-use properties.
