TransCube Fuel Tank Review

The business where I function required to acquire in addition to lease a number of fuel containers of about 250 to 1000 gallons (or 1000 to 4500 litres). That appears basic sufficient. There are plenty of fuel tank producers constructing several designs of gas storage tanks. Regrettably our requirements were very stringent and with a lengthy listing of "needs to haves" the checklist of appropriate storage tanks quickly diminished; the TransCube line of gas containers, and also especially versions 10TCG, 20TCG, 30TCG, and 50TCG were the just one to completely meet our requirements.

Our main task is pipe building and construction. Basically, this indicates that we are always on the move adhering to the progression of the pipelines in Alberta, Canada. It's a rough and tumble setting to claim the least, and tools that isn't "overbuilt" is rapidly eliminated.

The list of requirements for mobile gas storage tanks was as follows. (1) double walled (2) legal to be moved full (3) capacity to place an electrical pump (4) gas theft deterrence (5) portable with crane as well as forklift.

In my search I learned that some single walled gas storage tanks are undoubtedly legally easily transportable when full. We would certainly have thought about that as a choice as they are obviously cheaper, however our client has a green effort that called for dual walled storage tanks. Fortunately the Transcubes are double walled and also Deliver Canada Approved and though I really did not research study what the significance of it is, it likewise carries UL qualification.

The TransCubes that we leased to be mobile were outfitted with 12 volt DC pumps that would allow the battery of a pickup truck to power the pump with auto shutoff nozzle. We bought some 10TCG containers to plumb directly right into our portable light towers in our camp areas, and also we also purchased some 20TCG, 30TCG, and 50TCG containers to both supply our camp generators with fuel as well as also power a 120 volt pump developed right into the TransCube gas containers to fuel trucks and also other equipment in our lawn. Best to learn the lubricant solutions to save more money and time.

Though we haven't experienced any type of fuel burglary issues just recently, it has been an issue in the past on our sites with unsupervised containers. To combat gas theft, TransCube containers have a lid that is about 2 feet square. Beneath the cover is where the fuel pump as well as hose/nozzle, gas level scale, filling up port, and all of the numerous decline tubes are located. When brought down into the closed placement, there is a spot simply huge sufficient for a common lock, however tight enough to not allow bolt cutters accessibility.

Ultimately, the Transcubes have fork pockets on all 4 sides in addition to 4 crane training points which can be made use of when loaded with fuel. The included benefit is the lifting points are created to enable a second container to sit on top of it for transportation or if storage area is restricted.
