What is the difference between transport and storage tanks ?
Fuel, diesel and non-vehicle diesel are hazardous products for which transport and storage must comply with strict regulations. All holders of this type of flammable and polluting liquid must be appropriately equipped. ALOREM proposes approved, functional and strong solutions that guarantee secure transport and storage.
The difference between transport and storage tanks
- Storage tanks
Storage tank are designed to fuel vehicle fleets. Designed with double steel walls, our range of container type tanks is strong and versatile. Depending on the model, tank storage capacity varies from 1400 to 80 000 liters. Storage tanks are designed to remain static (on a flat, concrete surface), however, they are easy to mvoe (when empty) to other sites using their lifting rings and fork passages.
- Transport tanks
Transport tanks are ADR approved, and can therefore be transported full on the public highway. These all terrain tanks are ideal for refuelling machinery or vehicles on work sites, or for supplying power generators. Coupled to a manual or battery powered pump, they are especially suited to off-grid locations. Transport tanks are easy to handle using their lifting rings and fork passages. Their storage capacity varies from 450 to 2980 litres.
Our storage and transport tanks share their versatility and strength over time. They can be used to store diesel, fuel oil or non-vehicle diesel. Some models are also suitable for storing AdBlue.
