LPG Tanks & Vessels

Storage tanks, filling plant vessels and buried tanks for LPG distributors, autogas networks and industrial users.

LPG remains the workhorse fuel for industry, heating and autogas across our region, and its equipment market runs on two clocks: planned investments in filling plants and stations, and urgent replacements when a vessel ages out of inspection. We supply LPG storage tanks, filling plant vessels and buried tanks in the common capacity range, new or certified pre-owned, with the documentation that inspection bodies require, and we take aging vessels in trade.

What we supply

Above-ground LPG storage tanks

Horizontal cylindrical vessels for filling plants, industrial sites and distribution depots.

Buried and mounded tanks

Coated tanks for buried and mounded installation where regulations or site layout require.

Autogas and station vessels

Station-size tanks with valve and safety equipment fit for autogas installations.

Certified pre-owned LPG vessels

Inspected and pressure tested used vessels with compiled documentation, and trade-in options for your old tanks.

Need it faster than a fabrication slot?

Some of this equipment is available from stock, new or certified pre-owned. Ask for the current list before you commit to a long lead time.

Scope and approach

LPG vessels live under strict periodic inspection regimes. Our offers therefore lead with the paperwork: design code, test status and document file come first, because a cheap vessel that your inspection body rejects is not cheap.

For distributors renewing capacity, the trade-in route matters: we appraise your existing vessels, take them in against the new order and handle the logistics, which turns a disposal problem into purchasing power.

Frequently asked

Do your vessels come ready for periodic inspection?

Every unit ships with its document file: design documentation, test reports and certificates as applicable. For pre-owned vessels the current test status is stated in the offer, so you know exactly where the unit stands in its inspection cycle.

Can you take my old vessels when delivering new ones?

Yes. Trade-in appraisal is part of the offer when you want it, and we handle removal logistics.

Do you also supply LPG transport equipment?

Yes, LPG semi-trailers and bobtails are covered under Transport Equipment.

Renewing LPG capacity or a fleet?

New vessels, pre-owned units and trade-in of your old tanks, quoted together.
