Tank Maintenance & Repair

Ensuring that our vehicles and equipment are maintained to the highest levels of safety and compliance is important to us. At Suttons International, we have a rigorous inspection cycle in place to regulate this, with tanks being routinely inspected at 2.5 year intervals.

  • 2.5 years: Pneumatic test
  • 5 years: Hydraulic test

Not only do we ensure our fleet is 100% compliant, but we also take great care in the loading and discharging of products from our tanks. Each time we discharge a product and clean the tank, it is inspected for any signs of maintenance and repair being required. Any work required is acted upon immediately to ensure that we can get the tank back on the road as quickly as possible and with minimal disruption.

Suttons International is committed to strategic investment in our tank container fleet with the  introduction of over 1,000 tank containers a year. We continually assess our current fleet, refurbishing over 600 tank containers a year. This on-going program is set to see the full fleet updated to top specifications over the next 5 years to best serve our customers.
