What are Western Global fuel tanks used for?

The right type of tools and equipment can enhance your productivity and efficiency onsite – but only if they’re actually running. Without enough fuel, you can’t power equipment as and when you need it, leaving you high and dry while money slips down the drain.

It’s time to start preparing for the cold months ahead by stocking up on your fuel. Your current fueling method will likely depend on the project size, equipment needed and working environment, but our fuel tanks provide consistent, efficient solutions for all circumstances.

Winter ready: types of equipment that connect to Western Global’s fuel tanks

Winter means being ready for anything. From reduced daylight hours to hazardous roads and freezing temperatures, keeping on top of your fuel is more important than ever to ensure you keep things powered.

With Western Global, you don’t need to slow down operations in the winter. In fact, you’ll actually experience the opposite. Bulk fuel storage means increased productivity and efficiency – which leads to more savings and better outputs.

Our fuel tanks are compatible with any type of equipment or vehicle that runs on diesel or gasoline. Equipped with your chosen accessories, your tank can be dropped onsite and set up to get to work. Your fuel will be protected from the harsh weather conditions, and many of our tanks can be stacked to help keep frosty job sites clear.

We’ll list some of the equipment you can connect your Western Global tank to below, but nothing is off limits. If you have any questions about your project, speak to our team and we’ll find the ideal solution.

Stationary Equipment

As the days shorten and the cold starts settling, we become more dependent on stationary equipment like heaters, light towers and generators. Tough conditions require more power, especially on shorter and darker days when fuel theft is a common occurrence and security becomes even more of a priority.

Our tanks are compatible with a wide range of stationary equipment, including generators, heaters, pumps and air compressors.

Refueling Generators

Generators are a key piece of equipment – especially during the winter months. They help you stay up and running even during the harshest of conditions, lighting your job site and powering equipment. But what do you do if your generator runs dry, leading to unwanted downtime?

Our TransCube Global is the answer. Keeping this tank on site means having access to an uninterrupted source of energy, allowing you to quickly connect and get back to work in no time at all. It can integrate with different types of generators and provide that extra layer of certainty you need in high-risk conditions, extending run times from 24 hours to 7 days. This mighty tank can connect to up to three generators or diesel-powered equipment at once, ensuring that you can continue working at all costs.

Pumps

Dewatering pumps are intensive pieces of equipment that require a lot of fuel to run. And, when working in tough circumstances such as disaster relief, you need plenty of stock to power through. Relying on bulk fuel storage means prolonging the run time of your pump and keeping you up and running at all times, without the extra costs.

Diesel powered pumps are ideal for portability, as are Western Global fuel tanks. Put the two together and you’re equipped for the entirety of your project. You’ll have diesel stock on hand, ready to refuel as and when you need it, and can easily transport your tank with your pump from site to site. Many of our customers rely on our tanks to power their pumps, knowing that we’ll provide a trusted solution for their industry.

Heaters

Shorter days and colder temperatures mean more heating on site, which requires more fuel – something that can be hard to find in time at an affordable price if you’re not prepared. Go without and equipment may freeze, concrete won’t cure in time or employees fall ill from working in cold environments for long periods of time.

Our fuel tanks directly feed into large industrial heaters – up to three at a time with our TransCube – or slightly smaller heaters designed for short-term projects. Either way, you can operate for hours on end, keeping workers, materials and equipment warm enough to make it through the winter. You can see how our TransCube kept workers warm while repainting the Mackinac Bridge, making sure that everyone was safe from the cold as well as any drips or leaks.

They’re also easy to maintain throughout the winter – read more on our seasonal tips for fuel storage tank maintenance.
