Tank Hire

Why Hire a Tank Instead of Buying?

Hiring a tank can be a practical option where storage is needed quickly, temporarily, or without the cost of a permanent asset.

  • Lower capital cost for temporary sites, projects, or interim storage needs

  • Flexibility to scale capacity up or down without long-term commitment

  • Rapid deployment while waiting for a new tank to be manufactured

Our Tank Hire Fleet

We supply a wide range of above-ground storage tanks for hire, designed to suit different site conditions, applications, and compliance requirements.

Our hire range includes:

Fully bunded refuelling systems ideal for fleet depots, transport yards, and commercial operations. Suitable for diesel, HVO, and other fuels. Supplied with pumps, gauges, and dispensing equipment for a complete plug-and-play solution.

  • SecuriTank™ for High-Risk Areas

Designed for secure fuel storage in sensitive or high-risk locations. Includes additional anti-tamper features and heavy-duty construction for added protection.

Compact and versatile tanks for drop-in fuels and temporary applications, including HVO. Quick to deploy and easy to integrate into existing systems.

  • Bowsers for Site and Highway

Mobile fuel storage and dispensing units for on-site refuelling or highway maintenance operations. Available in a range of sizes and configurations.

Specialist storage solutions for landfill and environmental management applications. Built for durability and full compliance with environmental regulations.

Each tank is built with full compliance in mind:

  • OFS/T200 certification (which includes bund)

  • 100% bunded design

  • Routine maintenance and inspections during hire

OTS is currently expanding its hire tank fleet, increasing the range of tank types and capacities available for deployment across the UK. This expansion means shorter lead times for a wider range of hire requirements, and greater availability for clients managing multiple sites or longer-term hire arrangements.

Bunded Steel Hire Tanks vs Polyethylene Hire Tanks

OTS supplies both bunded steel hire tanks and polyethylene hire tanks, with the right option depending on the site, capacity, application, and length of hire.

Bunded steel hire tanks are typically suited to larger storage requirements, longer hire periods, and more demanding operational environments. They provide robust temporary capacity for fuel, HVO, AdBlue, leachate, and other bulk liquids, and can be supplied with pumps, gauges, fuel management systems, and supporting equipment where needed.

Polyethylene hire tanks are often a practical choice where a smaller, quick-turnaround storage solution is needed. Their compact, self-contained design makes them well suited to sites with limited space, remote locations, or short-term projects where simple deployment is the priority.

If you are unsure which option is most suitable, OTS can advise based on your required capacity, stored product, site layout, and how long the hire tank is needed.
