The UCO tank behind a restaurant should be built like it matters.

Built from operator requests

It did not come from a catalogue.

It came from two years of taking apart the tanks our customers were already running, and from the operators themselves telling us what they needed changed.

Operators cannot tell when a tank is full

Oil is visible at the grate through the lid opening.

Tanks spill when someone keeps pouring

An elevated lock channel gives an inch of freeboard above the grate.

Every weld seam is a potential leak point

A three piece body: one wrapped sheet and two ends.

Casters need to come on and off in the field

Fabricated quick release caster brackets.

Oil theft and unauthorised dumping

The grate locks, not the lid: quarter inch plate with a customer specified pin lock, so nothing can be pumped out through it.

Mixed fleets need one set of spare parts

Common lid, grate, hinges and lock across all five sizes.

The V3 series

Five capacities, one platform.

Every capacity shares a common lid assembly. Certified fabrication drawings are available for each size on request.

Where they come from

Every tank is built in Bakersfield, California, start to finish.

Replacement parts, design changes and rush units come off the same floor as the original, because none of it moves out of town. Every unit is water leak tested before it is coated and before it ships.
