Haulier expands tank refurbishment service
A●
GLOBAL logistics firm based in Widnes that refurbished more than 120 tank containers since bringing the work in-house is now offering the service to customers.
Suttons International said it made the move in response to international demand and to revamp its fleet.
The service ranges from minor repairs to full tank refurbishments and has completed work on more than 120 units in under a year.
John Sutton, Suttons Group chief executive, said: “The new custom-built workshop helps us to keep the fleet up to the high standards our customers expect and is a continuation of our plan.
“Before any refurbishments take place a thorough inspection of the tank is carried out to establish current condition. If a repair is needed an estimate is raised of the likely time and cost to bring it up to standard.
“The specialist team is able to complete around 12 tanks a long-term investment month and it’s paying dividends in terms of smartening up the fleet at a competitive price.
“We have always offered a cleaning service to customers but offering full tank refurbishment further increases the condition of the fleet and shows our commitment to the global market.”
Suttons International operates a growing fleet, transporting more than 9,000 tank containers around the globe, focused on the bulk chemical and gas sectors with key business centres in New Jersey, Houston, Widnes, Antwerp, Ludwigshafen, Kuantan, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo and Khobar.
