New fire-protected tanks from Western Global

Western Global has launched a range of fire-protected fuel storage tanks – FirePro – designed to provide protection and compliance for permanent and temporary use.

The new tanks comprise the FPT500, FPT1000 and FPT2000, with capacities from 500 to 2,026 US gallons (1,892.71 to 7,680.60 litres).

Designed for the North American regulatory markets, the tanks are fire-rated and insulated as well as ballistic- and impact-resistant, and come with US UL2085 certification and California Air Resources Board (CARB) approval, as well as compliance with NFPA 30 and 30A standards.

The tanks are designed for applications including on-site fleet refueling, fuel islands, and providing extended runtime for generators, pumps and heaters.

They have four-way fork pockets for transport, a lockable equipment cabinet to store secure fuel, ports and dispensing equipment, and the two smaller tanks are stackable up to two-high when empty.

“FirePro tanks represent a significant step forward in safety and versatility for our customers,” said Ben Inkrott, director of growth at Western Global.

“By combining UL2085-certified protection with the turnkey convenience our customers expect, we’ve created a space-saving, portable solution that excels in highly regulated sites and critical remote jobsites alike.”
