Why Choose Onsite Fuel Management for Trades and Farming?
Farms and trades-based businesses face a very different set of challenges when it comes to managing fuel:
- Fuel is a significant overhead cost, and prices can change often.
- Travelling to off-site fuel stations wastes valuable time.
- Refuelling delays slow down harvests, construction projects, or daily service calls.
- Storing fuel onsite can have security risks when done incorrectly.
- Environmental and emissions regulations are important to comply with.
Our complete fuel management packages go beyond supplying fuel, and also enhance your operational efficiency and secure your assets.
Cost Savings with Wholesale Fuel Purchases
For those in the trade and farming sectors, fuel costs can be a significant portion of your overheads. Our systems help you cut costs by:
- Allowing bulk, wholesale fuel purchases at lower prices than retail.
- Reducing dependency on external fuel providers with unstable prices.
- Reducing travel costs and downtime caused by refuelling trips.
- Providing accurate reporting to cut waste and misuse.
Streamlined Digital Fuel Monitoring
Managing fuel for various vehicles, tractors, or equipment across a farm or job site can be challenging. That’s where our digital fuel management systems come in:
- Access to accurate data on fuel consumption, tank levels, and individual vehicle usage.
- Identify inefficiencies, adjust fuel schedules, and prevent waste.
- Receive automatic refuelling alerts, so your operations won’t be delayed by fuel shortages.
Increase Efficiency with Onsite Refuelling
Time spent driving off-site to refuel adds up, especially during busy harvest seasons or large-scale construction projects. Our onsite fuel storage and dispensing systems mean:
- Time isn’t wasted leaving your site for refuelling.
- Vehicles and machinery operate without unnecessary interruptions.
- Bunded tanks provide secure, leak-proof storage to meet industry standards.
Strong Fuel Security
Storing large quantities of fuel onsite brings added security concerns, but our bunded fuel tanks and monitoring systems provide peace of mind:
- Tanks that are designed to resist leaks, theft, or unauthorised access.
- Digital monitoring that gives full visibility over your fuel usage.
- Know who accessed the fuel, when, and how much was dispensed with data tags and vehicle recognition technology.
Eco-Friendly Options for Sustainable Fuel Operations
As environmental regulations evolve, it’s crucial for businesses in farming and trades to consider their impact. Fueltek helps you adapt with
- Bunded fuel tanks that support sustainable fuel options such as HVO and GTL.
- AdBlue tanks and pumps for diesel-powered machinery
- Systems designed to help you reduce your carbon footprint while staying compliant with environmental standards.
