FEATURES

Viably Reducing Transport Costs

Telemetry is used to automatically measure the amount of lpg within a storage tank so that the volume of each delivery can be increased; run outs and emergency deliveries can be eliminated; part load deliveries, order processing errors and manpower can be reduced; customer service can be improved and proactive delivery scheduling can be initiated.

Coping With Health & Safety Audits

Lp gas handling specialists are often approached by businesses who have been the subject of an unfavourable health and safety audit. It is invariably the storage of the gas cylinders that creates an issue for the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).
