Portable tank
Westeel has introduced the Road Vault, the first North American portable service tank to comply with new, more stringent government regulations for transporting dangerous goods.
The regulations apply to all portable service tanks over 100 imperial gallons (455 litres) used to transport flammable liquids such as gasoline over public roads.
The main difference is the thickness of the steel. The Road Vault has 12-gauge steel. It has a fusible plug-style emergency vent that releases combustible gases before they become a danger. There is also a restraining bracket that prevents tank and vehicle damage.
