Driving from A to B, fulfilling logistics, and maintaining operations across many industries. Indeed, tankers are part of our everyday lives – whether you’re in the tanker industry or not – as they make up a large percentage of vehicle users across the UK road network. In fact, if you’re a road user, it’s unlikely you’ll go a day without seeing at least one tanker. Because every hour, of every day, tankers travel up and down the country to transport fuel, deliver food materials, and complete various other operations.
Tankers represent a huge part of the UK’s logistics and operations – and therefore stand in a place of high importance in our country’s infrastructure. With this comes great responsibility in keeping tankers safe, efficient, economical – and profitable for the businesses that use them.
At TCL, we are proud to hold this responsibility – with a state-of-the-art tanker repairs workshop and mobile service. From severe accident damage to routine wear-and-tear maintenance, we ensure our customers’ tankers are the safest, most reliable and most cost-effective in the market. Of course, not only is this vital for our customers’ profitability, but it is also part of our commitment to safety across the UK road network.
In this article, we will explain how our repair function supports the UK tanker industry as a whole.

Supporting tankers with repairs across the UK
Renting a TCL tanker isn’t just signing a rental agreement. Instead, we make sure we support our customers throughout their rental period – with repairs, modification, inspection & testing and replacement parts & accessories.
We also provide comprehensive tanker repair, maintenance and modification services to the wider third party tanker network.
Most of this is operated out of our workshop in West Yorkshire – near Leeds. Customers can bring their tankers in, or we can arrange for collection.
