OTS Group specialises in the design and installation of bespoke fuel storage and distribution systems for distribution centres and haulage companies across the UK.

With the current volatility of fuel prices it’s more important now than ever that distribution and haulage companies have complete security and effective management of their fuel, ensuring that they retain control over their fuel costs.

Whether you want a brand new fuel storage system designed and installed or a new Fuel Management System added onto a pre-existing fuel storage & distribution system, OTS Group uses state-of-the-art technology and engineering to promote fuel security and fuel use efficiency, for example we can: 

  • Track vehicle and driver fuel usage 

  • Increase speed through the pump

  • Prevent over-fuelling with vehicle refuelling limits 

  • Prevent fuel theft and misuse with Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI)

  • Set stock alert warnings

With haulage and distribution, we know the importance of efficient refuelling to keep operations running smoothly. In fact, companies that have large fleets can benefit from even the smallest increases in speed through the pump as these can translate into significant cost savings. Using a combination of MultiServ™ and AVI technology, OTS can install up to 8 dispensing pumps per tank and help get your vehicles refuelled in no time flat. For more information, please visit the Fuel Management for Haulage page.

OTS Group don’t just cater for diesel storage solutions.

With the Net Zero target on the horizon and the distribution and haulage sector accounting for roughly 16% of annual CO2 emissions we feel that change is overdue. OTS Group is making the accessibility of greener fuels a priority and that’s why we can provide fuel storage solutions fit for HVO fuel, Hydrogen and EV charging. So, if you’re concerned with sustainability, we have you covered.

  • Our job is to understand exactly what you need. Our brief and site survey process considers EA compliance, Health & Safety and client concerns to help to guide you to the right fuel storage solution. From the initial brief and site survey, we produce a detailed proposal that includes CAD drawings of our suggested tank solution & images of recommended equipment.

  • OTS Group has invested in additional qualified staff and 3D CAD software to enhance our drawing capabilities, from initial site survey and client briefing, we are able to produce 3D conceptual designs that allow a clear understanding of how the fuelling facility looks and the impact on the available space. Our full “turn-key” solution includes Planning Applications as part of the design & planning process.

  • In addition to the manufacture of bunded steel tanks in our Gloucestershire factory, OTS Group’ full “turn-key” solution ensures that any Civil and Electrical Works required to prep the site are covered.

    All OTS Group tanks are designed and built to accord with the Control of Pollution Regulations which require a Design Life Expectancy of 20 years, and OFTEC OFS T200. We provide Conformity Certificates as standard practice.

  • We are tank delivery and installation specialists. When it’s time for installation we work hard to ensure optimal delivery and and installation of the tank, pipework and associated equipment, even in some of the most challenging of environments.

  • At OTS Group, we pride ourselves on service, and we know that a successful delivery isn’t just a ‘set & forget’ affair. That’s why we started TankCare™, an affiliate organisation that deals with all your fuel care and maintenance requirements. We are here to help, from initial installation through 20+ years of operation, to decommission and replacement when the time comes.
