W All the tankers are handmade using a unique layering process of the fabric and the resin to give it its strength, resulting in a robust, no flexing quality product In the 1960, Polyglas commenced manufacturing with www.farmingmonthly.co.uk fiberglass, their experience in tank building and the knowledge of the requirements of the industry grew, leading to the development and launch in 1970s of a 3,000lte lightweight tanker, which at the time was seen as the largest in the market. All the tankers are handmade using a unique layering process of the fabric and the resin to give it its strength, resulting in a robust, no flexing quality product. The interior of the tankers include baffle mounting and a honeycomb structure both of which are used within the aerospace industry, providing a light and stiff finish, with a smooth high UV-Resistance easy to clean outer surface. Over the years Polyglas has developed in knowledge and experience producing quality tankers up to 28,000lte. The Storth lightweight tanks will be manufactured and assembled at our premises in the UK. Our research & development team are currently designing and building a bespoke 4 wheel chassis system with hydraulic brakes including front hinge, to house the various sizes of tankers available from Storth, a great quality engineering partnership in the making. Storth Ltd will have the ability to supply tankers, in various sizes ranging from 6,000 to 28,000lte as standard at competitive prices.
