New addition to Storth’s extensive product portfolio
Storth continually strive to meet the needs of our clients and market trends, and with the knowledge Storth have gained
over the many years in slurry management we recognised a need for a versatile lightweight and robust mobile tanker in
our product portfolio.
e are pleased to
announce our
agreed new
partnership with
Polyglas in
Germany, a
company synonymous for it quality
German Engineering, a family
owned business established in
1890 by the grandfather of the
current 4th generation owner, who
began manufacturing wooden
tankers for the agricultural
industry, gaining year on year
manufacturing experiences and
using the most up to date technics
to ensure quality products are
produced.

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

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.
Bespoke/tailor-made tankers will
also be available from Storth to
meet customers exacting
requirements.
Hot of the press is an image
taster of the Storth/Polyglas tanker
prototype at the development
stage released by our research &
development team. And as the old
saying goes “watch this space” for
further developments and launch
date.
