Naas Oil chooses Alpeco
12th May 2010
Naas Oils based in Naas, near Dublin in the Republic of Ireland have placed an order with Alpeco Limited of Aylesbury, UK for a new loading skid which is a 4 arm Bottom loading unit fitted with Liquid Control M25 meters and centrifugal pumps giving loading rates of up to 1100 litres per minute (lpm).
Each meter is fitted with the TE550 electronic register this gives individual control for each meter. The skid is configured for loading of Gas oil, diesel and kerosene. The skid is to be installed in a new depot close to the current HQ in Naas and is the first unit Alpeco have supplied in the Irish Republic..
Adrian Baskott, Sales and Marketing Director of Alpeco commented, 'So far as trucks are concerned all of Naas's trucks are equipped with Alpeco tank and metering systems, they have some of our previous model meter systems called Lectrocount 3, which was extremely reliable and widely used within the fuel AD industry. More recently Naas have been supplied with the TE550 Checkmate system, 2 trucks in 2009 built by Road Tankers Northern, and a third unit has now been ordered again through Road Tankers Northern.'
Brian King, Managing Director of Naas Oils said, 'We have 11 lorries presently in the fleet and have ordered the new 4 arm loading skid. We have been getting very good service from the Lectrocount 3 with an excellent record of only one or less breakdowns per year, they are very realiable!
'The load skid is going into a new storage depot in Naas which will improve the speed of loading for the lorries. It will be safer and more convenient for the driver. It has digital readouts and will be linked to stock control and dipping systems on the tank.'
Brian continued, 'Alpeco have been supplying all our equipment for the last 9 years. We have 18 years experience of servicing our clients and we understand the importance of providing top quality products at very competitive prices both on deliveries and on service. Our uniformed drivers are fully trained in health & safety and hold current hazchem licences. Our Fleet are the most modern on the road, with reversing cameras and back axle steering.'
