Fuel on site without a bunded bowser is a pollution risk and a compliance issue. A bunded diesel bowser from our Melksham depot keeps your machines running and your site legal. If you are searching for fuel bowser hire near me in Melksham, call 01380 828988.
Why Hire a Fuel Bowser?
Sites near the River Avon, the Kennet and Avon Canal and any watercourse in Wiltshire face strict pollution control regulations. Unbunded fuel storage risks fines, clean-up costs and environmental damage. A bunded bowser contains any spill within the outer skin. For sites running multiple diesel machines — excavators, dumpers, generators — a bowser on site eliminates repeated fuel deliveries and keeps the programme moving without downtime waiting for the tanker. Call 01380 828988.
Fuel Bowser Specifications
Large development sites across Trowbridge, Chippenham and Devizes run multiple diesel machines — excavators, dumpers, generators, compressors. Without on-site fuel, each machine refuelling interruption costs programme time. A bunded bowser on site means machines refuel during breaks rather than waiting for a delivery tanker. The best position for the bowser is on firm, level ground near the site access road but away from drains and watercourses.
The Melksham depot stocks bunded 250-gallon steel diesel bowsers. The bund capacity meets or exceeds the 110% containment requirement for stored diesel on construction sites. Each bowser includes a hand pump or electric pump, hose and nozzle.
The bowser sits on a flat, stable surface on site. Forklift pockets allow repositioning without craning.
Full specifications for the fuel bowser range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Fuel Bowser Hire Across Wiltshire and Bath
The 250-gallon capacity suits most single-site operations running two to four diesel machines. For larger sites with more machines, multiple bowsers can be supplied. The hand pump delivers fuel without requiring mains power — practical on greenfield sites where electricity is not yet connected. Electric pump options are available for higher throughput on sites with a generator or temporary supply.
Fuel bowsers are delivered from the Melksham depot by flatbed. Collection is also available if you have a suitable vehicle.
Contractors across Trowbridge, Chippenham, Devizes, Bath, Warminster and Frome hire from this depot regularly. Looking for fuel bowser hire near me? Next-day delivery across Wiltshire, Bath and Somerset.
Compliance and Safe Use
For civil engineering contracts across Wiltshire — road works along the A350, drainage schemes near the River Avon, housing infrastructure across Trowbridge and Chippenham — fuel bowsers are a standard site setup requirement. Coppard supplies the bowser alongside the machines, the compaction equipment and the accessories from one depot.
Place the bowser on firm, level ground away from drains and watercourses. The bund contains any accidental spill. Keep the nozzle locked when not in use. A spill kit should be available on site whenever fuel is stored. Call 01380 828988.
For contractors running multiple sites across Wiltshire, fuel bowsers can be moved between sites as the programme demands. The bowser has forklift pockets for repositioning and can be loaded onto a flatbed for transport. If you are running machines from Coppard, the fuel bowser comes from the same account — one depot, one invoice.
