Fuel Management

Keep Plant Running

Fuel supply managed around your hire

Temporary boilers, heaters and generators depend on a consistent fuel supply. We can arrange bunded tanks, monitor fuel levels and coordinate regular top-ups so your team does not have to manage every delivery. Fuel management is an optional service that can be added to your equipment hire, with fuel supply, tank hire, remote monitoring and replenishment combined into one rental package and price.

Fuel demand can change with operating hours, weather and the equipment on site. We plan replenishment around those requirements, with fuel delivered through regional partners, including Scotland. Fuel requirements are managed throughout the hire, including final deliveries to help minimise unnecessary fuel costs and surplus fuel at the end of the contract.

Optional Fuel Management Services

  • Bunded tanks selected for the installation
  • Planned deliveries and top-ups
  • Remote fuel-level monitoring where fitted
  • Fuel support for oil-fired boilers, heaters and generators

  • Tank capacity matched to expected consumption
  • Fuel levels visible through compatible telemetry

Why CRS

Benefits of hiring chillers from us

Six reasons customers choose Cross Rental Services for temporary cooling, from the size of the fleet to the people who install it.

From 5 kW portable units to 1 MW packaged chillers, our fleet covers process cooling, comfort cooling and low-temperature applications. Whatever the duty, we have a unit ready to ship.

Every hire starts with a conversation about your site. We size the plant, plan the pipework and power, and design a temporary system that fits around your operation rather than the other way round.
