Pressure testing intervals are not suggestions, and missing one takes a unit off the road.

Three-year and six-year tests and the fifteen-year revalidation each have specific scope and documentation requirements. Planning them around your operational calendar is far cheaper than reacting to an expiry.

TRD carries out statutory pressure testing and revalidation with the documentation fleets need for compliance and audit.

Send us your fleet's test due dates and we will help you plan the year.

The free SLP check special runs until the end of October.

Send your tanker in for a 3-year pressure test, 6-year pressure test or 15-year revalidation, and TRD will carry out SLP checks at no additional cost, covering optic sockets, overfill sensors, dome covers, drainage pipes, vapour recovery, pneumatics and earth reel continuity.

Combining required testing with SLP checks identifies issues early, reduces downtime risk and keeps units inspection-ready.

Book your qualifying test in September and use the special before it closes.

Choosing the right workshop is a fleet management decision, not just a repair decision.

The workshop you choose determines turnaround time, compliance confidence, documentation quality and the long-term condition of your assets.

TRD delivers tanker and trailer repair, maintenance, testing, refurbishment and certification from our Alrode facility, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 accreditation and a team that understands what tanker operators need.

As August closes and spring approaches, now is the time to plan the maintenance, testing and compliance work that sets your fleet up for a strong finish to the year.

Speak to TRD about your fleet requirements.

Post-winter corrosion is one of the most underestimated risks in tanker fleet management.

Moisture, road salt, condensation and temperature cycling all contribute to surface and structural corrosion that accelerates through the cold months. Left unchecked, corrosion compromises structural integrity, compliance status and asset value.

TRD's sandblasting and respray services restore protective coatings, address corrosion damage and extend the operational life of tanker and trailer assets.

A surface problem today can become a structural problem tomorrow. Address it before it progresses.

A tanker accident is not just a mechanical event. It is an operational, financial and compliance event that affects the entire fleet.

The quality of the repair determines how quickly the vehicle returns to service, whether it meets compliance on re-entry and how the asset performs in the years that follow.

TRD carries out tanker and trailer accident repairs with the same structural rigour, compliance focus and documentation standard that applies to every service we deliver.

From structural assessment through to final inspection, every repair is completed to restore the asset to a compliant, roadworthy and operationally sound condition.

When the repair matters, the workshop standard matters more.

Electrical systems on tankers are not standard vehicle wiring. They operate in environments where product classification, safety ratings and regulatory requirements define every component.

Lighting, earthing, junction boxes, level indicators and control systems must all meet the specifications required for the product being carried.

TRD's electrical and instrumentation capability covers inspections, repairs, fault finding and compliance upgrades for tanker and trailer electrical systems, ensuring that the systems supporting safe operation are maintained to the correct standard.

Electrical integrity on a tanker is not a convenience. It is a safety requirement.
