ATE Tankers News

The town of Monto, in Queensland’s North Burnett has developed a passion for public art on a staggering scale.

Shown here passing  the “Three Moons” silos on Burnett Highway is one of our B-Double configurations for Chevron/Directhaul – working hard to fuel numerous sites across rural Queensland.

It’s always great to see any of our units in action, yet having two at once is even better.

GasCorp/Budget Petrol have been delivering 43,000L gross with their two Tri-Axle ATE Tankers throughout the metropolitan Sydney area for the past six months to their network of service stations, and they are looking as new as they day they were delivered along. So next time you’re filling up at Budget Petrol, keep an eye out for an ATE Tanker.

We are closing a busy month with a delivery to another Aussie owned and operated independent fuel distributor. Bean Express Owner, Chris Doosey stated, “I’m thrilled with the final product. It’s why I keep coming back to ATE."

This will be the first run of deliveries for 2021 for Bean Express. A great demonstration of Australian companies supporting each other, and supporting the community.

As we approach Australia Day, it’s a great time to reflect on the benefits of buying and supporting Australian Made product.

We are often asked what are the benefits of buying products made in Australia?

Purchasing an Australian Made product or service isn’t just good for those businesses and their workers; it creates an increased demand for everyone along the supply chain, from local courier drivers to packaging suppliers to manufacturers of various components or equipment.

For every $1 million of business retained in Australia, this delivers:

• 10 full-time jobs
• $985,000 worth of value added to the economy
• $333,900 worth of tax revenue
• $95,000 worth of welfare benefits saved for Government

Whilst in many cases Australian manufacturers cannot compete simply on cost, we are world leading on quality and that is where we can make a difference in the future.

So next time you have a choice between Australian or overseas purchases, keep in mind how much you can support the economy and the community by staying green and gold as every purchase adds up.

ATE Tankers are rolling back into action and a happy New Year to all. We’re set for a big year with many exciting projects well underway, and here is just a taste of what to expect for 2021. ATE’s impressive and recently delivered Triple Road Train for WA Fuels is already working hard to deliver loads along Australia’s west coast.

As the year comes to a close, ATE ‘s spirit of hard work and desire to solve our clients toughest challenges can be recognised with our 2020 wrap-up:

We designed and developed a range of safer and higher rated fuel tanker solutions,  continued forging the path with our “Australian Made” and accredited Vacuum Tanker range, and again hit the International market.

From all of us at ATE Tankers, we would like to thank our clients, suppliers and followers and wish you all a very safe and Merry Christmas.  

We look forward to working with you all upon our return in 2021.
