Our Story

The story of Road Tankers Northern began in 1991 when managing Director Frank Newell recognised an opening for the manufactures of road tankers to business. With little more than a small office and telephone RTN was born with the objective to secure business for road Tanker remount and repairs. Experienced technicians were recruited and with a lot of hard work the business began to grow in the first year.

By 1993, RTN was building over 80 new road tankers a year and had quickly established itself as a respected name within the oil industry. The business was further enhanced with the expansion of the sales and design teams bringing a wealth of experience to ensure further growth.
