Meeting the Challenges

While cylinders were easily transported and handled, bulk propane tanks presented certain obvious challenges.

Through the 1950's and 60's, Sparling's used special trailers to deliver and install tanks, a procedure that required a loaded trailer to be backed across a customer's yard to the desired location. The tank was then lowered into position.

Fleet colour was changed to blue and white in 1960.

Cranes replaced trailers in the 1970's and today, ensure faster and safer tank delivery and installation.
