ATE’s 25m B-Double with a Kenworth T909. Enjoy carting the deliveries Barrellson Haulage, it’s a match made in Melbourne.

A blast from the past, this will bring back memories for many. Mr Whippy is back and instead of driving a van, he’ll be driving an ATE tanker. Many thanks to our distributor WBG Trailer Repairs for their assistance.

Booth’s PBS 26m A-Double stainless steel tanker was developed and manufactured to maximise payload under the PBS scheme.

With a unique elliptical design, this multipurpose tanker is capable of delivering both food grade and dangerous goods liquid.

Another Australian owned and operated business on the continuous improvement path for productivity and safety.

ATE’s recent delivery is another addition to United Petroleum's fleet and another chapter in our long running partnership. This current delivery of a Tri-Axle 23m B-Double configuration includes steerable axles allowing for greater manoeuvrability and improved turning circle. The unit will commence deliveries immediately across Victoria.

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.
