Bunkers & Trolleys FAQs
How much coal can a coal bunker typically hold?
Coal bunkers come in various sizes and capacities, and the amount of coal they can hold depends on their dimensions and design. At Fuel Tank Shop, we stock a wide range of coal bunkers from smaller 3 bag coal bunkers from 150kg of coal to much larger 12 bag bunkers that store up to 600kg. Smaller coal bunkers are suitable for residential use, while larger bunkers will suit commercial and industrial use.
It's important to note that the capacity of a coal bunker may also vary depending on the type and size of the coal being stored, as different coal types have varying densities and can occupy different volumes. When choosing your coal bunker, it's important to consider your specific needs and usage requirements, such as the amount of coal you typically use, the available space for storage, and the frequency of coal deliveries. It's recommended to select a coal bunker with a capacity that meets your needs, allowing you to store an adequate supply of coal for your intended usage without overloading the bunker.
Where is the best place to put a coal bunker?
The ideal location for your coal bunker may vary depending on factors such as the layout of your property and accessibility. However, here are some general guidelines to consider when determining the best place to put your coal bunker. You may want to place your bunker somewhere it can be easily accessed when you have your coal delivered. Consider factors such as the width and height of access points, clearance for manoeuvring, and any potential obstacles that may be in the way. Think about the proximity of the coal bunker to the point of use to minimise the effort and time required to bring the coal from your bunker to your heating appliance.
Select a level and stable area for your coal bunker. Avoid sloped or uneven ground, as that could affect the stability of the bunker and make loading and unloading more challenging. Level ground will also help minimise the risk of accidents or damage. Avoid placing your bunker in areas where it may pose a safety risk, such as near flammable materials, electrical equipment, or in high-traffic areas.
By considering these factors, you’ll be able to determine the best place to put your coal bunker to ensure efficient and safe coal storage for your needs.
