We want to buy new lube storage equipment (70 gallon and 120 gallon steel contains, we can't have plastic for safety reasons) that will allow us to filter oil going into the container, filter re-circulated oil from the container, and filter oil being dispensed. The storage units have to be transportable by forklift. Does anybody know where we can buy such units? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ray,

I am not sure what is available in the northern hemisphere as I am in the southern hemisphere.

There are a number of companies in australia that custom make such containers specifically for mining application. I have seen 1000L intermediate bulk containers converted for such filtration purposes which a forklift can move - it also comes with rated lifting lugs to hoist up, also self contained seacontainers fitted out to suit filtration requirements. You can also purchase kidney loop filtration units that fits a 205L drum which has a trolley to move around site - it also comes with a cover and a lift lug.
These companies are: Mining and Hydraulic supplies, Transtank and Schutz DSL.
