Understanding mobile storage solutions
What is a mobile tank?
Definition and common uses (CNG, fuels, water, AdBlue, etc.)
A mobile tank is a transportable tank designed for storage and refueling of various liquids : fuels (diesel, RNG, gasoline, AdBlue) but also water or specific products. Unlike fixed tanks, it is easy to move from one site to another, and complies with safety standards. ADR safety for hazardous products. These tanks are available in steel or polyethylene with single- or double-walled and sometimes a retention tank to limit the risk of pollution. 👉 They offer professionals a practical solution for powering their equipment or ensuring business continuity.

Smarter tank management
Our connected solution for mobile tanks
The Four Data connected gauge for transportable tanks
Our connected gauges are installed directly on your mobile tanks (steel or polyethylene, single- or double-walled, with drip tray). They continuously measure FUEL LEVEL (diesel, petrol, RNG, AdBlue) and automatically transmit the data to our secure platform. This solution is suitable for all tank formats, from small 200-liter models to tankers of several thousand liters.
Real-time monitoring of levels and movements
Thanks to our intelligent sensors, you can see in real time :
- The exact volume available in each tank.
- L’evolution of consumption by day, week or month.
- The fuel movements (filling, refueling).
👉 No more manual checks: all information is just a click away from the web interface or mobile app.

Locate and secure assets
Reservoir geolocation and geo-fencing
Each tank can be equipped with a geolocation module. You track their precise position and receive an alert if a tank leaves a defined zone (geo-fencing). This functionality is essential for securing your assets and limiting the risk of theft or fraudulent use, particularly on construction sites or in isolated depots.
Stay informed in real time
Automatic alerts (low thresholds, displacement, anomalies)
Our gauges can be used to define customized thresholds :
- Low threshold alert → anticipation of fuel delivery.
- Displacement alert → detection of theft or unexpected movement.
- Anomaly alert → leak or abnormal consumption.
📩 Sample notification :
“⚠️ 900 L RNG tank – East job site: low level (15% remaining). Plan to refuel.”
Low-power positioning technology
TOWERCELL LOCATOR – Precise location without GPS
The TOWERCELL LOCATOR is a complementary option available with FOUR DATA connected gauges.
This technology is based on the principle of cellular triangulation, which enables a sensor to be located by analyzing the signals it emits and its position relative to three network antennas.
