Peak shaving

Cover the peak, skip the year-round storage of stainless steel kegs. Order what the season needs, put it straight into use, and recycle it when the peak is over.

The problem

Most draught is sold in a short season. To meet that peak with stainless steel kegs you buy and store a fleet that then sits idle for the rest of the year.

That is capital locked up, storage space taken, and cleaning and maintenance on kegs that only work a few weeks.

The Dolium answer

Buy Dolium for the peak instead of stocking stainless steel kegs for it.

When demand spikes you order what you need, put it straight into use, and recycle it after.

Your capacity matches your demand instead of your worst-case peak.

What changes for you

Two sides of the same switch: what disappears from your operation, and what it opens up.

What you remove

What you gain

Why Dolium for this

In a peak it is speed that counts, not fleet size: how quickly kegs arrive, how little preparation they need, and what they cost you once the season is over.

Delivered at short notice

Short lead times mean you can order at the peak and receive kegs quickly, rather than planning a full fleet months ahead.

Ready to use

Kegs arrive clean, sterile and ready to fill, so peak volume goes out without extra preparation.

No capital tied up

You pay for the peak you actually need, with no fleet to finance and no loss risk.

Stores and stacks easily

Stackable and light, so the extra peak volume takes little space and moves efficiently.

Proven under real conditions

The kegs are built and certified for real operating conditions, with the patented APRV (Automatic Pressure Relief Valve) and three-barrier technology keeping product safe and fresh through the busiest weeks.
