Mini Tanks UK is an offshoot of Party Time Inflatables, a family-run hire business operating in the North East since 2009. We are one of the largest event hire companies in the region and we are used to running events with proper safety procedures, PAT testing, insurance and trained staff. We spent a long time researching mini tanks before we chose the ones we use — reliability and safety were the deciding factors, not price.

Every driver gets a military-style safety helmet that must be worn at all times. Each tank is fitted with 4-point locking seat belts, which must also be worn for every session. Our marshal carries a remote control that can stop and start any tank at the push of a button.

The tanks are suitable for drivers from 8 years old to adults. Each tank's speed can be adjusted to suit the driver's ability. The controls are straightforward — two levers that you push forward or pull back to make the tracks move and steer, just like a real tank.

Only one person per tank at a time. Passengers and multiple drivers are not allowed.

We carry £5m public liability insurance.

If you need a copy of the insurance, risk assessments or any other safety information, contact us and we will send it over.
