How the SK700-II has evolved for the forecourt of the future.
Let’s Explore the Evolution of the SK700-II
The SK700-II needs little introduction. It is Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s best-selling dispenser, trusted across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Its distinctive C-shape design has become a symbol of reliability, performance, and user-focused engineering.
As the SK700-II moves into 2026, it enters its next chapter. The design remains instantly recognisable, but beneath the surface, targeted enhancements deliver measurable gains across quality, efficiency, connectivity, and day-to-day usability. These developments reflect how forecourt operations are evolving - and how engineering must evolve with them.
This is not a reinvention. It is a considered evolution of a platform trusted by operators, installers, and technicians alike.
What’s new in the 2026 evolution
Quality and durability strengthened
On busy forecourts, dispensers face continuous daily use, which can put them under strain over time. The new Cord Retraction and Clamp system improves hose management and reduces wear, supporting smoother operation over time. Enhanced Corrosion Protection, including parylene-coated electronics, increases resistance to environmental conditions and extends dispenser life.
These improvements focus on longevity, not just aesthetics. They are designed to reduce disruption and keep dispensers performing as expected over years of service.
Operational efficiency built in
Accuracy and reliability remain central to the SK700-II. The HD Meter now replaces the C+ Meter as standard across all dispensers, delivering higher accuracy, improved security, and reduced drift without the need for premium upgrades.
Paired with the Pulser SIP III, the system provides consistent measurement and long-term stability. For sites requiring enhanced performance, the EcoMeter remains available as the premium option. Now approved for HVO100 fuels, it delivers high accuracy and durability through a spindle meter design with 33% fewer moving parts, reducing wear and the need for recalibration over time.
For commercial forecourts, recent updates to the master and satellite configuration introduce greater flexibility. Support for two fuel grades via a single satellite helps high-volume sites manage flow more efficiently while maintaining operational control.
Software and connectivity aligned with modern operations
Connectivity continues to play an increasing role in forecourt management. With the introduction of Insite360 Uptime, the SK700-II now supports secure remote diagnostics and guided maintenance, helping teams identify performance changes and plan interventions with greater confidence.
Support for Third-Party Multimedia CMS also opens new opportunities for digital engagement. Live fuelling data can be shared with external screens and platforms, enabling forecourts to connect operational data with customer-facing experiences.
These capabilities reflect Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s position as an end-to-end solutions provider - not just a hardware manufacturer.
User experience refined
The FlexPay 6 A2 09 payment module head improvements introduce a fully integrated, streamlined design. This all-in-one solution that can house the latest payment solutions supporting EMV and contactless standards while simplifying transactions at the dispenser. The result is a payment experience that feels intuitive for customers and practical for operators to maintain.
Built for the multi-fuel future
The SK700-II has always been designed with adaptability in mind. Its evolution for 2026 builds on that foundation, supporting a wide range of fuels and evolving forecourt formats. While the exterior remains familiar, internal systems have been carefully refined to meet changing operational, regulatory, and customer expectations.
This balance between continuity and progress is what has made the SK700-II so widely trusted. It looks familiar because it is familiar. It performs better because it has evolved where it matters most.
Bringing Europe’s trusted dispenser into its next chapter
The evolution of the SK700-II reflects Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s continued focus on engineering confidence. It combines proven design with practical innovation, supporting European forecourts as they plan for the years ahead.
