What are the classifications of tank semi-trailers?

Tank semi-trailer refers to a semi-trailer with a tank structure in the container. It is more common in transportation operations. It is widely used in industry, agriculture, commerce and other fields under normal circumstances. It is mainly used to transport oil, gas, bulk Materials etc.

According to the type of goods transported, tank semi-trailers can be subdivided into the following categories:

1. Liquid tank truck: transport gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil, vegetable oil, edible oil, heavy oil, coal tar and acid and alkali, water, alcohol, aldehyde, benzene, ether and other liquid substances;

2. Powder tank truck: transport bulk dry materials such as bulk cement, flour, stone powder, coal powder, and chemical powder with a particle diameter of ≤0.1mm.

3. Gas tank trucks: transport nitrogen, argon, petroleum gas and other gas products;

4. Granular tanker: mainly transports granular goods such as grains, beans, granular plastics, etc.;

5. Other special tank trucks: such as concrete mixer truck, sprinkler truck, sweeper truck, etc.

According to the pressure in the tank semi-trailer container, it can be divided into:

1. Low-pressure tanker: the internal pressure of the tank body is generally below 0.09Mpa, mainly for water, light fuel, etc.;

2. Medium-pressure tanker: the internal pressure of the tank body is generally 0.147-0.294Mpa, mainly transporting caustic soda, asphalt, etc.;

3. High-pressure tank truck: the internal pressure of the tank body is generally 1.177-3.532Mpa.

Advantages of tank semi-trailer:

1. High loading, unloading and transportation efficiency

Transporting goods through tanks is convenient for centralized loading and unloading, which can shorten the downtime of vehicles due to cargo loading and unloading, and improve transportation efficiency.

2. Protect the goods.

Tanks are generally airtight containers, and the goods are less affected by the outside world during transportation, and are less prone to pollution, leakage or deterioration.

3. High degree of cargo safety.

Especially when transporting some explosive, flammable, toxic or corrosive goods, tank transportation can greatly reduce the occurrence of accidents and improve transportation, loading and unloading safety.

4. Saving packaging materials.

The use of tank transportation does not require packaging of the goods, which can save packaging materials and costs, and reduce transportation costs;

5. Reduce labor intensity

Tank-type transportation and loading and unloading have a high degree of mechanization, do not require multiple loading and unloading, and do not require excessive manpower participation, which can greatly reduce manpower consumption.

6. Reduce environmental pollution.

Especially when transporting goods or other harmful items that are prone to dust and particles, tank transportation can greatly reduce the pollution during loading, unloading and transportation, and significantly improve working conditions.

The tank semi-trailer has a large transportation volume, generally more than 24t, and the specific needs are comprehensively determined according to the model, chassis, and bodywork configuration. DARO trailer axles have been specializing in the production of various trailer axles for more than 20 years. Its disc trailer axles and drum trailers Axles, low-bed trailer axles, light trailer axles and other products are abundant, and the dimensions and specifications can be customized. The strength, toughness, ductility and other properties have been fully tested by the market, so you can feel more at ease.
