Fuel Tanker Trailer Specifications & Drawings - Product Guide

Petroleum and Petroleum Products Transportation

One of the main functions of the fuel tanker is to transport petroleum and petroleum products. Including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation kerosene, lubricating oil, etc. After these petroleum products are produced from the refinery, they will be transported to various places by fuel tanker. Aluminum tanker trailers are the first choice for transporting this type of cargo due to their corrosion resistance and lightweight. Other than that, using a carbon steel tanker trailer is a good option for cost savings. Because carbon steel is cheaper than aluminum.

Luyi are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

Weld seam surfaces are polished to ensure no product remains in the crevices.

Step 1: Prepare raw materials

Cut the aluminum plate or steel plate into the standard size and thickness specified by ISO with a plasma cutting machine.

Step 2: Rolling Tank Truck Body

Use a rolling machine to connect multiple aluminum alloy plates or steel plates, and weld and fix them on both sides to form a 6 – 8mm thick metal cylinder.

Step 3: Prepare the front shell and tail shell

Use a plasma cutting machine to cut the front shell into the shape required by the drawing, then use a hydraulic bulging machine to shape it and form it at one time. Finally, use the deep side of the screw machine to make the edge of the head to about 6cm.

Step 4: Make the wave board

Use a plasma cutter and edger to make the desired shape of the anti-wave board according to the drawing. Cut inspection holes of different sizes on the surface of the anti-wave board and arrange them in a staggered manner.

Step 5: Oil storage tank body welding

Fix the tank body of the oil tanker by rotating machinery and adjust it to the appropriate angle. Use automatic welding and double-sided welding, with electrical control and remote monitoring, to avoid missing welding.

Step 6: Install toolboxes, guardrails, etc.

Install toolboxes, guardrails, and other accessories to complete the assembly of the oil tank trailer, forming a complete vehicle.

The fuel tank semi trailer is normally used in oil transportation such as fuel, diesel, oil, lubricant oil, and other oil .

The tanker shell is specially designed to bear the large air pressure.

The tank design helps to shorten the discharge time and reduce the residual during unloading
