This is the first time for a Zimbabwean customer to buy an aluminum alloy tanker trailer . He used to use carbon steel fuel tanker trailers. Because this customer has always been in the transportation business, the demand for fuel tanker semi-trailers is growing. A trailer is just a necessity for him, and the more he buys, the bigger the business will be.

The customer has very rich experience in purchasing semi-trailers. Because he has been engaged in the oil transportation industry for 20 years, the customer is very careful about the quality control of oil tanker trailers. He has bought oil tank semi-trailers locally and imported them from China. He is very clear about what kind of product is needed. Customers need products that are more corrosion-resistant, more durable, lightweight and convenient, and can meet the needs of local road transportation. Therefore, Waylen, the sales manager of SUNSKY, recommended a 45,000-liter 3 compartment aluminum alloy fuel tanker trailer to the customer.

Although the sea freight for transporting oil tank semi-trailers is very expensive now, but the customer really needs to use it, and the customer's business is large, he has the strength to import fuel tanker trailers from China.

Due to the high production cost of aluminum alloy fuel tanker trailers, many consumers only consider the initial price and ignore the long-term economic benefits. 

Why is aluminum alloy more resistant to corrosion?

In the air, aluminum alloy is more likely to produce a dense aluminum oxide protective film on its surface, which has good corrosion resistance. It can effectively prevent the erosion of the atmosphere and water, and has strong anti-corrosion ability to ensure that the oil delivered is not polluted.

There is no need for anti-corrosion treatment during the service cycle, and the service life of the aluminum alloy tanker trailer is generally 15-20 years.

The Zimbabwean customer's special needs for products are as follows, which can be a reference for friends in need.

1. European standard manhole, installed on the top of the aluminum alloy tankertrailer.

Uses: Built-in breathing valve, oil and gas recovery valve, oil metering hole, anti-overflow sensor, etc. When the oil volume reaches the alarm limit, the sensor will automatically alarm and stop filling. The built-in breathing valve keeps the internal pressure of the tank stable and balanced with the external pressure during transportation.

2. Oil and gas vapor recovery system: generally installed on the left side of the pipeline outlet or on the trailer of the aluminum alloy tankertrailer .

Uses: The oil and gas recovery steam valve can recover all the steam generated by the volatilization of the oil during the oil loading and unloading process into the oil tank to avoid oil and gas leakage.

3. Front disc brake and rear drum brake: ensure that the aluminum alloy tanker trailer can be effectively braked in an emergency. The front wheels rely on a two-piece cast iron and disc brake system, and the rear wheels are braked by the expansion of the brake pads.

When the internal pressure rises rapidly, it will automatically open and release the pressure of the 45,000-liter aluminum alloy oil tanker trailer , thereby preventing accidents and greatly improving the safety of oil transportation.

4. Bottom oil valve: generally installed below the aluminum alloy tankertrailer.

Application: Bottom outlet valve, also known as oil drain valve, is used for quick oil drain. The front-end interface conforms to the American APRp1004 standard, which is convenient to connect with the unloading hose. The internal structure is hydrodynamically designed to minimize internal pressure at high flow rates. The oil outlet adopts a flat bottom structure, which is safe and reliable without oil leakage when disassembling the joint.

5. Subsea valve: generally installed at the oil outlet of the aluminum alloy tanker trailer.

Uses: When stimulated by unbalanced external force, the oil pipeline can be cut off within 5 seconds to ensure the safety of liquid transportation, prevent leakage, fire and explosion; protect the safety of drivers, goods, property and outside lives.

6. Anti-overflow electronic sensor: generally installed next to the entrance of the aluminum alloy tankertrailer.

Application: Overflow-proof electronic sensor is widely used in liquid filling of various sealed tankers. Early warning to prevent liquid spills and leaks. It is usually installed on the manhole cover on the top of the tanker. When the fuel volume reaches the warning line, the sensor will automatically alarm and stop.
