There are many functions of the tanker, such as transporting oil, refueling, transporting edible oil, flowing refueling and so on. One thing needs to be clear is that it is used to hold oil substances. With the improvement of living standards, more and more private vehicles, the use of oil gradually increased, which led to the development of fuel tanker semi trailer industry. Now a lot of people choose aluminum alloy when choosing oil tanker trailers. When our Botswana customers find us, he is struggling to decide whether to buy aluminum alloy oil tanker semi trailer or traditional carbon steel oil tanker semi trailer. After communicating with our sales manager, he still decided to buy aluminum alloy oil tanker semi trailer and paid the deposit.

aluminum alloy fuel tanker trailer

So far, SUNSKY have exported nearly 200 fuel tanker semitrailers to Africa. What are the advantages of SUNSKY's aluminum alloy fuel tank semitrailers?

1. Low center of gravity design, using square section, the center of gravity of the same cross-sectional area is reduced by 100mm, the roll Angle is increased to 30 degrees >23 degrees (standard value), effectively prevent rolvering.

2. The use of anti-rollet-over safety and stability system, the driving condition of the vehicle can be monitored in real time, when the system detects that the vehicle will be out of control, it will apply braking force to the specific wheel, at the same time to reduce the speed, help the vehicle safe driving on the right track, prevent the vehicle out of control or rollet-over.

3. The rear suspension design is extended by 500mm. At the same time, the tanker body is made of high-extension Alcoa plate (the elongation is only 1 times higher than the ordinary 5083 plate), which solves the problem of tank body cracking when the rear collision of the ordinary fuel  tanker trailer.

4. Because of the use of aluminum alloy material, Aluminum alloy fuel tanker trailer's weight is lighter, by reducing the weight can increase the vehicle's payload, the weight of a single transport goods than carbon steel tank car 18% to 35%.

5. The chemical performance of aluminum alloy is stable. The corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy is more than 70% higher than ordinary carbon steel.

6. From the appearance, the appearance of aluminum alloy oil tanker trailer is more beautiful, and no spray paint, easy to clean.

7. Service life, the excellent characteristics of aluminum alloy makes the service life of aluminum alloy tanker trailer longer, usually maintained better old aluminum alloy tank can also be used in the new chassis, even if the tank scrapped also has a high recovery value.

8. Handling, aluminum alloy tank trailer's center of gravity is relatively low, braking is easier, making the vehicle's handling is better, aluminum alloy can also absorb the energy of the accident through effective deformation (the possibility of later repair recovery is higher), so as to improve the safety of driving.

9. Aluminum alloy is non-combustible material, not easy to produce sparks, electrostatic accumulation is lower.

Aluminum alloy fuel tanker semi trailer configuration

★ Basic configuration

1. Two axles (37.3 and 44.1 m³), three axes (41.8 m³, 49 m³, 49.2 m³, 49.5 m³), the tank body is made of aluminum alloy, with 2 European standard tank mouths, 2 aluminum alloy submarine valves, East wind steel ring, Fengshen R22.5 vacuum tires, Fuwa axle (widened brake pads), air bag suspension/steel plate suspension, European standard manhole cover, The oil and gas recovery belt is loaded with material, Kemi ABS,

★ Tank part

2. The longitudinal weld of the tank is automatic welding process, and the butt welding between the expansion head and the cylinder is automatic welding. Fully automatic production equipment is adopted to make the product quality and appearance more stable and beautiful.

Plasma cutting machine: high cutting precision, smooth appearance. Special-shaped tank forming machine: broke the traditional rolling machine can making way, the quality is more stable and the shape is more beautiful.

Automatic welding of circular seam: the connection of head and tank body is more consistent, and the welding seam is more exquisite. Automatic welding of flat butt: one side welding and two sides forming, over-smooth welding.

3. The butt welding head of the tank shall be inspected by 10% radiography. The quality of the radiography shall not be lower than grade AB, and the qualified level shall not be lower than grade 3 stipulated in NB/T47013.2-2015.

★ Optional and additional parts

Suspension: Optional BPW axle, air suspension, with lift.

Valve parts: can be divided into compartment.

Steel ring: domestic aluminum ring, imported aluminum ring, zhengxing aluminum ring, etc.

Lifting leg: optional Fuwa or JOST.

Others: optional toolbox, tank top water tank, fire extinguisher box, refueling case, movable aluminum alloy guardrail can be added left and right retention mouth, etc.

SUNSKY aluminum alloy fuel tanker trailer through continuous research and development and technical modification, with unique production technology and scale in the domestic counterparts also occupy the leading advantage. From the above analysis, it can be concluded that the use of aluminum alloy tank trailer can not only recover the investment cost in a short time, but also create more economic income and comprehensive benefits than carbon steel tanker trailer, is indeed the best choice of refined oil transportation equipment.
