Semi-Trailer Tanker Truck

A semi-trailer tanker truck is a specialized transport vehicle consisting of a tractor and a tank trailer, primarily used for road transportation of liquids and bulk materials (e.g., gasoline, diesel, chemicals). Its structural and functional features are outlined below:

1. Structure and Design

1. ‌Vehicle Composition‌

• Modular design with a tractor and tank trailer connected via a kingpin coupling.

• Tank bodies are optimized through 3D modeling and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure sealing integrity and pressure resistance.

• Typical dimensions: ~12,980 × 2,490 × 3,950 mm, with a curb weight of 8–9 tons and a payload capacity of up to 31 tons.

2. ‌Chassis Configuration‌

• Most trailers feature tri-axle systems paired with air suspension or lightweight materials (e.g., aluminum alloy) to enhance load capacity and driving stability.

2. Core Advantages

1. ‌Transport Efficiency‌

• Compared to rigid tanker trucks, semi-trailers improve transport efficiency by 30–50%, reduce fuel consumption by 20–30%, and lower overall costs by 30–40%.

2. ‌Adaptability‌

• Customizable tank structures enable transport of diverse liquids (e.g., hazardous chemicals, food-grade materials). Some models include insulation layers or multi-compartment designs.

3. Applications and Classifications

1. ‌Primary Uses‌

• ‌Petrochemicals‌: Transporting gasoline, diesel, and liquid chemicals.

• ‌Construction‌: Concrete mixer trucks, bulk cement carriers.

• ‌Food Industry‌: Water tankers, liquid food transporters.

2. ‌Common Types‌

• ‌By Material‌: Carbon steel tanks, aluminum alloy tanks (lightweight).

• ‌By Function‌: Langbei-style trailers (for African markets), skeletal liquid tankers, self-unloading tankers.

4. Safety and Maintenance

1. ‌Operational Standards‌

• Grounding during loading/unloading to dissipate static electricity via discharge rods.

• Regular cleaning of tanks and piping systems, inspection of safety valves and filters.

2. ‌Failure Prevention‌

• Monitor kingpin wear and pipeline sealing to prevent leaks caused by vibration during transport
