Apr. 07, 2023

According to the type of goods transported, tank semi-trailers can be subdivided into the following categories:
1, liquid tanker: transporting gasoline, kerosene, diesel, vegetable oil, edible oil, heavy oil, coal tar and acid and alkali, water, alcohol, aldehyde, benzene, ether and other liquid substances;
2, powder tanker: transport bulk cement, flour, rock flour, coal dust, chemical powder particles and other bulk dry materials with a particle diameter of ≤ 0.1mm.
3、Gas tanker: transporting nitrogen, argon, LPG and other gas-type goods;
4、Pellet tanker: mainly transporting grain, beans, granular plastic and other granular goods;
5、Other special tankers: such as concrete mixers, watering trucks, sweepers, etc.
According to the tank semi-trailer container pressure can be divided into:
1, low-pressure tanker: the tank body to withstand the internal pressure is generally below 0.09Mpa, mainly loaded with water, light fuel, etc;
2, medium-pressure tanker: the internal pressure of the tank is generally 0.147-0.294Mpa, mainly transporting caustic soda, asphalt, etc;
3, high-pressure tanker: the internal pressure of the tank body is generally 1.177-3.532Mpa.
Advantages of tank semi-trailer:
1、High efficiency of loading and unloading transportation
Transporting goods through the tank is convenient for centralized loading and unloading, which can shorten the stopping time of the vehicle due to the loading and unloading of goods and improve the transportation efficiency.
2、Protection of goods.
Tanks are generally airtight containers, the transport process of goods by the outside world is relatively small, not easy to produce pollution, leakage or deterioration.
3, high degree of cargo safety.
Especially in the transport of some explosive, flammable, toxic or corrosive goods, tank transport can greatly reduce the occurrence of accidents, improve transportation, loading and unloading safety.
4, saving packaging materials.
The use of tank transport does not require packaging of goods, packaging materials and costs can be saved, reducing transport costs;
5, reduce labor intensity
Tank transport loading and unloading is highly mechanized, without multiple loading and unloading, does not require excessive human involvement, can greatly reduce manpower consumption.
6, reduce environmental pollution.
Especially when transporting goods prone to dust, particles or other harmful substances, through the tank transport can greatly reduce the loading and unloading and pollution in the transport process, significantly improve working conditions.
Tank semi-trailer transport volume is larger, generally in more than 24t, the specific need to be determined according to the model, chassis, top configuration, etc. Luen axles specializing in the production of various types of semi-trailer axles / axles for more than twenty years, its disc axles, drum axles, low-profile axles, light trailer axles and other products, size specifications can accept custom, strength, toughness, ductility and other performance has been fully tested by the market. The strength, toughness, ductility and other properties have been fully tested by the market, so that you can rest assured and save your mind.
