THE FLEXIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO HAULING NON-HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
Flexible solutions for your liquid storage needs. TRUCK MOUNTED TANK is essentially a strong, safe, puncture resistant, multiply, fabric tire cord supported rubber tank. It is very similar in construction to the tires on your car or truck. Originally developed for the military, it has been in use commercially for over 30 years, hauled millions of miles and are DOT approved for up to class 9 hazardous materials.

TRUCK MOUNTED TANK gives you, the operator, exposure to new markets and loads. They give any flat deck, trailer or van the ability to increase productivity by allowing them to haul their normal dry cargo and return home with a liquid haul. You can now haul raw liquid materials to a customer and take away his finished product. TRUCK MOUNTED TANK is loaded under pressure which fills the tank walls to make them almost rigid, which eliminates surge when hauling. Many drivers have commented that a loaded TRUCK MOUNTED TANK is more stable than other types of containerized lading in transit.

Operating service temperatures range from -30°F to +105°F.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The tanks are closed at each end with flexible end clamps. The construction is spiral wrapped, which allows the tank to resemble a flexible spiral column. This allows the tank to provide an even distribution of the load and stress during transportation.

The Nylon based fabric is covered by a synthetic rubberized coating, so it is really resistant. TRUCK MOUNTED TANK can also be provided with an FDA approved liner for hauling food grade materials.

TECHNICAL ASPECT
TRUCK MOUNTED TANK is pressurized from 3 to 7 PSI with the lading And leaves no air space. This eliminates the drying of the product in transit, as well as easing clean up and maintenance times. At the point of delivery, the tank can be unloaded by gravity or it can be pumped out. The empty tank is then rolled up, which forces all the remaining product out.

BENEFITS OF TRUCK MOUNTED TANK
Today, over 2 million miles are hauled yearly with this unique product. Hauling liquids in one direction and finished goods in the back haul with the tank liners makes you more than competitive. They provide an unequaled competitive advantage to the innovative owner / operator.

Latex paint, Liquid latex, Paper cements, Water, Roofing slurry, Lubricating oils, Phenol formaldehyde resin, Styrene polymer ( type b resin), Urea formaldehyde resin, Food grade materials, Plywood glues, Liquid fertilizer, Fruit juices, Inks and many other products.
