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.
