23 May, 2025

Oil tank semi-trailer is a specialized vehicle for transporting fuel and crude oil, equipped with a sealed tank body and safety protection system, which meets the standards for dangerous goods transportation and can safely and efficiently complete liquid fuel distribution tasks.

Application areas of oil tanker semi-trailer:

Petroleum logistics: transportation of diesel, gasoline, and aviation fuel.

Chemical transportation: acids, solvents, and liquid fertilizers.

Food grade oils: edible oil, molasses, and biodiesel.

Industrial use: Asphalt, liquid cement, and thermal oil.

The material of the tank body of the oil tank semi-trailer needs to be selected according to the transportation medium.

Carbon steel has high strength and low cost, suitable for ordinary liquids such as diesel, but requires anti-corrosion treatment; 

Stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for chemicals and food grade liquids, but its price is relatively high; 

Aluminum alloy has the advantage of lightweight, which can reduce fuel consumption, but the cost is relatively high, and it is mostly used in the high-end transportation market.
