How it differs
Difference from a chemical tanker: optimised for fuel logistics and dangerous-goods rules, not a universal chemical tank

Buildable configurations
What can be specified on this product, and what each choice changes. Combinations are confirmed by engineering against your axle-load limits and destination regulations before they are quoted.
Compartment Layout
Multi-compartment
Multiple compartments separate fuel grades and reduce liquid surge
Best for: multi-product delivery and multi-stop routes
If omitted: a single compartment is simpler and uses volume more efficiently, but cannot segregate different products.
On our sample Number of Compartments 5–6 compartments
Changes: Number of Compartments, Reference Tare Weight, Reference Payload, Discharge Outlet / Line
Confirmed at inquiry: Confirm volume split, materials, thickness design basis, cleaning and transfer connections
Tank Material
Aluminium
Aluminium tank reduces tare weight and increases payload with good corrosion resistance
Best for: petroleum transport prioritising payload and fuel economy
If omitted: steel may cost less and be easier to repair locally, but weighs more.
On our sample Reference Tare Weight 4,800–6,100 kg
Changes: Reference Tare Weight, Reference Payload, Tank Material Grade
Confirmed at inquiry: Confirm volume split, materials, thickness design basis, cleaning and transfer connections

What you can verify before ordering
The plant is ours
Ask for a live walk-through of the welding line, the blasting chamber and the paint booth on the day you call. A trading company cannot do this on request.
Engineers answer, not a sales desk
Configuration questions are answered by the engineering team. If an answer needs a calculation, you get the calculation.
Vessels are certified by third parties
Pressure tests are witnessed and the certificate carries the chassis number of the unit, so it can be matched to the trailer that arrives.
Drawings are kept on file
The approved general arrangement drawing is archived against your chassis number for the life of the unit, which is what makes a spare part orderable years later.
Export paperwork is in house
Invoice, origin certificate, chassis number list and test certificates are issued by our own export desk, so a correction takes hours rather than a week.
Repeat batches stay identical
A follow-on order is built from the drawing you already approved, so parts interchange across your fleet instead of nearly fitting.
Other variants in this category
Same platform, different body or duty. Worth comparing before you settle on one.
Send your drawing or your load case
A sales engineer confirms the specification for this product against your route, axle-load limits and destination regulations, then returns a drawing and a delivered price.
