Use Cases
Commonly used for plant-to-site asphalt delivery and road paving projects, this tanker (also searched as a bitumen trailer or tar tanker) delivers heated asphalt from mixing plants to paving crews with segregated compartments for multiple batches. Ideal for municipal roadworks and private contractors who require precise compartment volumes and safe discharge for on-site heating and pumping.

Detailed Description
This 3-axle stainless steel asphalt tanker is engineered around a Q355B longitudinal beam and a multi-compartment tank (factory example: 5 compartments, nominal 45,000 L) with tank plate thickness ~5 mm and head thickness ~6 mm to withstand thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The T-section stringers, 6 mm web and 12 mm lower wing at critical zones provide structural stiffness; ZW 13T axles ×3 give a strong axle rating (gross axle rating ~39 t — final payload depends on tractor, chassis options and national limits). Top features include factory standard hoarding walkway, manual foldable handrails, non-slip back ladder, static grounding reels and fire extinguishers to meet safe heated-asphalt handling requirements.
This trailer includes practical discharge and service fittings: factory-matched discharge pipe boxes, two 3″ × 6 m discharge pipes (example), 5 manhole covers, 6 pairs of brake chambers and mechanical suspension for reliable on-road performance. Highly customizable — compartment volumes, heating coils or insulation, valve types, tow pin size (2″ or 3.5″), color and additional accessories (toolbox, spare rack, protective guards) can be adjusted per buyer specification to optimize payload distribution and site workflow.
