Use Cases
Ideally suited for the logistics of volatile liquids, this petrol tanker semi-trailer is used to transport diesel, gasoline, crude oil, and aviation fuel safely across long distances. Its spark-proof nature makes it the preferred choice for hazardous chemical transport and fuel supply to service stations where safety and high-volume delivery are paramount.

Detailed Description
The Aluminum Alloy Fuel Tanker Trailer is constructed from high-grade 5083 or 5454 aluminum alloy, which is lighter than traditional carbon steel, significantly reducing tare weight to boost your 40t Payload capacity. The tank's precise 48,500L Volume (48.5m³) is designed with internal anti-wave baffles to ensure stability during transport, while the corrosion-resistant nature of aluminum ensures the tank remains rust-free, maintaining fuel purity for high-quality deliveries. This road tanker is perfect for operators looking to reduce fuel consumption and tire wear while maximizing profit per trip.
Our trailers are built on a robust chassis featuring 3 Axles from premium brands like BPW, FUWA, or ZW, paired with durable 12R22.5 Tires and a heavy-duty mechanical or air suspension system to handle rough road conditions. The exterior requires no painting due to aluminum's natural finish, but we offer customized painting and logo services to match your fleet. Advanced safety features, including API discharge valves, anti-static grounding systems, and emergency shut-off valves, are standard, ensuring full compliance with international safety regulations for dangerous goods transport.
Quality is our top priority. Every diesel transport trailer undergoes strict Production Process controls, including X-ray flaw detection for welds and a rigorous Water Pressure & Sealing Test to guarantee zero leaks. Before delivery, the trailer is protected with a thick layer of wax and waterproof packaging to prevent seawater corrosion during bulk ship or RORO transport. We also offer compartment customization (1 to 7 sections) to allow the simultaneous transport of different liquid types, such as petrol and diesel, in a single trip.

FAQ
Product FAQ
Q1: What are the main advantages of an aluminum fuel tanker over a carbon steel one?
A1: Aluminum tankers are significantly lighter, allowing for a higher payload (more fuel per trip). They also have excellent corrosion resistance, meaning they don't rust and have a longer service life (15-20 years) compared to steel, ensuring higher resale value.
Q2: Can I transport different types of fuel in one trailer?
A2: Yes, we can customize the tank with multiple compartments (e.g., 3 to 7 sections). This allows you to transport diesel, gasoline, and other fluids separately in the same shipment without cross-contamination.
Q3: Is the 48,500L capacity fixed, or can it be changed?
A3: While 48,500L is a popular specification, we are a manufacturer and can customize the volume from 30,000L up to 90,000L according to your local road regulations and needs.
Q4: How do you ensure the safety of the tanker during transport?
A4: Our trailers are equipped with emergency bottom valves (shut-off valves), anti-static grounding tapes, and explosion-proof manhole covers. The aluminum material itself is non-sparking, which is a critical safety feature for flammable liquid transport.
Q5: What is the delivery time and shipping method?
A5: Production typically takes 20-30 days. For shipping, we use Bulk Cargo, RORO ships, or Flat Rack containers, ensuring the trailer is waxed and covered to prevent damage during transit.
