Carbon steel Oil tanker semi trailer

Heavy-Duty 3 Axle Configuration

3 Axle Carbon Steel Tanker Semi Trailer – Reliable Fuel Transport Solution

Introduction

ZW Group 45000-liter fuel tanker is a semi-trailer designed for the bulk transportation of flammable liquids.

The tank body is constructed from high-tensile Q345B carbon steel, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to deformation and corrosion.

The tank's elliptical cross-section is a deliberate engineering choice, lowering the center of gravity to enhance stability during transit, especially when negotiating turns and uneven terrain.

The internal structure is reinforced with a series of anti-wave baffle plates, strategically placed to dampen the surge of liquid, thereby minimizing dynamic loads on the chassis and improving overall vehicle control.

The trailer is available in both a 3-axle configuration for standard payloads and a 4-axle version for increased load capacity and optimized weight distribution, catering to diverse regional regulations and operational requirements. Every component, from the main beam to the smallest valve, is selected to create reliable system.

Production Process & Quality Control

Our manufacturing process combines cutting-edge technology with skilled craftsmanship. It includes:

  1. CNC Plasma Cutting: Precise cutting of steel plates for accuracy.

  2. Automatic Plate Rolling: Forming the tank body with consistent curvature.

  3. Advanced Seam Welding: Automated welding ensures strong, leak-proof seams.

  4. Tank Assembly & Baffle Installation: Perfect alignment and welding of compartments and baffles.

  5. Chassis Construction: Building a robust frame to support the tank.

  6. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): X-ray and ultrasonic tests on weld seams to guarantee integrity.

  7. System Installation: Fitting of axles, suspension, braking, and piping systems.

  8. Painting & Finishing: Multi-layer coating for maximum protection.

Load & Safety Testing

Before leaving our factory, every fuel tanker undergoes rigorous testing:

  • Hydrostatic Test (Water Pressure Test): The tank is filled with water and pressurized to detect any potential leaks.

  • Air Tightness Test: Ensures all valves and connections are perfectly sealed.

  • Weld Seam Inspection: NDT ensures there are no hidden defects in the welds.

  • Braking and Stability Road Test: A final check on the trailer's performance and safety on the road.
