I see a yard full of em out where I work. Only see one on the road occasionally. What do they haul in these?
What is this trailer used for?

It's a liquid storage tank on wheels..... I'm having a senior moment on the name..... Maybe frac tank
They haul them around mt and use them for temp on site storage on construction projects...canadianredneck Thanks this. -
I live in the Marcellus region, when drilling was going strong I used to see a ton of those trailers running around. They were red with the company name "Adler" on them. I always wondered WTH they were also.

Yes frac. Or to put liquid manure type products in so the trucks keep running. Then a Terra Gator or pull tank pulls out of them and plows it in the ground.
Transport truck has a wench behind cab to pick up front and pull it on 5th wheel.
Water or liquid benite clay for drilling or whats pumped out.austinmike Thanks this. -

austinmike Thanks this. -
That about covers it. Nothing is hauled in them. They are delivered to the locations empty, used for storage, then emptied before being moved. (And it can be hard on a driver's record to move them, as they are frequently lacking in adequate maintenance, i.e. tires, lights, etc.) I saw one this morning on the side of the road with two DOT units behind it. They are DOT magnets.
canadianredneck and Cottonmouth85 Thank this. -
Thanks for the replies. now I'm a little more edumacated -

Some company men also use them as sewage tanks. All the trailers on site have their sewer systems plumbed to the tank.
But all the other uses are above.... -
lol...500 bbl to boot...non pressurized. Can be tied in tandem with hoses to increase storage cap.
