tanker trailer

I'll start off with saying that i dont have any "hands on" info about these tankers. I have looked at a few to buy for the company i work for and they are nice. The one problem i dont like about them is the sight tube on the rear. That kinda limits the product you can haul to pretty much clean water. Thats my opinion anyhow. Maybe thats what you are going to do with it.? I've mostly used Arco, Polar, and my current wagon, Progress. All of which have float operated gauges. I also dont care much for the 4'' unload on the rear. Because vacuum trailers dont just pump clean virgin product, like sludge, dirty water, tank bottoms. So all of ours have 6'' unload and that helps a ton with washing out unwanted debris. Like i said, this is just my opinion based on what i've ran into over the years and you may already know all of this and i just waisted both of our lives. LOL

 

I have run them in the past. The sight tube will not limit what you can haul. I have used them for oil based mud and they clean up with no problems.

 

Someone correct me if im wrong, you wont be hauling any kind of Haz-Mat load in these trailers with plastic sight tubes on the rear. Therefor, it does limit what can "legally" be transported in them. The OP is hauling spetic waste which is basically just nasty water, so probably fine for that. In my opinion, that tube can fail way to easily can cause a VERY big problem, even with just clean tap water spilling out the rear. I can see the 5'oclock news report now....

 

Yes you are wrong. A plastic sight tube will not mean you cannot haul hazmat. You can actually close it off for things like caustic or other corrosive products. Petroleum based loads are not effected by the sight glass.

 

Caustic and other corrosive products in an aluminum tanker?? Cool, let us all know how well that works out for you.

 

Didn't read all the ad...yeah acid not a good idea lol.
