Tanks on a flatbed

Uhoh. Did his driver have his tanker endorsement?

 

They use those all the time up here to deliver the DEF fluid. He may have the wrong type of plastic tank. Some are more brittle than others in the cold weather. Don't go cheap on them.

 

Common in agriculture.

 

There are tanks for shipping fish where we are. Not far from 40 there are very large fish farms. Flat bad, tanker and then oxygen etc. for them.

Even if you had a van trailer with chemical tubs in cages you are now a tanker and so on.

A proper tanker might have been excessively expensive, large and unnecessary for much more than 3000 gallons. It's a nice load. Sometimes flatbedding it better for a variety of reasons. Esepcially if you have to have support equiptment to keep the fish alive.

 

We see a fair amount of it in our area, for a limited portion of the year.
Yes usually Ag. And mostly limited to ? Probably 2 suppliers. But also some construction.
In our area two reasons make it the way to go, other required support equipment and multiple products, not always all liquid. And amount of or limited amount use throughout the year, they can then use the flat for other work, either general freight, or chain the gravity bins to it to move grain or seed or???? Very versatile, yes still need endorsements, and the better tanks are pretty tough, usually seem to hold up well??

 

I have seen these before. Around here they are usually a short flatbed. The one I saw last week looked like it used to be part of a set of doubles with the pintle hitch and air valves on the back.

 

What is this AG product?

Obviously, Its not harmful....Hoping it wasn't a chemical like liquid that would "Eat" away when it splashed on stuff.....

If it was like water, Heck I woulda just picked up the broken pieces and Drove away- No harm No Foul
