Identify this Trailer!

The trailer is a 12,000 gallon tridem West-Mark tanker after doing some research, it's an arctic use vacuum trailer (Prudhoe Bay Oil Field) and the back section has a hydraulically driven coolant heater.

 

Like I said, there are tons of them up north. I want to say they call them super suckers. I know some of them, when one of us has to deliver a new one, is tail heavy, so a guy better like chaining up.

 

Nothing 'I'VE' ever seen/heard of... color me intrigued~!

 

THANK YOU for the info. Curiosity got me..

 

Something like this .....



Has it’s own furnace and or a agitation system depending on how it’s spec’d . The company that has them around me drops them loaded at plants and grabs the mt and rolls......


Mainly rubberized specially stuff.......

 

Wow... very nice. I'd be darn happy to pull one of those... interesting~! Thanx, btw...

 

The Grant County Road Department here in Washington state has at least 2 of those. They are 10,000 gallon capacity. They have 4-11,000 gallon transport sets of trailers that the company I drive for is contracted to haul around every summer. We use the sets to haul asphalt oil out to the big trailer then they pump off the transport into the heated trailer then pump off that into their sprayer trucks when they are chip sealing the county roads.

 

Never seen one here in Ohio, and I'd hauled asphalt (hot) around the state for 5 years... nice.

 

Kinda like the Porta-Bin for dry bulk....often called pigs, holds 4 - 5 trailer loads to feed the mill.
