Bulk Tanker with loading hopper in rear question.

Hello All.
I have plenty of experience with a bulk tank that you load via the manholes on top so I've got that part covered.

Tomorrow I have an interview at a company that has the bulk tanks that have the cylindrical hopper on the rear and I was wondering how they work or how complex they are to use compared to just loading through the top and unloading.

I assume the hopper on the rear is used for vacuum loading as opposed to loading through the top.

Thank you!

I've done so many different things except for that one thing lol. It's just that new job interview anxiety. haha.

I did check You Tube but i couldn't find anything about loading in that particular way but Thank You for the suggestion.

Take care.

I'm actually pulling cryogenic tankers currently but ty for asking.

I never did play with one of those bulk tanks with the hopper on the back but maybe someday I will.

I know AR has a ton of them.

Take care.

I almost got that position. I've operated plenty of bulk tanks over the years but I've never operated one with the little round hopper thing on the back. From what I understand it's for loading in an alternative manner as opposed to loading into the manholes on top. Something like a vacuum I've heard. I have no idea if that's true.

Forever curious though.

Take care!

 

Thank you! Curiosity settled!
