<p>[QUOTE="Sportster2000, post: 9481895, member: 13193"]Let me start off with I have never messed with a tank trailer. All of this is new to me. Work has tasked me with finding a tank trailer. Requirements are that it has to be a smooth bore, no baffles. Must be able to hit 80,000 gross weight with truck and with water in it on a 5 axle combination. Truck weights in the 20k to 22k weight. I'm not even sure what is available for unloading and loading. None of our trucks have PTO's on them for a transfer pump so that is out. Guessing it will have to be a gravity drain. Also, I have no intentions of unloading it once it is full of water to the weight that work wants. Problem with that is winter time and freezing. I guess help me spec a trailer and/or lead me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
