Tanker bros is there anyway to fix this?

That thing is junk. Not from the bowed in, but the amount of pitting and corrosion.

99.5 % of shippers I load at would reject that trailer for loading.

 

Yea, you can cut it up for scrap, sell said scrap and use it as a down payment on a new one. Thats about the only way to fix it. Every single oil place i used to haul for when i did oil would have rejected that trailer no arguments to be had.

 

Did you do that?

 

The condition appears like it wouldn't pass internal inspection and thickness test as it has obviously transported materials corrosive to the barrel.

A handful of pitts could be welded but not all that damage.

Otherwise the vacuum damage could be blown out and repaired IF the barrel was worth the expense.

Because a ASME shop with an "R" stamp is required to make any barrel repairs; it would be cheaper to re-barrel if you have deep pockets or some strange attachment to this wagon.

Look for a farmer in need of a large culvert -or- a construction outfit looking for an off-road water trailer.

 

There's no way to fix that. The integrity is compromised

 

If @local16 isn't gonna haul products that require SS do you think it would be cheaper to repair the existing barrel and then install a liner, rather that re-barrel with SS?

 

A 'spec' repair using an ASME shop would be close to a re-barrel and linings are expensive and wouldn't be applied over those pitts.

Cut the imploded rings, blow it back out and restore the ring geometry and integrity then cut out the pitted areas and roll replacements and weld it all up would run a lot of time, material and labor.

Requires the same deep pockets as a re-barrel.

That's why I suggested off-road non-pressure use like a construction water tanker a use without repair....

 

A farmer would probably buy it to haul liquid fertilizer, 32, 28, etc. Not worth much though
