Recently, a customer from Kenya contacted us on a friend’s recommendation. The customer wanted to purchase an oil tanker truck, so we discussed the fuel tanker truck’s configuration with him, including the tank body material, tires, engine, gearbox, and other components. We also confirmed the truck’s price and lead time with the customer. After that, we recommended the 8×4 371HP HOWO TX Oil Tanker Truck to him, which fully met all his requirements.Subsequently, the customer placed an order with us promptly. A few days ago, the fuel tanker truck arrived at the port in Kenya. The customer successfully picked up the truck, which was quickly put into operation. He commented that the truck ran smoothly and expressed great satisfaction with it, adding that he intends to continue cooperating with us in the future.
To make sure the oil tanker truck could run stably even in the harsh environment, the fuel tanker truck is equipped with the TRIANGLE brand 12.00R20 tires.TRIANGLE Brand 12.00R20 TR668 is an all steel radial tire designed for medium to short haul heavy duty trucks, featuring strong adaptability, durability, quiet operation, and excellent heat dissipation as its core advantages. This tire employs a triple folded groove pattern design, effectively handling mixed road conditions such as national highways, urban rural roads, and construction sites while reducing slippage risks. With a tread width of 313mm, it provides moderate ground contact for smoother handling while resisting stone retention and debris buildup, minimizing performance degradation from groove clogging. The variable pitch tread pattern significantly reduces road noise during operation, enhancing driving comfort. This tire is well suited for urban routes with noise restrictions and helps alleviate noise fatigue during extended drives.
According to the customer’s requirement, the oil tanker truck is fitted with the vehicle Fuel Dispenser.Vehicle mounted fuel dispensers are mobile refueling units installed on fuel transport vehicles such as tank trucks and fuel trucks. Powered by the vehicle’s chassis battery, they enable fuel pumping, metering, and mobile sales functions, suitable for various fuels including gasoline and diesel. Installation typically includes automatic retractable hose reels and fuel nozzles as standard equipment for mobile fuel trucks. These configurations can be customized according to customer requirements.
When shipping oil tank trucks, we occasionally make use of flat rack containers. A flat rack is a purpose built container engineered for moving oversized cargo that is overly long, wide, tall, or heavy. It is basically a standard container with the top and side panels removed; some even have no end walls, leaving only the base and four corner stanchions. This structural configuration provides outstanding flexibility for loading and unloading, overcoming the constraint of conventional containers that can only be loaded and unloaded via the front access doors. By firmly securing the equipment to the frame during transit, we guarantee it reaches its destination in complete and undamaged condition.
