In July, a client from Senegal contacted us, looking to purchase five fuel tanker semi-trailers to transport fuel for their gas station. A friend of theirs had previously purchased a mixer truck from our company and had been using it for over a year without any issues. So, they contacted us, and we recommended the 3 Axles 50 CBM Fuel Tanker Semi-Trailer, which met their needs perfectly. Furthermore, we had a promotion in July, so the price was very reasonable. The client was very satisfied with both the configuration and the price. After confirming the details, they quickly paid the deposit, and we quickly arranged production for them.
Based on previous experience with exports to Senegal, bolts were used instead of traditional welding to connect the tanker’s body and frame. Bolted connections allow for quick assembly and disassembly, facilitating replacement of damaged components or adjustments to the chassis structure. Welding repairs require specialized equipment and can be affected by thermal deformation, affecting precision. Welding residual stress can reduce the bearing capacity of compressive components, while bolted connections, through preload control, allow for more precise load distribution. Rigid connections in semi-unibody construction also help share some structural loads.
To speed up fuel loading and unloading, we equipped our customers with a diesel pump. This pump maintains constant oil pressure through a closed-loop control system, ensuring flow errors are within rated values during loading and unloading, avoiding the flow fluctuations associated with traditional gravity flow. It also maximizes fuel flow and improves unloading efficiency. The conductive material of the pump body and the grounding wire linkage system keep static electricity accumulation below 50V, complying with ATEX explosion-proof standards and significantly improving safety during fuel loading and unloading.
Because the capacity of this tanker semi-trailer reaches 50CBM, the load capacity is also greatly increased. In order to improve its load-bearing capacity, we use 16mm thick reinforced steel rims for customers. Compared with the ordinary 12mm steel rims, although the cost is slightly higher, the load-bearing capacity is greatly improved, which can fully meet the load-bearing requirements of 50CBM tanker trucks. In addition, we also use FUWA’s 16-ton heavy-duty version of the axle. The combination of the two has made a qualitative leap in the overall load-bearing performance of this tanker semi-trailer, ensuring smooth and safe driving even when fully loaded.
