Tank semitrailers integrate what are commonly long, cylindrical liquid storage containers on wheels. These trailer types are characterized by the purpose they’re designed to serve, which is to transport liquids and gasses in bulk. Although models vary depending on the manufacturer, tank trailers are usually constructed of aluminum, stainless steel, or carbon steel.

The new and used tank trailers listed for sale on TruckPaper.com are highly specialized equipment, and as such, they are subdivided into more than a dozen subcategories according to the payload type. Notably, rarely can a specific type of tank trailer be used for more than one purpose without modifications being made.

Wet vs. Dry Tank Semitrailers

A notable difference between the types of cargo that trailers in the dry bulk and liquid bulk transport industries are used to haul is that transporting liquid bulk cargo tends to be much more expensive. Additionally, there are many strict regulations concerning the transport of liquid bulk cargo that don’t affect the dry bulk transport industry. Another reality that other trailer types don’t encounter that tank trailers do is that there is commonly a measurable amount of residue left in a tank trailer after it has been unloaded, which requires washing the trailer out before the next load can be hauled.
