About Asphalt & Hot Oil Tank Semitrailers

Asphalt and hot oil tank semitrailers transport scorching hot liquids, often anywhere from 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (149 to 260 Celsius) in massive tanks designed to maintain the temperature-sensitive shipment from loading to delivery. The stainless steel or aluminum tanks include thick insulation for long-term heat retention when transporting liquid asphalt, hot oil, and other materials in bulk. Many asphalt and hot oil tank semitrailers also include heating capabilities to maintain a temperature range from the factory to a distribution center or jobsite.

Etnyre 7250 Asphalt Transport Semitrailer

Configurations Available

Tank semitrailers in this category are available in two- to five-axle configurations, depending on the size of their tanks, which often range from around 3,000 to 8,000 gallons (11,356 to 30,283 liters). Tanks may contain a single compartment or be divided into two or three compartments, which let haulers transport different types of asphalt or hot oil. Multiple lines and valves, which often include a large rear discharge gate valve and internal pump-off or suction line, allow operators to quickly load and unload liquid from the tank. In some cases, optional pumps with higher discharge rates might be available.

Temperature Control

Modern asphalt and hot oil tank semitrailers have one or more thick layers of thermal insulation to maintain the desired temperature. Insulation layers are typically constructed of high-density fiberglass, polyurethane foam, rock wool, or a mix of materials, all covered by a thick stainless steel or aluminum jacket. Asphalt and hot oil tank semitrailer heating systems can include heaters that burn coal or diesel fuel or can run on electricity; the heater warms tubes or coils installed outside the tank to increase temperature as necessary. One manufacturer, Etnyre, uses internal burners to keep asphalt transported in its tankers hot. Asphalt and hot oil semitrailers are also commonly equipped with temperature-resistant lines and valves designed to withstand the hot temperatures of transported liquids.
