Polar Deep Drop Stainless Steel Tank Trailer

You’ll find more than a dozen types of tank semitrailers for sale on TruckPaper.com, including waste and sludge tank trailers. As their name suggests, these trailers are used to haul massive quantities of industrial waste. Constructed of aluminum, stainless steel, or carbon steel, these trailers are sometimes used to transport liquid manure to farm fields for spreading, to remove wastewater from water treatment plants, and to haul sludge away from chicken-processing plants. They are also occasionally used for temporary storage. Tank capacities generally range from 1,500 to 14,000 gallons (5,700 to 53,000 liters).

Characteristics & Components

Waste and sludge tank semitrailers are commonly equipped with spring or air ride suspensions and tandem or tridem rear axles. Although many of these tanks have one compartment, there are those on the market with multiple, baffled compartments that help to minimize the surging of material during transport for easier, safer handling. Access features commonly include a variety of manholes, ladders, and walkways, and loading and unloading are usually accomplished using a combination of rear discharge systems, center-fill and rear pumps, valves, and hoses. Some trailers on the market may also include rear and/or front agitation nozzles and a boom offload system with hydraulic or remote controls. Some are sold without such a boom system but can be retrofitted to use one.
