About Vacuum Tank Semitrailers

EXA 200 BBL Aluminum Vacuum Tank Trailer

Sometimes referred to as “vacuum tankers,” vacuum tank semitrailers are similar in functionality to vacuum tank trucks but have much higher hauling capacities. They are equipped with enormous, typically cylindrical tanks constructed of aluminum, carbon steel, or stainless steel and use vacuum suction to fill the tank with huge quantities of liquids, sludges, and other materials in the construction, waste management, restaurant, livestock, and mining industries, among others. 

These trailers’ tanks are often lined with a thin interior layer of epoxy, ceramic, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) material for added protection against the animal waste, chemicals, wastewater, sewage, mud, septic tank buildup, grease, or other hazardous and non-hazardous materials they transport. Tank capacities can reach 10,000 gallons (38,000 liters), although many trailers max out at a little over half of that amount.

Common Components

Vacuum tank semitrailers are often equipped with a combination of pumping equipment, suction hoses, discharge valves, blowout connections, piping, drains, and motors or power take-off (PTO) systems for loading and unloading material from grease traps, treatment plants, manholes, drilling sites, and environmental spill sites. 

In addition, these trailers are often equipped with manways, ladders, rear entry walkways, and stairs for easy, safe operator access. Hose trays, air ride and spring suspensions, stiffening rings, and tandem or tridem rear axles are also common.
