Talking What type of tanker is this?
Does anyone know what type of tanker this is?
Since tankers are my favorite trailer, this could be a future project for me



Thanx, Big John

pneumatic - uses air pressure to load/unload product, like cement powder or limestone.

SweetPeteWrecker has one similar, custom made. Pics to be seen in the East Coast Minitruckers club meet pics.

It's a dry bulk tanker, however I have pulled liquid in one before (Not Fun)...

Just so happens I pull two of them around every day.




Funny I just looked at which trailer I have on my sig picture...

I've seen SweetPeteWrecker's trailer, and it is very nice.

Also I see them delivering flour to bakeries. I always wonder if they clean out the tank before making the switch from cement to baking flour.

That is a pretty cool build. any other info on it? It looks like the trailer was built from a small muffler, that's a good idea if it was.

Brian
Built from a muffler is kinda what I was thinking.
I was surfing the web, and came across a website from Italy I believe Brian.
I'll see if I can find it again, and if I do, i'll see what I can find out.

Anything that is dry and bulky can be hauled in these trailers. I haul cement, Fly Ash, Lime (3/8 or less rock), Soda Ash, Sodium Bicarb, I have hauled salt (both road and table), dog food, powdered animal byproducts, flour, barley, corn, rice, rice hulls, the list goes on and on, and like I said I have even hauled liquid fertilizer in them.. Very versatile trailers. You don't even need to use air to unload, I have hauled coal in them before and had to drop the bottoms (open the bottom hatch) and let it fall out. I love these things just one drawback to them... DUST mainly in the truck, not much you can do about it..

Cool Trailer, but that is a Liquid trailer. A petroleum tanker not a pneumatic.
