What type of tanker is this?

[pugs]

Cause of their shape they are called cement pigs, atleast around here.

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..
