Introduction of Vehicle Master Aluminum Tankers for Sale
Aluminum tankers has been the development trend for tanker trailers in recent years. It’s because of their light weight, high transportation capacity, attractive investment income, low cost per ton kilometer, fuel saving and environmental protection, low failure rate, extended service life, long corrosion resistance life, safety and reliability, strong mechanical performance, and many other advantages. However, most of tankers in China are made of steel, which means the percentage of aluminum made tankers is comparably lower than tankers made of other material due to the price factor of raw materials. Meanwhile, aluminum tankers account for 74% in European and American countries, and their market share in Japan accounts for more than 90%.
Today's Trend of Vehicle Master Aluminum Tankers for Sale
Tanker trailers are the main vehicle equipment for transportation on land, especially van semi-trailer. With the rapid development of logistics business in recent years, tanker trailers have revealed many advantages such as high loading capacity and specialization and fast transportation. Driven by social and economic factors such as energy conservation and environmental protection, they have been widely used.
Today, when most trailers need to be lightweight, aside from achieving this goal with the axle and more scientific structural design, choice of material is another perspective to consider. At present, most trailers use high-strength steel, but if you want to achieve the ultimate lightweight design, aluminum is the best choice for trailer parts.
Advantages of Vehicle Master Aluminum Tankers for Sale
When considering how to accomplish light weight, aluminum tankers will always come to people’s mind. According to market statistics, the lightest trailer can be more than three tons. Tankers with weight less than ordinary trailers can load heavier goods and improve the benefit of owners, which is also the most beneficial advantage of aluminum tankers.
In addition to the light weight, what are some other advantages that make aluminum tankers so attractive?
High Strength
Aluminum tanker body has high strength. Under normal load conditions, the aluminum tanker body can fully meet the needs of use. Just like other types of trailers, the load should not exceed maximum capacity.
Less Deformation
As we all know, aluminum has very good elasticity and durability. There is very little deformation when an aluminum tanker is fully loaded, but once goods has been unloaded it will return to its original state.
Wear-resistance
The body is very wear-resistant. There are certain differences between the use of aluminum tankers and ordinary steel made tankers. For the suspension of aluminum tankers, Vehicle Master has made wear-resistant treatment. A steel plate is used as the anti-wear design between the leaf spring and the sliding block to avoid direct friction between the aluminum body and the leaf spring. When loading goods, it is necessary to pay attention to avoid scratch to the surface of the trailer caused by hard goods.
Corrosion resistance
The aluminum material will not be corroded by concentrated acid or alkali. There will be a passive film on the contact surface. However, diluted acid and alkali will still cause corrosion, which is also related to the composition of aluminum alloy.
Heat Resistance
The heat resistance of aluminum tanker is relatively poor. The melting point of aluminum alloy is only about 600 ℃ so it will melt if the temperature is higher than that. There will be no problem for normal loading, but in special cases, it is still necessary to pay attention to possible damage of high temperature to the tanker such as when welding needs to be done.
Conclusion of Vehicle Master Aluminum Tankers for Sale
Compared with steel tankers, aluminum tankers can effectively improve capacity and transportation efficiency. In addition, loading goods of the same weight and operating in the same route, aluminum tanker achieves excellent fuel economy due to its light weight. Moreover, since aluminum alloy has low melting point, it’s easier to re-melt and recycle, increase added value, and reduce consumption, which makes it green and environmentally friendly.
