Bakercorp BAKER DOUBLE WALL TANK

The register lists 3 versions with kerb weights from 11,540 to 15,910 kg, a uniform gross weight of 22,000 kg, lengths from 11,210 to 12,450 mm and a uniform width of 2,520 mm.

With a uniform gross weight of 22,000 kg, the range falls into EU trailer category O4 and therefore has to carry air brakes; the tow vehicle required is a tractor unit with licence category CE. Unlike most semi-trailers of this weight class, tank trailers for rental are not primarily about long-haul transport but about standing in one place on construction sites or industrial premises for weeks or months at a time; accordingly, alongside chassis type approval, what matters most is the regular inspection of the tank, valves and earthing under the relevant national rules for stationary containers holding water-hazardous or chemical contents.

Tank trailers of this kind serve the temporary storage and transport of liquids on construction sites and industrial premises, for example as a double-wall version for environmental protection or as a mix tank for process liquids. BakerCorp rents out such trailers rather than primarily selling them, operating more as a service provider than a classic trailer builder.

When buying used or renting, check the tightness of the tank and its connections, the condition of the double wall or internal lining, the operation of pumps and valves, and the brakes and axles of the chassis. Parts and service are handled by BakerCorp, that is, United Rentals, itself.
