With an unladen weight of 8,470 kg, the payload comes to 26,030 kg, more than three quarters of the gross weight, a ratio typical of tankers, since the vessel itself is comparatively light while the liquid makes up most of the load. At 9.45 m long, 2.50 m wide and with a 6.47 m wheelbase, the Tanktrailer sits on a compact chassis built for the axle load.
Tank trailers of this size run with an air brake system and usually air suspension, which keeps the vessel steady under braking and through corners. Towing in a combination requires licence category CE in the EU. Depending on the medium carried, further rules apply to compartmentation, venting and, for dangerous goods, ADR equipment.
When buying a used tank trailer, the condition of the vessel matters most: check for corrosion and dents inside and out, and inspect welds and manhole covers for tightness. The checklist should also cover the air suspension bellows for cracks, the air lines for leaks and, depending on registration, proof of the current tank inspection. Axle bearings and the brake system also belong on the checklist.
