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:rolleyes::rolleyes:

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.

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.

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.:)

The cement hauler's stick to cement powder. And the food grade hauler's stick to food grade stuff. Thank regulation's for that!
Cheer's, Neil.

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..

Man that's a darn goo idea Brian, I'm sure you remember me talking about finding a way to build one... Thanks for the idea

They are called "Sand Cans" just about every where as well.

Re: What type of tanker is this?
 

Wow, I didn't relize all the products you can haul in these trailers.
Very versitile, maybe some day, I will attempt one of these trailers...the options on which one, now that's a delima now isn't it...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Atleast on the Beall site. This is my favorite trailer. The rear lights are the best I think.. :D

Re: What type of tanker is this?
 

that could do with a few more lights on the back end

Re: What type of tanker is this?
 

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