Mammut Tanker Trailer
Tanker is used solely for the transport of liquids. Due to the type of fluid being shipped, the tank body can vary. While for the carriage of fuels (Gasoline, Diesel, Mazut, Kerosene) the body is made of carbon steel, for the transportation of hygienic fluids the body is mainly made of stainless steel. Using aluminum in certain cases, such as transporting of aircraft fuel is recommended for safety reasons but in other cases it may be used if cheap to run. Where liquids are corrosive (like acid or alkaline substances) the only economic solution is application of special coatings on the interior of the tank. Liquid in tanker is drained either by gravity (its own weight) or using a pump which is separately installed on the trailer and driven by a small diesel/gasoline engine.
