Good day to all! The summer season is opening soon, so I’m thinking about preparing the site. Not all dachas are equipped with running water. That’s why my neighbors use a special tank to water their garden and simply have water at their disposal. I don't need a tank trailer, but this is quite an interesting topic for discussion.
This type of tank, designed for a passenger car, has many functions. Essentially, this is a barrel on wheels, the volume of which can be about 900 liters.
Some decide to buy it for personal use; for others, temporary rent is more profitable. But the fact is that tank trailers (TTS) can come in handy in a variety of situations and for a variety of purposes.
Features and Benefits
If you follow our website, you know that many quite interesting and non-standard trailers have been reviewed, that is, not ordinary flatbed trailers, but specialized ones. Among them:
- horse transporters;
- bee carriers;
- flatbed trailers;
- trade trailers;
- Istok vans;
- refrigerated trailers.
Now it's time for the barrels on wheels.
Nowadays, there are a large number of ways to deliver and transport liquid cargo of food or non-food type. The most democratic and popular within a city, region or even country is the method of transportation using cars.
For large volumes, semi-trailers and trucks are used. In the case of small volumes of cargo, a barrel trailer and an ordinary passenger car are sufficient.
They can be used for:
- transportation;
- temporary storage of content;
- retail;
- delivery of products for subsequent processing.
With the current assortment, it is not difficult to find a suitable PC option. But it is better to buy new models directly from manufacturers rather than used ones. Used tanks could be used for a variety of purposes, which is why you will not be able to reliably know the history of transportation. And when transporting food products, it is extremely important that everything inside is as clean and safe as possible.
If we talk about the advantages, they include:
- compact dimensions of the barrel on wheels;
- ability to maneuver;
- compatibility with passenger cars;
- no need to obtain an additional category of trailer license;
- storage of the PC in a standard garage.
That is, objectively, tanks have quite a lot of advantages.
Special purpose
It is important to note that there are two main categories of tank trailers:
- for food products;
- for non-food products.
When you decide to purchase a vehicle like this for yourself, pay close attention to whether the trailer meets all strict sanitary standards. If the requirements for non-food barrels are not so serious, then with food barrels everything is very strict. Read the operating instructions before pouring any liquid into the container.
Among the most popular food liquids for transportation of which PCs are used are the following:
- beer;
- milk;
- juice;
- kvass;
- wine and wine materials;
- nutritional supplements;
- water, etc.
Before using the PC for milk or water, the food container is disinfected with special antibacterial agents. It is prohibited for any foreign impurities or objects that could spoil the taste or quality characteristics to get inside.
Among non-edible liquids, tank trailers mainly use:
- for fuels and lubricants;
- fuel;
- gasoline;
- petroleum products;
- paint and varnish materials;
- oils, etc.
All that remains is to make a choice. Don’t think that if a trailer is called a water carrier, it is intended for water. This is a trailer for jet skis and boats.
If you need a mobile barrel, then you need a vehicle from Nefaz, something like 8438M1 or PC 9-8926. Regarding them, you can often find advertisements like “Tanker for sale” with corresponding photos. If possible, it is better to take a new model from a trusted manufacturer. Especially in the case of food barrels.
I suggest you get acquainted with a small rating of tank trailers, which includes models specifically for food liquids. They are more popular among car owners who are looking for mobile barrels for passenger cars.
Milk tankers
A milk tanker differs from tanks for transporting non-food products by the presence of thermal insulation and the characteristics of the materials used to make the vessel. The inner container is made of stainless food steel. For the external coating of milk tankers, the following is used:
- galvanized sheet painted with polyurethane chemical-resistant enamels, 1.2 mm thick;
- white PVC plastic;
- mirror-polished corrosion-resistant steel 0.6mm thick
All materials are safe for human health, do not emit harmful substances and do not change the taste properties of transported food liquids.
Car mirrors with video recorder
All of them have positive reviews, are produced by trusted factories and have all the necessary list of documents and certificates confirming their suitability for transporting food-grade liquids.
