Types of Trailers Used for Tank Transport
Choosing the right trailer is crucial for safe, efficient, and compliant tank transport. Explore the most common trailer types below and find the perfect fit for your shipment.
Flatbed Trailers
Best for: Medium-sized or standard-shaped tanks
Why use them: Flatbeds offer versatile loading from all sides, ideal for tanks that don’t require height clearance.
Step Deck / Drop Deck Trailers
Best for: Taller tanks needing additional deck clearance
Why use them: The lowered section accommodates taller tanks without oversize permits.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers
Best for: Oversized or heavy industrial tanks
Why use them: The detachable neck lets you drive the tank onto the trailer, ideal for loading large or bulky units.
Double Drop / Lowboy Trailers
Best for: Extra-tall vertical tanks
Why use them: The sunken deck keeps the center of gravity low and offers extra vertical clearance.
Steps to Prepare Your Tank for Shipping
Proper preparation helps prevent delays and ensures safe delivery:
- Empty your tank completely (if applicable).
- Clean the tank to avoid contamination or hazards.
- Label the tank with any necessary warnings or handling instructions.
- Secure any removable parts or attachments.
