Product Description
Insulated Four-Compartment Tank, Side Heating Equipment, Rear Valve
The 40 m³ tank is divided into four compartments and wrapped in insulation under external cladding to slow heat loss between the loading point and the job site. Heating and auxiliary equipment is mounted outside the tank in a dedicated side area, where the service points are easy to check. A handwheel valve at the rear connects to the discharge hose. A top walkway with guardrail gives access to the manholes. Tank material, insulation thickness, heating equipment and valve size are chosen for your bitumen grade, loading temperature and journey time.

Configure the Tanker for Your Bitumen and Route
Three details we need before quoting
Hot bitumen loses heat on every kilometre. These details set insulation and heating.
How is this bitumen tanker built?
Six Stages from Tank Layout to Final Checks
The tank, four compartments, three-axle group and equipment positions are laid out first. Tank plates and end sections are then cut and formed, with compartment plates, access openings and outlets prepared together. The shell, ends and internal compartments are assembled with the manholes, supports and discharge points. Insulation goes around the tank and is covered with external cladding. The frame, landing gear, axles, walkway, equipment boxes, heating parts and discharge pipework are fitted, and lights, guards, valves and connections are checked after assembly.
