Operators This Trailer Is Built Around
- Road construction contractors moving hot bitumen from refinery to paving site
- Asphalt plants and highway maintenance fleets that must hold product temperature over long hauls
Problems It Solves
Bitumen stiffens and will not discharge
All-round rock wool insulation plus a heat transfer oil heating system keeps the load at working temperature through the journey.
Hot product attacks the tank
High-strength carbon steel with precise welding and anti-corrosion treatment is specified for repeated heat cycling rather than ambient liquids.

43 cubic metres per trip
13,000 × 2,500 × 3,800 mm overall with a 31-ton payload, sized for highway construction and maintenance projects.
Brand running gear
Three FUWA 13-ton axles, twelve 12R22.5 tyres, JOST kingpin in 50# or 90#, and six WABCO double brake chambers.
Mechanical suspension
Leaf spring suspension chosen for site access roads, where repairs need to be possible away from a workshop.
Technical Description
Technical Construction
The tank body adopts a rock wool all-around insulation structure and is equipped with a heat transfer oil heating system to ensure that the asphalt remains at an appropriate temperature throughout transportation.

How It Compares
A general purpose fuel tanker has no insulation or heating and cannot carry bitumen. Compared with our cement powder tankers, the asphalt unit trades pneumatic discharge equipment for thermal insulation and heating, so the two are not interchangeable.
Operating Notes
- Confirm the heating circuit and burner are serviced before the season starts.
- Load at the temperature specified for your bitumen grade, not above it.
- Discharge fully at the end of each shift; cooled residue is difficult to remove.
Every vehicle ships with an illustrated operation manual covering coupling, braking and turning technique.

How long does the insulation hold temperature?
Hold time depends on loading temperature, ambient conditions and journey length, so we do not publish a single figure. Send us your route and loading temperature and we will size the insulation and heating arrangement for it.
Can the heating system run while driving?
The tanker uses a heat transfer oil heating system. Operating procedure, including whether heating runs in transit, is set out in the manual supplied with the vehicle and depends on the burner configuration you order.
Which kingpin should I choose?
50# or 90# JOST, matched to the fifth wheel on your tractor. Tell us the tractor make and model and we will fit the matching pin.
Do you ship to my country?
SINOHENG exports in bulk to 30+ countries and regions across Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America. Send your destination port with the enquiry and we will quote delivery with the trailer.
Ask for a Drawing Before You Commit
We confirm dimensions, axle loads and coupling height on an approval drawing before any steel is cut, so the trailer is legal and couples to your tractors.
