55,000 litre fuel tanker in aluminium alloy or carbon steel to your spec
55 cbm (55000 Liters) Diesel Fuel Tanker Semi Trailer constructed primarily from high-strength aluminum alloy or carbon steel, the tank body of this semi-trailer is engineered to withstand the rigors of transportation while minimizing weight. The use of aluminum alloy, in particular, offers significant weight savings compared to traditional carbon steel, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and increased payload capacity. The tanker semi-trailer features a three-axle configuration, which provides excellent stability and weight distribution, even when fully loaded. This design ensures smooth handling and maneuverability, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall safety on the road. The suspension system, whether mechanical or air-based, further contributes to a comfortable and stable ride, even on uneven terrains.

How It Compares
Against our 40,000 L fuel tank trailer, the 55 cbm unit moves more product per trip but needs the axle allowance to carry it. Where road limits are tight, the smaller tank is the more practical asset.
Operating Notes
- Bond and earth the tanker before loading or discharging.
- Follow the compartment loading order given in the manual to keep axle loads legal.
- Pressure test and inspect valves at the intervals set by your local fuel transport rules.
Every vehicle ships with an illustrated operation manual covering coupling, braking and turning technique.

Aluminium alloy or carbon steel?
Aluminium saves significant weight and needs no internal coating, so payload and product purity improve. Carbon steel costs less to buy and to repair locally. High annual mileage usually favours aluminium.
How many compartments can I have?
Compartment count and volumes are set per order around your delivery drops. Send us a typical day's deliveries and we will propose a layout.
Is a spare wheel bracket included?
Yes, one spare wheel bracket is part of the standard build.
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.
