We design and build custom stainless tanks for rigid vehicles and tanker trailers carrying food and beverage, chemical and petroleum products on Australian roads.
Australia relies on trucks and tankers to move products over long distances to a spread-out population.
A tank on a vehicle has to handle vibration and a moving load. We build vehicle tanks to withstand vibration, limit how much the contents shift, and take industry-standard fittings for loading and unloading.
Internal baffle plates limit how much the contents shift as the vehicle moves.
The tank exterior is braced for higher rigidity on the road.
Joints are quality checked so the tank does not crack under the stress of movement.
Fixtures and fittings for safe, efficient coupling, de-coupling, loading and unloading.
| Vehicle types | Rigid vehicles and tanker trailers |
|---|---|
| Products carried | Food and beverage, chemical and petroleum products, and custom applications |
| Materials | 304 and 316 stainless steel (including 316L) and high alloys |
| Internals | Baffle plates to limit contents shifting |
| Welding | Orbital, TIG, MIG and flux-cored (FCAW) |
| Testing and inspection | Hydrostatic testing in our workshop, depending on the size of the tank, and dye penetrant testing in our workshop; radiography arranged through a NATA-accredited third party, and any other testing your specification calls for (for example borescope inspection, riboflavin coverage testing, surface finish (profilometer) checks and material verification) can be arranged through NATA-accredited third-party testers |
| Design | 3D modelling and approval drawings before fabrication |
We design your tank around the vehicle and product in 3D and issue approval drawings before fabrication.
Our welders and fabricators build your tank by hand in our Murarrie workshop and pressure test it there before it leaves.
We fit out the tank with the couplings and accessories your loading and unloading points need.
We carry out repairs and modifications in our workshop.
For anything else, call (07) 3348 9444.
Yes. We build custom stainless tanks for rigid vehicles and tanker trailers.
We fit baffle plates to limit the movement of the contents, and brace the tank to handle vibration on the road.
