3 Axle Asphalt Tanker Semi Trailer Detailed Description
ZW Group’s 3 Axle Asphalt Tanker Semi Trailer is designed for transporting hot bitumen used in road construction and paving projects. Unlike standard fuel tankers, it focuses on temperature stability and controlled discharge in high-temperature working environments.
The 45,000-liter tank is built from insulated Q235B carbon steel and can be configured with 1 to 7 compartments, allowing flexible transport of different asphalt grades. Meanwhile, 3″ or 4″ ball valves and dual 6-meter discharge hoses ensure smooth and efficient unloading at job sites.
In addition, the Q345B I-beam chassis, JOST landing gear, and WABCO braking system provide stable and safe operation under heavy loads. As a result, this asphalt tanker helps reduce material loss and maintain asphalt quality from plant to site.
