- Valves and pressure gauge: Always check all the valves including the hydraulic, safety, vacuum and pressure valves. Ensure that each valve function as it should and is properly lubricated. Sometimes valves freeze during the cold weather, which causes them to malfunction. Clean the valves and lubricate them regularly. All the valves should have no residue or corrosion. Check the pressure gauge as well to ensure that it is in good condition and working properly.
- Tank: The most important aspect to consider when maintaining the tank is leakage. Inspect the tank for any holes that may cause the gas or liquid to leak. Seal any leaking parts on the tank. Check for any bents or deformations on the body of the tank. If such deformations are left unchecked, they may lead to cracks as pressure changes during the loading and unloading processes. The body of the tank should be smooth and even. Clean the tank regularly and polish its surface to prevent rust.
- Tires: Maintaining tires regularly to avoid rollovers. Inspect the tires for wear and any damages and replace any worn out tires. Ensure that the air pressure is at the right level at all times. Poorly maintained tires can easily cause an accident because they do not have the required traction on the road.
- Bolts: Tighten all the bolts during maintenance including the shock absorbed bolts, u-bolts, and slewing ring bolts. Every bolt in the tank trailer must be tight enough to maintain its strength and stability. Replace any damaged bolts with new bolts and ensure to pick the right dimensions.
We have outlined a few of the components of tank trailers that must be checked regularly. However, all the other parts are also important and require proper maintenance.
Follow your manufacturer’s guidelines on how maintain the tank trailer especially when replacing parts. Manufacturers give specific dimensions and quality of parts that should be used in their tank trailers.
In addition, follow the safety guidelines given in your country for such transporters. For Source info Click Here.
