3 Axle 45,000L Oil Tanker Semi Trailer

45,000 litre (45 m³) tri-axle oil tanker semi trailer built on three ZY axles, TONGYA 28T landing gear and 12R22.5 Doublestar tyres.The tank is 5 mm Q355 carbon steel with 6 mm end plates, a 4-inch discharge valve and WABCO relay-valve braking — sized for gasoline, diesel and light fuel oil distribution where one tractor unit has to move a full depot load per trip.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

What is a 3 axle 45,000L oil tanker semi trailer used for?

It is a 45 cubic metre road tanker trailer that couples to a 6×4 tractor unit and moves refined fuel in bulk — from a terminal or depot to service stations, construction sites, mining camps and agricultural distributors. Three axles spread the loaded mass over twelve tyres, which keeps axle loads inside most national limits at 45 tonnes gross combination weight while still delivering a full depot load per trip.

This configuration is the workhorse of fuel distribution in West and East Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and South America: a single trailer that is big enough to be economical on a 400 km depot run, but still short enough to enter a forecourt and discharge into underground storage tanks without a second vehicle. Tongya has been building tanker trailers in Liangshan, Shandong since 1982 and has exported them since 2006, so the specification below already reflects the axle ratings, tyre sizes and brake packages those markets actually service.

  • Fuel depot to service station — multi-compartment discharge for several grades per trip.
  • Mining and construction supply — diesel delivery to remote sites with poor road surfaces.
  • Agriculture and plantations — palm oil, edible oil and diesel in the same fleet.
  • Aviation and marine bunkering — kerosene and light fuel oil where compartment purity matters.

echnical data

Specification: 45,000 L tri-axle fuel tanker

The table below is the base build for this unit: ZY axles, TONGYA 28T landing gear and 12R22.5 Doublestar tyres. Every line is confirmed on a signed drawing before cutting starts, so if your local regulation or your tractor differs, the specification is adjusted rather than compromised.

Tare weight and wheelbase are deliberately left to the approved drawing: both change with shell thickness, compartment count and axle rating. Send your target payload and the axle-load limit that applies in your country, and the tank is sized so the loaded combination stays legal.

What makes this 45,000 L tanker specification different?

Three parts of this build were chosen for serviceability on long export routes rather than for the lowest possible invoice: the axle brand, the landing gear and the tyre size.

Running gear

Three ZY axles

ZY is a Chinese axle brand with a dense parts network across Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Brake shoes, wheel seals, bearings and camshafts are stocked by most heavy-truck dealers, so a breakdown 600 km from base does not wait on an airfreight shipment. Three axles spread the load across twelve tyres, which is what makes a 45,000 L payload practical at legal axle loads.

Static support

TONGYA 28T landing gear

A 28 tonne static-capacity, two-speed leg set. It matters most in the two situations that break lighter gear: dropping a fully loaded trailer on a yard, and coupling on uneven or sloped ground. Two-speed gearing means the trailer can be raised or lowered with a manageable handle load when the tank is full.

Tyres

12R22.5 Doublestar

12R22.5 tubeless is the standard export size for Chinese tri-axle trailers, and Doublestar is one of China's largest tyre groups with a broad export dealer network. The size carries a high load index per tyre at highway pressure, and replacement casings are available in almost every market this trailer is sold into.

Tank shell

5 mm Q355 shell, 6 mm ends

Q355 carbon steel is the accepted material for non-corrosive petroleum products: it welds cleanly, tolerates normal fuel chemistry and is repairable in any workshop with a certified tank welder. Thicker 6 mm end plates resist the stress concentration where the barrel meets the dish.

Safety

Explosion-proof covers and emergency shut-off

Each compartment carries an aluminium explosion-proof manhole cover, and the bottom outlet is fitted with an aluminium pneumatic emergency shut-off valve that closes if the line is severed. Baffle plates limit liquid surge, which is the main cause of rollover in part-loaded tankers.

Braking

WABCO RE6 relay valve

Dual-line pneumatic braking with a WABCO RE6 relay valve and two 45 L air tanks gives fast, balanced brake application on a load that shifts forward under deceleration. ABS is available, and is part of the ADR package where the destination regulation requires it.
