With more and more private cars, the use of oil is gradually increasing, leading to the development of the tanker industry. Now most fuel tankers choose aluminum plate such as 5083 aluminum. What can it bring to the fuel tanker? Lets have a look.
1. Low center of gravity design. Under the same cross-sectional area, its center of gravity is reduced by 100mm, and the roll angle is increased to 30 degrees, which is larger than 23 degrees, effectively preventing rollover.
2. The aluminum alloy oil tank truck has a lighter weight due to the use of aluminum plate. By reducing its own weight, the payload of the entire vehicle can be increased. The weight of a single transportation cargo is 18%-35% more than that of a carbon steel tanker.
3. The elongation rate of Haomei 5083 aluminum plate is one times higher than the ordinary aluminum plate which solves the problem of tank body cracking when the ordinary tankers have rear-end collision. The rear suspension can be also designed to be extended by 500mm.
4. The use of Al 5083 h111 on tanker greatly improve maneuverability. Since the center of gravity of the aluminum alloy tanker is relatively low, the braking is easier, which makes the vehicle maneuverability better. The aluminum alloy can also absorb the energy of the collision in the accident through effective deformation, thus improving driving safety.
It is not difficult to find that the use of aluminum alloy tank trucks can not only recover the investment cost in a short time, but also create more economic income and comprehensive benefits than carbon steel tank trucks.
Haomei Aluminum has rich kinds of aluminum plates for fuel tanker, LNG tank and semi truck, including 5083, 5454, 5182, 5754 and 5059 aluminum sheet. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
