44,000 L Five-Compartment Tanker Semi-Trailers for Costa Rica

This Costa Rica order used a 44,000 L fuel tanker semi-trailer configuration with a 5454 aluminum-alloy tank. The five compartments were specified at 12,000, 8,000, 8,000, 4,000 and 12,000 L, giving the total capacity of 44,000 L.

The compartment arrangement is one of the most useful details of this order for another tanker enquiry. Instead of starting with a total volume alone, it gives a basis for discussing how the tank will be divided and how deliveries will be made.

The running gear was specified as a three-axle FUHUA arrangement with air suspension, including a liftable front axle in the trailer group. The order also listed an aluminum-alloy crossbeam and a 50# kingpin assembly.

For a comparable semi-trailer, provide the tractor information alongside the tank requirement. The coupling, clearances and loaded combination need to be reviewed together; a tank that matches the requested volume still has to work with the tractor and route.

Both top and bottom loading were included, together with recovery and anti-overflow equipment. The discharge-valve position was specified in the middle of the right side.

For your loading and delivery sites, describe the available connections and which loading method will be used. Ask for the valves, couplings and protection equipment to be itemized so the supplier can review the complete transfer arrangement.

The reference views show a side valve compartment and the manholes on top of a tanker. They help explain the different access points; the exact equipment for another order should be confirmed against the site requirements.

The five volumes in this order are specific to its tank layout. For another route, list the products and typical delivery quantities, then explain the order in which the compartments will be loaded and discharged.

The tank designer needs to consider the intended fill conditions and load distribution. A total volume that suits the daily deliveries does not settle the mass on each axle or the suitability of every partial-load arrangement.

Fuel density, the tank and trailer’s own mass, the tractor and the applicable limits all belong in the carrying-capacity review. Treat nominal litres and permitted cargo mass as separate figures when comparing quotations.

We shipped the order to Moín, Costa Rica, in April 2026. The aluminum tank, five-compartment split and loading equipment were the defining configuration details.

For a similar enquiry, send the required product and volume split, the tractor details, loading-site connections and destination. Include any dimensions or delivery-access limits that the combination must meet. Those inputs allow the tank and running gear to be discussed as one package.
