CIMC fuel tanker trailers are designed with a strong focus on safety, durability, and efficiency, making them a reliable choice for transporting petroleum products across long distances. Each trailer is manufactured with advanced engineering methods to ensure that every structural detail contributes to performance and safety.
One of the most significant design innovations is the application of finite element analysis (FEA) during the design stage. This method allows engineers to simulate different working conditions, such as full loads, emergency braking, and uneven road surfaces. By doing so, the strength and stiffness of the tanker are optimized while maintaining a lightweight structure. This balance between strength and reduced weight means higher fuel efficiency, longer vehicle life, and safer road performance.
The anti-shock design is another highlight of CIMC tankers. Inside the tank, dish-shaped anti-wave plates are carefully positioned to scatter liquid shock waves, reducing stress concentration on specific points. These plates are arranged more densely according to the transported medium and road conditions, ensuring even stress distribution across the tank body. This innovation not only improves the structural stability of the tanker but also protects against long-term fatigue damage.
Externally, CIMC introduces a unique reinforcing ring structure made of stainless steel. Unlike conventional designs, this reinforcement improves load-bearing capacity while keeping the overall vehicle weight lower. The tank itself bears most of the load, minimizing deformation and ensuring long-lasting reliability.
In production, CIMC adopts automatic TIG welding machines with PLC programmable control to deliver high-precision welds. The one-time forming process reduces weld seams, creating a smooth, high-strength tank body with enhanced sealing performance. The combination of modern welding technology and strict quality standards guarantees stable performance in demanding transport environments.
For critical connections, the tankers use the Huck BobTail fastening system, a globally recognized technology for high-strength, vibration-resistant, and maintenance-free fastening. This ensures the secure connection of the frame and walking mechanism, making the vehicle more dependable under heavy-duty operations.
Safety and environmental protection are also central to the tanker’s design. Equipped with explosion-proof manholes, emergency bottom valves, breathing valves, and oil-gas recovery systems, CIMC tankers provide comprehensive safety measures. These devices, along with anti-roll and anti-collision structures, ensure the safe transport of hazardous fuels while complying with strict environmental regulations.
