Tanker trucks have various names depending on the medium they transport, their configuration, and local terminology, such as: oil tanker, tank truck, oil transport truck, oil supply truck, oil hauling truck, mobile refueling truck, tax-controlled refueling truck, computer-controlled refueling truck, diesel transport truck, gasoline transport truck, coal tar transport truck, lubricating oil transport truck, edible oil transport truck, crude oil transport truck, heavy oil transport truck, and oil product transport truck.
Based on their appearance, tanker trucks can be divided into: flat-head tanker trucks, pointed-head tanker trucks, and straight-head tanker trucks.
Based on their drive type, they can be divided into: 4×2 (single-axle) tanker trucks, 6×2 (small three-axle/front four rear four) tanker trucks, 6×4 (rear eight-wheel/rear double-axle) tanker trucks, 8×2 (front four rear six) tanker trucks, and 8×4 (front four rear eight) tanker trucks.
Based on their load capacity, they can be divided into: light-duty tanker trucks, small tanker trucks, medium-duty tanker trucks, medium-large tanker trucks, and large tanker trucks.
The tank structure of the mobile refueling truck is an elliptical cylindrical or trapezoidal cylindrical body made of high-quality steel plate. The entire tank body is divided into single or multiple compartments, and the compartments can be further divided into chambers. The lower end of the partition plate in the middle has a through hole. Each compartment has a sub-compartment or multiple sub-compartments welded in the middle to reduce the impact of the oil in the tank when the vehicle is moving and to improve the rigidity of the tank body.
