Conventional Lifting

Hand hoists have chain, rope, and cable models, the former being a safer alternative. It is also more reliable to lift heavy materials. Its strength from the solid-steel build and linked chain eases the pressure of sustaining heavy weight.

Drum Lifting in Warehousing

Drum lifting necessitates the usage of a forklift. In warehousing, weights as much as 3000kgs or more need to be transferred or shifted, at a time. Drum grabs use clamps that tightly hold the drum at its top before lowering it.

Why is it so important to disinfect a tanker truck

Monday, April 27, 2015


 Tanker trucks are motorized vehicles designed to carry liquefied loads, dry bulk cargo or gases on roads. They are also called tank trucks, petrol trucks, or simply trucks. Tank trucks vary in size, but the one mainly used, and most common tanker truck for sale is the large version of it. Large tank trucks have the capacity of 20,800 to 43,900 L. By shape, they are mainly cylindrical, except for the ones that have to be complied with food regulations, refrigeration capability and pressurization capability. Tanker truck's main purpose is to transfer liquids such as gasoline, petrol, diesel, milk, juices, wine, water and industrial chemicals. Depending on the liquid they carry, they can be made of aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel or fiberglass.

Before putting any liquid in the tank, especially in one you bought at a tanker truck for sale section, you must disinfect it. Even if it's a completely new and unused tank, if you are going to put a liquid for drinking in it, you must clean it first. Every time a liquid stays for a longer period in a tank, it contaminates it. For example milk, wine and even water can easily contaminate the tank. The easiest and most commonly used way to disinfect a tank is by using chlorine.

There are two forms of chlorine substances you can use for disinfecting: calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite. Using any of them, a 0.2% solution has to be made. Next, you spray the tank with the solution and close it. Leave the tank for at least 4 hours, or through the night, and wash it in the morning. After this, you can put the liquid in. Calcium hypochlorite comes as white granules and can be bought in a pharmaceutical store. It contains 50-70 % chlorine, and is much stronger than liquid bleach. In addition, you can test the tank for bacteria. Testing for bacteria should be done at least once a month. If after disinfection, the water is still contaminated, consider chlorinating every load, or changing the source of water.
