Lightweight petroleum trailers

Heil Trailer International has launched its brand-new Fleet Duty frameless petroleum trailers. The optimized trailers offer reduced weight by 800-1100 lb while delivering the same durability of other models, the company says. They’re backed by the same warranty as its other trailers.

As a result of the weight savings achieved through barrel construction and frame optimization, the new petroleum line is lighter or the same weight as other brands on the market today. Engineering breakthroughs and technologies used in optimizing the barrel are now being applied across all Heil products. In addition to the new frameless models, standard petroleum trailers with frames and weight-optimized barrels are also available, delivering significant weight savings over prior versions.
