Polar Tank Trailer Inc designed its Lo-Pro double-tapered petroleum transport for safety. After more than two years of production, it has a record of troublefree service and reliability.

Lo-Pro's enhanced design offers several advantages. Overall height can be reduced by as much as 10 inches compared with a similar-capacity straight-bottom tank trailer. Rollover stability is improved due to lowering the center of gravity by as much as 5 inches.

A double-tapered trailer unloads faster and more completely. The elliptical double-tapered design is a stronger tank (due to the larger center section), and it has fewer weld seams and shorter piping than straight-bottom tanks.

This design is flexible to meet changing requirements. Any compartmentation can be built, from single bulkheads to all double bulkheads. The upper fifthwheel plate can be either the standard or inserted type to complement the tractor. The trailer can be built in either standard 96-inch OAW or 102-inch OAW.

The company custom-builds to user specifications. For more information, contact Polar, 12810 County Rd 17, Holdingford MN 56340-9773.
