Commercial Information
Product Overview
The KYD-AT50 Aluminum Alloy Fuel Tanker offers significant advantages over traditional steel tankers through advanced materials engineering.
Aluminum Advantages: - 30-35% lighter than equivalent steel tanker - Increased legal payload due to lower tare weight - Natural corrosion resistance eliminates rust concerns - No internal coating required - pure product contact - Excellent resale value and longevity
Capacity & Performance: - 50,000 liter total capacity across 3-4 compartments - Tare weight approximately 6,000 kg vs 7,500 kg for steel - Payload increase of 1,500 kg per trip compounds to significant annual gains - Same external dimensions as steel counterparts
Technical Excellence: - 5083 marine-grade aluminum alloy construction - TIG welded seams for superior integrity - Anodized interior surface prevents contamination - Reinforced aluminum baffles control liquid surge - Compatible with all petroleum products including biofuels
Perfect For: - Coastal routes where salt air accelerates steel corrosion - Biofuel transport where ethanol attacks steel coatings - Premium fuel distributors seeking product purity - High-mileage operations maximizing payload economics
While initial cost is higher than steel, the total cost of ownership over 10+ years is often lower due to reduced maintenance, higher payload, and better residual value. We offer both European and American standard aluminum tankers.
