DRY BULK TANK
20190299837 · 2019-10-03 · ·

A dry bulk tank and a method of carrying a load and discharging a load therefrom. The dry bulk tank includes a tank assembly having a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for carrying a load therein and a second wall spaced outwardly from at least a portion of the first wall; wherein a second compartment is defined between the first wall and the second wall. The tank assembly includes an air piping system that is selectively actuated to place the first compartment and the second compartment under substantially similar or substantially equal air pressure. In one example the air piping system pumps air into the first compartment and the second compartment. In another example the air piping system evacuates air from the first and second compartments.

MULTI-TANK TRAILER
20190283651 · 2019-09-19 ·

The present invention comprises a multi-featured trailer designed with transporting hazardous material in mind. The trailer design allows a driver without a hazardous materials transport license or commercial driver's license to legally transport the trailer when it contains hazardous material. It includes a unique hand-rail and bracket system designed to allow the trailer to employ standard sized rails which provides structural support and economic advantage. Further, the inventive trailer features means to accommodate several different tanks together or alone, comprising different capacities and sloped bottoms, in addition to tools and/or machines while employing the same frame, axles and wheels. Employing the inventive design further allows each tank trailer to be assembled to order providing a significant manufacturing advantage.
