The post DANGEROUS GOODS RULES FOR TANKERS appeared first on Road Tank Repairs & Services WA.

Road tankers are used for transporting all types of non-hazardous & dangerous goods. If any part or component fails to work correctly, accidents and spills may take place which may also lead to loss of lives or environmental damage. So, you need to make sure your tankers are always inspected and kept in good working condition.

Here are a few important components that you should take extra care inspecting during your pre-start checks and maintenance of your tankers to ensure that they are in good working order.

Remember, it’s your duty of care to ensure the tanker is safe and compliant to operate.

Inspect your tanker’s API outlet valves, fittings and hoses

With huge workloads placed on tanker components, you need to make sure that all the API valves, delivery hoses, hydrants and fittings function as they should and are properly maintained & tested on a regular basis. It only takes a worn fitting or valve to fail and an injury or spill can occur. Make sure you are proactive and not reactive to ensure your tankers are in good working order.

Tank testing 2.5 Yearly Hatch & Vent, 5 Yearly Hydrostatic pressure test

You should inspect the tankers test record plate to ensure you haven’t exceeded the testing intervals as set out in AS2809 parts 1&2. Failure to ensure your tanker is compliant could result in a fine if an accident or spill occurred. Regular tank testing ensures the integrity of the tanker shell and pipe work, including the testing crucial valves and components to ensure they are working at 100%. If left unchecked and not serviced these parts may fail when you need them the most.

Check your tanker’s Fire extinguishers & Spill kits

Poorly maintained or damaged fire extinguishers can easily fail and not work when you need them to work during an accident or accident. Lives count on these items working first time every time, anything less is unacceptable. The same rules apply to your tankers spill response kit, If you notice anything missing from the kit or if it hasn’t been checked for a while, report it to your tanker repairer and they will carry out an inspection on them for you. 

Tanker Repairs & Servicing – Who you gonna call ?

By considering the above-mentioned aspects of your tanker operations and the requirements needed during the repair and maintenance process, you can greatly reduce the risk of hazards and damages.

The post Observing Your Tanker’s Repair and Maintenance Process appeared first on Road Tank Repairs & Services WA.

Bulk liquid tankers are built tough. In fact, when it comes to an engine that’s a real workhorse they’re about as tough as they come. They can run for hundreds of thousands of kilometres and with incredible reliability. But, for all their strength and brute power, bulk liquid tankers can be quite demanding. That is, they can be taken out of commission if they don’t get the attention & regular maintenance they need.

That attention comes in the form of preventive maintenance. To keep that tanker on the road, by taking it to a professional bulk liquid tanker repairer, someone who specialises in tanker repairs for preventive maintenance and a pre-trip checklist should become a ritual. So, before turning a wheel, be sure to:

Check your SLP Label  

Check the SLP expiry date to ensure you are still eligible to enter a terminal facility to load fuel

Check your tank test dates  

Ensure that your 5 Yearly hydrostatic test dates & 2.5 Yearly hatch and vents are in date & current.

Check your Hoses

Inspect all your hoses to ensure they have current & up to date test tags fitted, this includes all delivery and vapour recovery type hoses.

Check your tanker & dolly service label  

A properly maintained bulk liquid tanker & dolly is crucial to ensure the wheels keep rolling in your operation and keep your customers supplied with the products they require. For all the tough working conditions we throw at equipment in WA’s harsh environment, it’s imperative we look after our investments. One thing equipment doesn’t like is a lack of preventative & regular maintenance.

Checking and maintaining the brakes

The brakes are probably the most important safety feature on the tanker. Brakes generate massive amounts of friction and heat every time the driver steps on the brake pedal to slow or stop the tanker. Eventually, that takes its toll and they need to be replaced before they fail. Brake failure at a critical time could be catastrophic. Being sure the brake linings, brake hoses, boosters and connections are in good shape is a top priority.

When it comes to tanker maintenance, it all comes down to the basics. Little details can make a big difference. A moment of carelessness or neglect could result in costly repairs or possibly a tragic accident. Avoid the unfortunate breakdown on the road and an expensive trip to the repair shop by choosing us. We, here at Road Tank Repairs and Services WA, will provide you with the best bulk liquid tanker repairs and maintenance services that will keep your bulk liquid tanker on the road where it belongs.
