  • Patent number: 7585000
    Abstract: A liquid chemical applicator tank made out of ultrahigh modular weight polyethylene which has a higher volume tank by use of a tank design with a narrower front end and wider rear end over the wheels of the trailer. The tank has wheel wells over the wheels, and a series of weldments on the frame engage indented ribs in the tank to help support the tank over the wheels. The tank has a short length and width while having a large volume such that the width is less than twelve feet, eliminating special road permits, while hauling up to 2400 gallons with a 62½ inches on-center lateral length between the inside wheel assemblies. The short length and low profile allows better tracking and greater visibility. Indented ribs in the tank engage weldments on the trailer frame to eliminate straps to hold the tank on the trailer.
