Abstract: This disclosure is directed toward a heated tailgate for use in cold climates. The heated tailgate may be used with a self-contained heated portable vacuum slurry box. The slurry box generally includes a vacuum tank, a structure attached to the tank, a vertical tailgate, and a hook for pulling the slurry box onto a vehicle. The heated tailgate provides that the slurry cuttings within the slurry box which are adjacent to the tailgate do not freeze and provides for a way in which the tailgate may seal to the vacuum box.

Abstract: A heated slurry transport system for receiving, transporting and unloading a cuttings slurry in a non-frozen manner in cold weather environments. The heated slurry transport system generally includes a portable tank having an interior surface, at least one wall, and a rear door. A layer of insulation surrounds at least a portion of the portable tank to help retain heat within the portable tank. A heating unit is attached to the portable tank and adapted to heat a fluid that is transferred through at least one heat loop attached to the portable tank to heat the interior of the portable tank and the contents of the portable tank.

Abstract: A tailgate assembly for a roll-off container includes a tailgate hinge that is operable to attach a tailgate to a container such that the tailgate is movable between an open position and a closed position. A sealing material located between the container and the tailgate when the tailgate is in the closed position.

Abstract: A tailgate assembly includes a tailgate hinge that is operable to attach a tailgate to a vacuum tank such that the tailgate is movable between an open position and a closed position, the vacuum tank operable to withstand vacuum pressure when the tailgate is in the closed position. A tailgate warming tube loop is operable to circulate a heated fluid through the tailgate, the tailgate warming tube loop attached to an interior surface of the tailgate and a first rear pipe flange that includes a first rear pipe flange warming channel in communication with the tailgate warming tube loop.

Abstract: A self-contained heated portable vacuum slurry box which is constructed to hold both a positive pressure and a vacuum pressure. The slurry box generally includes a vacuum tank, a structure attached to the tank, a vertical tailgate, and a hook for pulling the slurry box onto a vehicle. The slurry box meets space restriction requirements while functioning within the environmental conditions of winter and summer seasons.

Abstract: A transportable slurry box includes a structure comprising an interior to contain a cuttings slurry; a door movable between a closed position and an open position to provide access to the interior of the structure, wherein the door is located within a top surface of the transportable slurry box; a mechanical bay in the structure; and a heating unit removably mounted within the mechanical bay of the transportable slurry box for heating the cuttings slurry within the interior.
