  • Patent number: 8661745
    Abstract: A trailer security system for use with a trailer having a trailer coupling member, such as a trailer coupling channel. The trailer security system may include a security device joined to the trailer coupling member, a locking device to selectively lock the security device to trailer, and security elements attached to trailer. The security device may be a security box formed from walls that define a space for receiving flanges of the trailer coupler channel. The security box may include slots for receiving the trailer coupling member flanges and may be slid onto the trailer coupling member. The security device may include a post extending from the security box for anchoring the trailer to the ground. Access to lock may be restricted by the security elements and/or the configuration of the security box and post. The security system may include other features to increase the difficulty to tamper with or disable the system.

  • Patent number: 8196963
    Abstract: A fuel tank trailer includes a fuel tank defining a first containment region, a trailer having a bed supporting the fuel tank, and a secondary containment wall surrounding the fuel tank on the trailer providing an open second containment region for collection of any fuel leaking from the first containment region of the fuel tank and that is open for visual inspection to detect leakage of the fuel from the first containment region of the tank. The height of the secondary containment wall is sufficiently high to contain substantially an entire content of the fuel tank within a third combined containment region defined by the first and second containment regions and sufficiently low so as to permit visual inspection of the fuel tank.

  • Patent number: 7815223
    Abstract: A fuel tank trailer has a fuel tank supported on the bed of the trailer, and a secondary containment wall surrounding the fuel tank to provide an open secondary containment region. A drain valve controls the flow of fuel and water collecting in the secondary containment region. A fuel separation filter separates the fuel from any water draining from the secondary containment region.
