This Caldal BCG-38-R/N is a used fuel tank semi-trailer — sometimes referred to as a fuel tanker semi-trailer — designed for the bulk road transport and distribution of liquid fuels. Semi-trailers of this type are a core element of petroleum logistics, supplying fuel depots, filling stations, and industrial end-users. Caldal is a Spanish manufacturer with an established reputation in the production of tank trailers and specialised semi-trailers serving the fuel, chemical, and food-grade transport sectors.
The trailer is built around an aluminium cistern with a total capacity of 40,000 litres, divided across six compartments, allowing the simultaneous transport of multiple fuel grades or the flexible loading of different quantities for multi-stop distribution routes. The aluminium construction keeps unladen weight low, maximising the legal payload that can be carried on each journey.
The running gear consists of three axles from ROR, with the first axle being liftable — a practical feature that reduces tyre wear and fuel consumption when the trailer is running partially loaded or empty. Braking is handled by disc brakes across the axle set, complemented by an ABS system for enhanced stability and control, particularly important given the dynamic load-shifting characteristics of tanker trailers.
Chassis ride height is 1,180 mm, and the kingpin coupling height is 1,240 mm, with a kingpin diameter of 70 mm — standard dimensions that ensure compatibility with a wide range of fifth-wheel tractor units. The trailer rides on aluminium wheels, consistent with the weight-saving philosophy of the aluminium tank construction.

The seller states that it will be delivered fully inspected, with all documentation current and transferred into the buyer's name, including the ADR certification required for the carriage of dangerous goods by road.
