This Caldal BCG-38-R/N is a used fuel tank semi-trailer — sometimes referred to as a fuel tanker or road tanker — designed to transport liquid fuels in bulk by road. Fuel tank semi-trailers of this type are a core piece of equipment in petroleum distribution, serving fuel suppliers, logistics operators, and fleet refuelling businesses. Caldal is a Spanish manufacturer with an established reputation in the design and production of tank trailers and specialised cistern semi-trailers for the road transport industry.
The trailer is built around an aluminium cistern with a total capacity of 40,000 litres, divided into six compartments, making it suitable for carrying multiple fuel grades simultaneously or managing load distribution. The use of aluminium throughout the tank construction keeps unladen weight low while maintaining structural durability and resistance to corrosion.
The running gear consists of three ROR axles, with the first axle being a lift axle — an arrangement that reduces tyre and road wear, as well as fuel consumption on the towing vehicle, when the trailer is running empty or lightly loaded. All axles are equipped with disc brakes, and the trailer features an ABS system for enhanced braking control and road safety compliance.
Dimensional references confirm a chassis height of 1,180 mm and a kingpin coupling height of 1,240 mm, with a kingpin diameter of 70 mm — a standard dimension compatible with conventional fifth-wheel couplings on heavy tractor units. The wheels and rims are aluminium, consistent with the weight-saving approach applied to the rest of the build.
The trailer is offered in used condition, located in Spain, and is described as having been serviced and delivered with up-to-date documentation in the buyer's name, including valid ADR certification — the mandatory regulatory compliance document for the road transport of dangerous goods, including fuels, within Europe.
