This Silva PCSG-38/5AAL-TV is a used fuel tank semi-trailer — sometimes referred to as a tanker trailer or fuel bowser trailer — designed for the road transport of liquid fuels in bulk. Fuel tank semi-trailers of this type are a staple of petroleum distribution logistics, moving refined fuels such as diesel, petrol, and heating oil between depots, filling stations, and industrial end users. Silva is a Spanish manufacturer with an established presence in the specialised tanker and liquid transport trailer sector.
The tank itself is constructed from aluminium, a material widely favoured in fuel transport for its combination of light weight, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with hydrocarbon products. It is divided into five separate compartments, enabling the simultaneous carriage of multiple fuel grades in a single journey — a configuration that is standard practice for road fuel delivery operations.
The running gear comprises three SAF axles, a well-regarded German axle brand known for reliability in heavy-duty trailer applications, with drum brakes on all axles and a full pneumatic suspension system. The chassis stands at a height of 1,200 mm, and the kingpin coupling height is 960 mm with a 70 mm diameter kingpin, which is compatible with standard fifth-wheel tractor units. Aluminium wheels are fitted throughout, complementing the weight-saving philosophy of the aluminium tank construction. An ABS braking system is also installed.
For product dispensing, the trailer is equipped with a Blackmer-brand meter and pump — Blackmer being a recognised manufacturer of pumping and metering equipment for the fuel and gas industries — along with one hose reel, facilitating controlled and measured delivery at the point of use.
The seller states that the trailer will be delivered fully inspected, with all documentation current and transferred into the buyer's name, including a valid ADR certificate, which is the mandatory European certification required for the road transport of dangerous goods. The unit is located in Spain.
