Bobtails

“Bobtails”

This is a term used for operating a tractor (truck) without a trailer attached; but rather mounted behind the truck.

MaXfield designs and builds vessels that last a long time; 25-30 years or more.  Expendable components wear out-valves/meters/pumps.  A remount is required every 5-10 years – when the truck is replaced.  When this occurs the new truck is often a slightly different design and requires our engineers to develop a specific design.

MaXfield offers vessels made with quenched material.  Stronger and more flexible in case of accident/rollover.

The typical LPG bobtail vessel sizes

1,000 – 3,600 USWG            Single Axle

5,950 USWG                         Tandem Axle
