New “Two Trucks in One” Design for Bulk and Packaged Delivery of Lubricants

Looking for a real head-turner and practical way to combine bulk and packaged delivery for fleets?

Consider what Virginia based petroleum marketer, PAPCO, had done with the recent delivery of a new combination lubricants delivery truck that offers the ability to transport lubricants in bulk, totes, and packaged formats all at the same time.

“This new truck is a major leap forward for the efficiency of lubricant deliveries,” said Bert Polk, PAPCO Director of Operations.

“Unusual as it looks,” he continued, “this combination vehicle is outfitted with ‘state of the art’ technology, and helps us better control costs by decreasing the number of miles driven, reducing our fleet size and increasing driver productivity.”

The truck houses four liquid compartments with a total capacity of 2500 gallons. The rear cargo box and two front positions mean up to six different bulk products can be handled by the truck.

Also on board, three pumping systems and hose reels are capable of drawing product from any of the four tank compartments and two totes. Another advantage of this truck is its ability to reverse the flow and clear the hose of the previous product.

This safety feature keeps drivers from having to climb on top with no fall protection to either “push” the previous product into the top of the bulk or into a waste tank.
