Drop Frame Tank Chassis for Lease
Designed for safe, efficient, and compliant transport of bulk chemicals, food-grade liquids, and other cargo that requires tank-style hauling.
Lower center of gravity. Higher confidence.
The drop frame configuration allows the tank to sit lower between the axles, improving stability and lowering the center of gravity. This design enhances handling on the highway and makes the unit easier to load and offload.
Because of its lower height, the drop frame chassis can accommodate taller tanks without exceeding legal height limits — offering greater flexibility for specialized cargo.
Three drop frame configurations.
