Special Purpose Trailers for Lease
Industrial uses require the transportation and storage of bulk liquids whose chemical properties present unique challenges. These materials in their liquid state may be hazardous or require special handling. Whether the material releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs), requires high (or low) temperatures, or should be kept under pressure in order to preserve fluid properties the acquisition of “Specials” requires special planning.
Fortunately, Matlack Leasing is here to assist with the leasing of special-purpose trailers to meet customer-specific opportunities and challenges.

- Trailer Weight – lightweight trailers can carry higher payloads
- Barrel Materials – carbon steel or aluminum depending on the application
- Barrel Seams – minimize the number of barrel seams to improve durability and lower maintenance costs
- Heat Options – piping, insulation, pumping, and more
- Operating Temperature Range
