sales representative at United Truck & Equipment, Inc. - Phoenix, Arizona, United States
UnitedBuilt is a manufacturer & leading nationwide supplier of mobile fluid spray systems for a wide range of applications. We build our tanks from the ground up, starting with A36 sheet steel (or 304 2B stainless if specified) with a min. thickness of 3/16" (or 7-gauge if stainless). Depending on the customer spec, shells are rolled either to a modified ellipse or a modified trapezoid with a radius bottom, yielding the desired volume distribution &/or rear view visibility. All shell seams are welded 100% on both sides.Our tank design properly distributes the forces of hauled water evenly throughout the vessel. Toward this, we install curved bulkheads, which match or exceed the shell thickness. All contact between heads & shell is welded 100% on both sides. To suppress fluid surge during stops & starts, according to capacity & dimension we baffle our tanks with the appropriate number of ported & curved lateral steel sheets. Internally, our tanks contain no unbaffled chamber exceeding 1700 gallons. As with bulkheads, all contact between baffle & shell is welded 100% on both sides.UnitedBuilt tanks of 2700 gallons & above are reinforced with a full-length belly plate, effectively doubling the bottom thickness of the tank. Bottom runner skids are fully welded to the bottom of the tank for precise interface to the chassis frame. Between truck frame & tank runner, a vulcanized rubber wear pad diffuses stress & surge even further.Our specifications do not merely meet industry standards. Over years of quality manufacturing, our specifications have BECOME the standard, offering not only safety of design but durability so stout that United Truck can confidently offer a limited 5-year tank construction warranty.We can supply the chassis, or tailor a system to a truck the customer provides. Beyond that, if we are supplied clear transmission and axle information, we can build any uninstalled tank spray system in kit form, customized to those specifications.
