When a fuel distributor in Georgia needed to move several petroleum grades across long, demanding routes, they chose CLW for a fleet of 60 CBM fuel tanker semi-trailers. The result was five units of 4-axle, 6-compartment carbon steel trailers — built to order and shipped to the Caucasus region. This case study breaks down what the customer needed, the engineering decisions behind the build, and how the order was delivered.

The Customer’s Challenge
The buyer needed to deliver fuel across mixed terrain to multiple stations. Three requirements stood out: carry more than one fuel grade per trip, survive rough road conditions, and source five trailers at once from a supplier that could also manage ocean shipping and export documents.
A single-compartment trailer would force separate runs for diesel and gasoline. And ordering five units from a factory without real export experience risked long delays. The customer needed a manufacturing partner, not just a product.
The CLW Solution: A 60 CBM 6-Compartment Carbon Steel Fuel Tanker
CLW engineered each 60 CBM fuel tanker semi-trailer around three core decisions.
Why Q235 Carbon Steel
Q235 carbon steel gives the right balance of strength and cost for diesel, gasoline and other petroleum products. It is tough, easy to repair in the field, and more affordable than aluminium — a practical choice for buyers who run their fleet hard over many years.

Why 6 Compartments
Six independent compartments let one trailer carry different fuel grades on a single trip — for example diesel in some compartments and gasoline in others. Internal baffles inside each compartment reduce liquid surge, which improves stability and braking safety on the road. The result is one trailer doing the work of several.
Why 4 Axles
A 4-axle layout spreads the weight of a fully loaded 60 CBM tank across more contact points. This raises the legal payload, eases pressure on uneven or unpaved roads, and improves the long-term durability of both the trailer and the cargo it carries.
Safety & Compliance Built Into Every Fuel Tanker
Each carbon steel fuel tanker semi-trailer in this order was fitted with anti-surge baffles, sealed manhole covers, emergency bottom (cut-off) valves and discharge valves for controlled loading and unloading. Every unit was 100% pre-delivery tested before leaving the factory.
CLW’s manufacturing follows international quality systems, including ISO standards and ADR road-transport guidance for dangerous goods. You can also review CLW’s manufacturing certifications in detail.
Packing & Delivery to Georgia
Before shipment, the tanks were wax-sprayed to protect the carbon steel against seawater corrosion during the ocean voyage, then secured for transport. CLW handles export by Ro-Ro, bulk vessel or flat rack container, depending on dimensions and destination port — so buyers in Georgia and the wider Caucasus receive their fleet ready to register and run.
Why Importers Trust CLW
CLW brings 20+ years of manufacturing experience, 800+ vehicle models and exports to 112+ countries worldwide. With 8,000+ employees and an annual capacity of 100,000 vehicles, batch orders like this five-unit fleet are routine, not a stretch.
This is not an isolated result. CLW has also delivered a 42 CBM, 6-compartment carbon steel fuel tank semi-trailer to a major petrochemical buyer in Tanzania. To see the scale behind these projects, learn more about CLW’s factory and 20+ years of expertise.
FAQ
What is a 60 CBM fuel tanker semi-trailer?
It is a towed trailer with a tank that holds about 60,000 litres of fuel, pulled by a separate truck head. It is used to transport diesel, gasoline and other petroleum products in bulk.
Why choose carbon steel over aluminium?
Carbon steel (Q235) is stronger, easier to repair, and more cost-effective, making it ideal for buyers operating on rough roads and tight budgets.
Can the 6 compartments carry different fuels at the same time?
Yes. Each compartment is sealed and independent, so one trailer can transport several fuel grades on a single trip.
Can CLW customize the axles, compartments or volume?
Yes. Axle count, compartment layout, tank thickness and total volume can all be tailored to your local road regulations and cargo needs.
Does CLW handle export shipping to Georgia and the Caucasus?
Yes. CLW arranges Ro-Ro, bulk or flat rack shipping and supports export documentation to 112+ countries.
