Last week, a long-time friend in Ethiopia purchased a number of cement tankers, with the intention of modernizing his cement transport operations. He had long been looking for an opportunity to upgrade his fleet and expand into the cement tanker transport business. His focus was on Chinese cement tankers, known for their cost-effectiveness and quality, but few suppliers could meet his considerable demand within his tight time frame. A colleague then introduced him to us, and he immediately shared his urgent purchase plan.
To ensure significant savings, we thoroughly discussed various aspects such as tanker truck models, tank configurations, loading speed, and transport frequency. In the end, we decided on 3-axle, 50-ton cement tankers. We agreed on a six-month manufacturing lead time and offered a 2-year warranty for the quality of the tankers.
The delivery process went smoothly, and since then, he has ordered several models of semi-trailers annually to grow his business. In a sense, our semi-trailers have played a significant role in the evolution of his business.
He once shared how they initially transported cement using bags and trucks, a method fraught with challenges that slowed the company's growth. After careful calculations, he found that buying cement tankers was not only affordable, but also more cost-effective in the long run.
Before ordering, it is crucial to keep in mind three salient features of cement tankers:
First, sealed tankers and pipelines protect the cement from moisture, drastically reducing loss rates and increasing the profit per trip.
Secondly, the automatic loading and unloading process, driven by air pressure, provides a constant work flow, increases efficiency and ensures safer operations. This system eliminates the need for manual labor, thus reducing personnel costs.
Finally, transporting cement in tanker trucks can prevent dust contamination in your factory. The completely sealed system keeps dust contained, reducing dust in your facility and in your respiratory system. As a result, you can save on protective equipment costs and protect your health more effectively.
