Fuel Efficiency Advantage
Aluminum tanker trailers offer superior fuel economy. European Aluminum Association research shows 0.6L of gasoline saved per ton every 10km. A 5t lighter aluminum tanker traveling 12,000km annually saves at least 1800L of fuel compared to steel.
Applications
- Fuel tanks
- Truck-trailer side panels and cabs
- Road signs
- Kitchen cabinets
- Small boats
Available Forms
We supply 5052 aluminum in sheet, plate, and coil forms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the differences between 5052 and 6061 aluminum?
A: Both 5052 and 6061 offer lightweight strength and corrosion resistance. 5052 excels in formability and bending without cracking, while 6061 can be heat treated and extruded into various shapes.
