Understanding DOT 406, DOT 407, and MC331 Trailers
Choosing the correct tank trailer starts with understanding the applicable DOT specification.

DOT 407 Tank Trailers
DOT 407 trailers are designed for transporting a broad range of chemicals and hazardous materials. These trailers are frequently built with stainless steel barrels and are commonly used throughout the chemical industry.
MC331 Propane Trailers
MC331 trailers are pressure vessels designed for transporting propane, LPG, anhydrous ammonia, and certain compressed gases. These units are engineered to handle pressurized products safely and efficiently.
