Crafting a Uniquely-Shaped Tank for a Tight Space
The Client
Schwing America is a Minnesota-based company with over 50 years of experience in designing, manufacturing, and distributing premium concrete production and handling equipment. Known for their commitment to craftsmanship and quality, they needed a custom-designed fuel tank for their trucks that would align with their high standards.
The Challenge
AlumiTank was tasked with designing a fuel tank that would fit into the unique space between the rear tires of Schwing America’s truck chassis. Not only did this space have spatial constraints, but it also placed the tank in a vulnerable position to road debris and impacts.
The Solution
Embracing Schwing America’s ethos of quality and precision, AlumiTank developed a custom diamond-shaped fuel tank.
This innovative design perfectly utilized the limited space between the rear tires and matched Schwing’s high manufacturing standards.
The Method
Recognizing Schwing’s need for durability, AlumiTank applied a protective coating of Rhino lining on the tank ends to provide resistance against the harsh conditions of the road.
In line with Schwing’s approach to efficiency, AlumiTank provided a comprehensive solution—including a custom mounting system and all necessary installation components—to ensure seamless integration into Schwing’s existing fleet.
The Result
The custom-designed tank not only optimized the available space, but it also contributed to the distinctive aesthetic of Schwing’s trucks, mirroring their commitment to producing equipment that customers are proud to own.
The diamond-shaped tank stood as a testament to AlumiTank’s ability to meet specialized, high-quality demands and garnered praise from Schwing America for its functionality and design.
