Bulk cement tanker is a kind of vehicle similar to tanker. But it is mainly for the transportation of dry bulk materials. It has different capacities according to different needs.
Genron offers regular cement tankers with a capacity of 25-120 tons. We can also support customization if you have needs for different transportation tasks.
In our previous article, we discussed the capacity of bulk cement tankers in detail. In today’s article, we mainly answer a question that many customers ask: How much does a cement tanker hold? We hope this can help you understand this model in detail to make a better purchasing decision.

Bulk Cement Tanker
Genron’s bulk cement tankers are especially suited for the transportation of powdered materials with a particle diameter of less than 0.1mm. Commonly, particles such as coal ash, cement, lime powder, ore powder, granulated alkali, and so on.
This type of cement tanker works by utilizing an engine to drive an air compressor equipped with the trailer for air compression. This design allows the material to be discharged by compressed air when it reaches its destination. The entire unloading process is extremely easy.
For better durability, Genron’s powder tankers are uniformly made of high-strength stainless steel.
Capacity Range of Cement Tanker Trucks
We have categorized cement tankers into three types according to different transportation needs. This makes it easier for you to find the right model for you.
Small Cement Tankers
With a capacity of around 15-30 cubic meters, small tankers are compact in design. They are ideally suited for small construction projects in cities or for short distance deliveries. Due to their flexibility and ease of operation, these tankers are now ideal for small-scale construction projects.
Medium-sized cement tankers
Medium duty tankers have a capacity range of 30-50 cubic meters and are suitable for medium distance distribution within a region or for medium sized construction projects. These tankers balance capacity and flexibility and are suitable for most medium-sized construction scenarios.
Large Cement Tankers
Large tankers with capacities up to 60-80 cubic meters are typically used for large-scale construction projects or industrial needs. Common examples are bridges, high-rise buildings and large infrastructure projects. These tankers offer efficient transportation capabilities. It also significantly reduces logistics costs and is suitable for long-distance, high-volume transportation.
Application Scenarios of Cement Tanker Trucks
Construction industry:Cement tankers play a vital role in the construction industry. They are mainly used for efficient transportation of large quantities of cement to construction sites. This is because their airtight design ensures that the cement is protected from the elements during transportation, providing a stable raw material for concrete mixing.
Cement plant supply chain:In the cement production and supply chain, cement tankers are a key tool in connecting the production and distribution chain. They are responsible for transporting bulk cement from the production site to the distribution point or customer site, enabling fast and efficient logistics support.
Infrastructure construction:Large bridges, roads and other infrastructure projects have a large and concentrated demand for cement. Cement tankers can become the ideal choice for such projects with their large capacity and long-distance transportation capability.
Begin with a bespoke semi-trailer designed for your exact needs. Whether it’s heavy-duty hauling or specialized cargo, we’ve got the perfect solution to keep you moving forward.
How to choose the right cement tanker?
When choosing the right cement tanker, you need to select one based on transportation needs, terrain conditions and regulatory restrictions. Only then, you should also consider the high-performance materials and whether the design is optimized.
Choose capacity according to project needs
- Small cement tanker: suitable for small projects or urban distribution, with a capacity of 15-30 cubic meters.
- Medium-sized cement tanker: suitable for medium-sized construction projects or regional transportation, with a capacity of 30-50 cubic meters.
- Large cement tanker: suitable for large construction projects or industrial needs, with a capacity of 60-80 cubic meters.
Choosing a model in relation to terrain, transportation distances and regulations
- In urban environments choose a flexible, compact tanker for maneuverability.
- For mountainous or complex terrain, choose a powerful model with a stable chassis.
- Comply with transportation regulations, especially restrictions on vehicle size and load capacity.
Consider material and tank design
- Material selection: Aluminum tankers are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for long-distance transport where weight reduction is required. Steel tankers, on the other hand, are durable and suitable for high-intensity work scenarios. Fortunately, Genron can customize both models for you.
- Tank design: Choose a single or multi-compartment design that meets your transportation needs and optimizes loading efficiency and transport safety.
