Buying a lorry...
Discussion
Couldn't find a "lorry" forum so hopefully this will do!
I'm thinking about buying a stainless steel tanker trailer.
I currently buy a product in IBCs but it is significantly cheaper to buy it in bulk and dispense into the IBCs myself. The delivery companies won't put it into IBCs for me, so I'm going to need a tank.
Rather than a great big 30000 litre tank, I'm thinking about an artic tanker trailer. I'd be able to move it about with a tractor and dolly wheel this way and they look to be cheaper.
Does this seem like a sensible idea, and does anyone have any suggestions of what to look for in a tanker trailer. It will be parked permantently on private property so it won't need an MOT, be good if it didn't leak though. An old fuel or milk tanker be ok? Looks like you can pick them up for £6-7k.
Cheers

It could do with being relatively clean but wouldn't have to be spotless.
It would need to be a sealed vessel and need to take about 28,000 litres - would also have to be stainless steel. I can't find a stainless steel tank anywhere near as cheap as some of these tanker trailers are, hence my idea.

I've just been thinking, maybe it doesn't need to be stainless or metal. Plastic could potentially be OK - I will do some research

Cheaper too, and less hassle.
Always good talking these things through with randomers!
