'''Tank Transportation''' is a specialized road vehicle for the transport of tanks, to and from the battlefield or during peacetime. They are necessary to limit the mileage of the tracked vehicles and also to reduce wear on road surfaces which can easily be damaged by such heavy vehicles. Tank transportion also use less fuel than tracked vehicles and may have a higher road speed if provided with a good road network. | |||
They may also be used for wheeled armoured cars, or for unarmoured tracked vehicles, though the advantages of using transporters are usually less substantial in these cases. | |||
The transportation tanks are suitable for a range of applications but are primarily designed to transport liquid chemicals such as oil, methanol, fuels, glycol, inhibiters and any compatible chemicals to and from offshore platforms, however they are equally suited to transporting chemicals by road or rail. | |||
