Stainless Steel Fleet

Our fleet is built with stainless steel grades 304 and 316L, allowing us to transport a wide range of products with the highest standards of purity and safety. Grade 316L provides superior corrosion resistance for aggressive acids and solvents, making it essential for pharmaceutical products, concentrated acids, and high-purity chemicals.

Tank Trucks (Autotanques)

Stainless steel tanker units for bulk liquid transport: chemicals, acids, solvents, oils, food-grade products, and purified water. Capacities from 12,000 to 45,000 liters adapted to each client’s volume requirements.

Semi-Trailer Tanks

High-capacity tank trailers (~78 units, 26,000–45,000 liters) for long-distance routes and high-volume operations across Mexico.

Rigid Trucks (Tortones)

Smaller capacity units (~26 units, 12,000–20,000 liters) ideal for urban deliveries, plants with restricted access, or partial volume loads. Some units hold Kosher certification.

Dry Box Trucks and Flatbeds

Dry box trailers (43–48 ft) and flatbeds (20–37 tons) for general cargo and palletized products that complement our liquid bulk transport operations.

ISO Tanks (Isotanques)

Intermodal containers for bulk liquid transport by road. ISO tanks provide a versatile solution for chemicals that require specialized containment during long-distance transport operations.

TRESAL transports Class 3 hazardous materials (flammable liquids) and Class 8 (corrosives) across all of Mexico. Our fleet handles products such as sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), acetic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, formic acid, acetic anhydride, and over 60 bulk chemical products. We also transport bulk food-grade products and general cargo (glycerin, monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, vinegars, juices) in sanitized stainless steel 304 and 316L tank trucks. For clients with continuous cargo flow we offer dedicated equipment for a single product and single client, with TRESAL operating the freight with nationwide coverage from our bases in Cuautitlán Izcalli (Mexico City) and San Luis Potosí. We complement transport with interior tank truck washing (including kosher washing), Federal Category E driver training, and roadside emergency response.
