Steel appeal

摘要

Just over three years ago, as metals costs escalated dramatically and the typical DOT 407 tank trailer doubled in price, Brenner Tank took the initiative to source a new stainless steel for the industry. Ultimately, this led to the introduction of 'Lean Duplex' to the tank trailer industry and Brenner secured the first Special Permit from the US Department of Transportation (DOT) to build DOT 407 specification tanks with this more economical material. Brenner says the switch saved its customers more than $500,000 in the first year.
