Where Can You Find Equipment for Moving Hot Liquid Asphalt?

As much asphalt is used to pave streets, lots and highways across the United States, contractors require the appropriate equipment for storing and transporting that asphalt. After all, liquid asphalt must be kept under precise conditions to preserve its effectiveness in commercial, industrial and residential paving. So, how is liquid asphalt transported, and what do you need to do it? When it comes to loading, unloading, and storing hot liquid asphalt, E.D. Etnyre & Co. has the tanks you need to do so effortlessly. Reach out to Etnyre today to discuss our asphalt storage and transportation options.

Important Considerations for Keeping Liquid Asphalt

Paving contractors getting their start will realize the demand for paving jobs can quickly outpace your capacity for asphalt production and storage. However, with the right tanks and tankers, it’s entirely within the realm of possibility to keep up with the asphalt paving demands of any community. As long as you can manage the heating, volume, and movement of liquid pavement, you can handle the challenges of any commercial or residential paving project.

  • Heating
    • Ensuring your asphalt is always ready for use requires consistent heating. Typical asphalt emulsions comprise 55% and 75% asphalt, with the remainder being water and a stabilizing chemical. This means the temperatures of an asphalt mixture must be constantly kept above freezing but below the boiling point. Etnyre’s tanks and tankers are specially designed with heating capabilities that allow continuous heating of liquid asphalt.
  • Volume
    • As mentioned, the demand for asphalt paving anywhere in the U.S. is high. Asphalt pavement must always be maintained, and communities are continually growing and expanding, requiring access via paved roadways. As such, having access to a large volume of asphalt proves advantageous when taking on numerous paving projects. Thanks to Etnyre’s expansive asphalt storage equipment, contractors can store up to 7,000 gallons of liquid asphalt per tank.
  • Transportation
    • A lot of good your liquid asphalt will do if you can’t effectively get it to a job site! That’s where Etnyre’s tankers and asphalt distributors come into play. Our standard tankers are equipped with specialized heating components and pumps that make transporting, loading, and unloading liquid asphalt a breeze. Furthermore, if you require equipment for spraying liquid asphalt evenly over pavement surfaces, our distributors can do it all!
