| 20150291133 | MOBILE SYSTEM FOR REPLACING REMOVABLE FUEL TANKS - The present patent application relates to a mobile or removable system of fuel tanks for lorries, for example large-size lorries such as those used in the mining industry. The invention specifically relates to a system comprising a tank-carrying device used to transport the empty or full fuel tanks to and from a fuel distribution centre and from the lorries to be supplied with fuel. Said system also comprises a facility arranged in the lorries, that enables the tanks to be removed from the lorries. This facility can be completely new or an adaptation of the anchoring system that lorries currently have for fixing the tanks, on the condition that said anchoring system comprises a mechanism of mobile guides for positioning and removing the tank rapidly. The problem solved by the invention relates to the cost, time and risk involved in the traditional way of loading the fuel into the lorries provided with a fixed tank, especially large-size lorries such as those used in mining. The same concept can also be used for fuel storage tanks for the personal consumption of companies, whether in the town, in rural areas or in areas that are difficult to access. In this way, fuel facilities do not need to be built below or above ground, the current concept being replaced with a removable tank adapted to current fuel distribution tanker lorries, special trailers and tank-carriers, enabling the fuel tanks to be completely removable from the structure of the lorry. The system can be used for transporting both full fuel tanks and empty fuel tanks to be filled in plants or distribution centers. | 10-15-2015 |
