Petroleum Tank Corp. has been in business since 1954, and has been under the current ownership since 1990. The company originally manufactured its own vessels, but discontinued the process in 1988. We are currently buying Trinity Industries barrels and mounting them on either a customer supplied chassis, or a chassis from our Dealer inventories.

Our company is located 30 miles due east of Raleigh, NC just off Exit #107 of Interstate 95 at Kenly, NC.(map) The plant is located on approximately 4 acres of land, and our manufacturing and repair facility includes approximately 15,000 square feet of shop under roof. We also maintain a parts warehouse and “over the counter” sales facility at this location that covers another 5000 square feet.

All of the mounting, equipping, welding, fabrication, repair, inspection, and calibration are done here at the Kenly plant. Our repair facility works on both Bobtails, and transport trailers. We are a full service facility, and regularly perform Hydrostatic and Black Light inspections of both the trailers and Bobtails. We are registered with the Federal D. O. T. (CT0094) to perform all of the 49 CFR 178.337 inspections (V. I. P. K.), and hold the ASME “R” stamp certification to make any welding repairs, or modifications as required by the ASME code. We also have a DCE (Design Certifying Engineer – CT7749) who is a full time employee of the company, which gives us engineering design, certification, and weight distribution capabilities.

Currently we have the production capability to produce 120 plus units per year. Should the production need grow our labor market is such that we would be able to add skilled employees with ease. We manufacture our own platforms for each Bobtail, which meets the design requirements of the 49 CFR. These platforms, coupled with the PETCO design of the Trinity tanks gives us a unique “low profile” for the operating equipment. This equates to driver convenience, and speed of operation.
