Drop Deck Tank Chassis (empty)

Description
This trailer is a two axle drop deck tank chassis. It was a popular design through the late 1980’s well into the late 1990’s. These trailers were designed to haul the ISO tank container, which is built upon the 20 ft. ISO frame that standard shipping containers use with a steel barrel inside used mostly for hauling bulk liquids or gases. These are built with the same corner castings as boxes and can be quickly locked into the twist locks welded to the end of each tank chassis bolster. Together they make a very effective bulk liquid trailer. The drop deck tank chassis is named that because the “goose neck” portion is significantly lowered to give the chassis a 40″ or 41″ rear deck height (this one is 41"). This lower center of gravity is best for transporting bulk liquids as it reduces the risk of roll overs. Even mainly for a 20 ft ISO tank container, some users also use it to haul a 20 ft ISO dry freight container.

hahahaha... I am sure I raised all the landing gears on my vehicle assets but not on the prop ones. Yeah, you are right.. Making all these assets are pretty much time consuming.. Even though you already made a good asset, what you see in the 3d software is looking different inside the game... I had to get in and out the game several times... tweaking them to look better inside the game... Well, I am in the middle of making something right now.. I hope I can release it this weekend...

NP! We are all glad to have such great assets... at least I am. The time to make, upload, and test is a pain from what I have heard from all the other creators. So, please don't appologize. You have done nothing wrong. I'll be waiting patiently for new assets from you.
I love the Pete trucks... maybe all props? That would be awesome!
Oh, and when a trailer is hooked up to a tractor, (truck cab), the landing gear should be up. Important info for creators that seem to ignore that when making vehicles and/or props.
