Would like to know what is out there as far as open drop deck trailer designs and also what works for everyone vs what doesn't. We have a 42' drop deck trailer with 2 2100gal tanks on the back along with a 1600gal hopper tank over 5th wheel of semi. We are looking to keep our same trailer but change up the mixing station area a little so it doesn't feel crowded with a couple pallets or totes on it. Also, has anyone ever built large racking above plumbing to set a tote on? If so how did you go about it? Thanks.

We have a 46' drop deck, with a 1500 gallon over the pin and a 3500 horizontal over the back wheels.
I have 3 mixing cones in the middle. All our cones are also plumbed into our chemical bank. We can hook up 3, 250 g shuttles. We run everything through a bank that has water cleanout and electric valves on it. So when you open #1 that goes into tank one. This allows us to pretty much stay on...
Replacing 2 x 2100 tanks with a 3400 horizontal would give you more room. I have stacked a 125 cage mini on top a 250 cage mini to get more products on trailer. Platform scales make for accurate chemical measurements

4’ x 4’ scale with digital display. Set mini on and measure # of chemical. Need to know density of chemical.
Thanks for your input. I’m not apposed to going to a horizontal tank but I do not want to lose water capacity. Also I’m not quite sure what your talking about when you say “platform scales” I haven’t heard of them. Is it a scale that weighs liquid?
Look up Phiber Dash system. The mixing area is a little extra fancy, but the rack built above seems like a top notch idea of you’re building your own rig.
