Food Grade Trailer in Chicago, IL

Transporting edible liquids requires precision equipment that safeguards product integrity while meeting strict regulatory standards. That’s where Matlack Leasing comes in. We offer DOT-407 food grade tankers designed for the clean transport of dairy, sweeteners, juices, syrups, and other bulk consumables across the country.

Built with stainless steel barrels, sanitary fittings, and optional in-transit heat systems, our food grade tankers ensure your cargo remains safe, uncontaminated, and temperature-stable from point A to point B. Whether you’re serving food manufacturers, beverage processors, or bulk liquid distributors, a Matlack’s food grade trailer meets the hygiene and reliability standards that your customers and regulators expect.

Designed for Food Safety and Performance

Every DOT-407 food grade trailer in our fleet is constructed with product-contact surfaces that meet FDA and 3-A sanitary requirements. Features like stainless steel vessels, CIP (Clean-In-Place) compatibility, and smooth interior finishes reduce the risk of cross-contamination and simplify wash procedures between loads.

We also offer trailers with steam coils or in-transit heating systems for temperature-sensitive cargo, along with rear and bottom discharge valves to support various offloading configurations. Trailers are equipped with sanitary seals, calibrated pressure gauges, and vapor recovery systems to minimize loss and improve quality assurance.
