The tank will be used to store fog seal, which is a light spray application of diluted asphalt emulsion used primarily to seal an existing asphalt roadway surface to reduce raveling and to enrich dry and weathered surfaces. The auto-loader will be used in lifting the steel surface storage container from a trailer to ground level or in loading the container to be transported with ease. This eliminates the need to utilize a crane in loading or unloading the tank.
