ABSTRACT:
A tank wagon for liquid material has interior partitions with dampeners to counteract movement and kenetic energy of the material with respect to the tank in one direction only. In this way, energy can be withdrawn from the liquid material movement during braking for instance, to mitigate adverse effects of such movement. In the embodiment detailed, partitions having openings are closed by hinged flaps during braking. Normally the flaps are gravity-urged to an open position. The tank can be composed of two compartments with different cross sections and length so that a lower and smaller compartment is located directly above a set of wheels. The larger compartment is contiguous with the upper part of the smaller compartment and is angled upwardly and forwardly. Thus, the lowermost portion of the larger compartment can be at the approximate level of the wheel axes.
