Building a new Lube/Service trailer. Let's see yours.

[Coyote]

Building a new Lube trailer to replace our old one of 15 years. Looking for any ideas that I might have missed.

Old trailer. 14' 3500# axles.

New trailer. 16', 5000# axles, extra headroom.

Current plan
2- 100gal custom alum oil tanks w/air operated pumps Blue
2- hose reels Green
1- 50 gals waste tank removable
air Compressor Yellow
12V lighting
more shelving above each tank Purple
Able to fit pallet between tanks

What's the intended service and schedule for this rig?

why a 50 gal waste tank when you can just have a place to strap a steel drum?
sludge accumulation and the bottom rusting out aren't concerns then

Fabing up the waste oil tank now. Reason for not using a drum is so we can handle it easier to bring right to the work area or disposal tank at the shop. I'll share later when it's done.

I've thought about adding a bunch of... on a boiler they'd be called 'staybolts' to my tanks, then I could pressurize them to drain and vacuum them to fill without the sides ballooning out or collapsing in

pretty much just rod fed through holes drilled/burned in opposing sides, then burnt off and welded flush
figure the density/pattern of them depending in pressure you expect, probably only need one in the middle of a 2x2 square face for 15 psi/vacuum
