Calling All Fabricators: TRANSCAER Seeks Vendor for New Hazmat Training Trailer Prop
June 18, 2025
By: Erica Fischer, Director, Training, Outreach and Partnerships
TRANSCAER is excited to announce an open Request for Quote (RFQ) for a Cargo Trailer Rollover Training Prop, designed to enhance hazmat training for highway and rail response.
We’re looking to partner with an experienced fabricator to design and build a portable training trailer that simulates realistic hazmat scenarios including rollover events, valve and dome leaks, bonding/grounding mishaps, and more.
This prop will be utilized to provide immersive, scenario-based training for first responders, with particular emphasis on hazmat incidents involving cargo tank trailers.
The prop should include:
- Leak simulations from multiple fittings
- Flammable gas dome and corrosive chemical housings
- Bonding and grounding features
- Onboard air system for leak simulations
- Confined space entry point
- Optional chlorine one-ton training end
- Mounted on a towable trailer for maximum mobility
- Corrosion-resistant build and custom decals
We have a current total budget of $148,795, which includes fabrication, materials, delivery, and branding.

Extended Deadline
We welcome proposals until Friday, August 29.
