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.
