Bobtails
At Arrow Tank and Engineering Co we understand the importance of having a daily delivery truck that is dependable, efficient with safety in mind. We take pride in the longstanding reputation we have for building quality. Our bobtail designs implement real world feedback that comes from the people who operate them.
We use only the highest quality components and strive to make improvements that will ensure top performance, driver efficiency, longevity, and safety in the harshest environments. The manufacturers we have chosen to partner with have assisted us in selecting chassis specifications that consider driver comfort and safety while ensuring they are ready for the daily demands of varying delivery routes.
In 2025 we made the leap to improve our deck and fender design. The Deckline 3.0 is built from Arrow’s original platform design that has a proven track record of durability and protection going back over 50 years. The sleek design of the 3.0 expands on those principles while implementing modern manufacturing techniques and superior corrosion resistance provided by T304 stainless steel.
Many have discovered what makes our bobtails the best and we welcome you to come see for yourself.

STORAGE VESSELS
Arrow Tank and Engineering Co began fabricating LPG and NH3 storage vessels in the 1960. Through many decades of evolution, our Custom Fabrication Division has grown to become a leader in producing large volume heavy wall high pressure vessels. We are continuously investing in new equipment and expanding the plant in our quest to better serve our customers with the highest quality standards and commitment to on time delivery.
Somewhat unique to Arrow Tank is our own state of the art post weld heat treatment (PWHT) oven onsite that not only serves our needs, but those of many other manufacturers in the United States and Canada. With regard to LPG and NH3, PWHT is required for quenched and tempered (QT) LPG and NH3 transport vessels. Storage vessels intended for NH3 service are also stress relieved in the oven.
We are capable of building storage capacities in 18K, 30K, 45K, 60K, 90K, 120K or larger. When it comes to capacity we are ready for the task.

LP Gas Equipment Manufacturer Since 1957
Arrow Tank & Engineering Company was formed in 1957 to manufacture storage containers mainly for the oil and gas industry. Our core products included above and below ground storage tanks, water tanks and trucks, liquid fuel tank trucks, propane gas tank trucks, propane transports and large storage tanks.
Initially this all took place in a modest manufacturing facility located in Edina, MN. A surge in demand for our products during the 1960’s prompted the construction of a new state of the art 80,000 square-foot plant in Eagan, MN. This new facility provided the environment to produce 150 complete new trucks per year.
As the times changed, so did the business plan. In 1971 Arrow Tank relocated the main fabrication plant to Cambridge, MN. Today Arrow employs over 170 people with all cargo tank fabrication, bobtail assembly, service and parts located at our Cambridge plant under approximately 165,000 square-feet of production space.
Thanks to the support of owners and operators like yourselves we are approaching the 70-year mark in building bobtails for the propane industry. We do not take this for granted as we continue to improve and build the highest quality bobtails on the market.
