Thoughtful design and superior build quality put the Hi-Spec range of Vacuum Tankers in a class of their own. All our tankers from 750 gallons (3409 ltrs) to 3,000 gallons (13640 ltrs) use an unique low profile spreading system, this works by using a specially shaped deflection plate to create a fan of slurry less than a metre above the ground, yet it is capable of achieving a spreading pattern up to 12 metres wide. The downward directed plate not only increases controllability, but also decreases air pollution and unpleasant smells.

Design
All tankers with a capacity below 2,000 gallons (9092 ltrs) are manufactured using 5mm high quality British steel, any tankers with a capacity above 2,000 gallons (9092 ltrs) are manufactured using 6mm high quality British steel for extra strength. Internal implosion rings are fitted to all tanks, which are then mounted on a strong chassis frame for maximum support. To ensure effective corrosion protection two coats of paint are applied to all tankers, an anti-corrosive primer and an enamel finish, thus giving a high quality long lasting finish. Alternatively Vacuum Tankers can be galvanised up to and including 1,600 gallon (7279 ltrs).

Features
The Hi-Spec range of Vacuum Tankers come standard with hydraulic brakes, lights, 6" filler and discharge points, 3" (76mm) sight glasses, a blanked off side fill point, 15ft (4.57metres) of 6" suction hose and a 2½" (63mm) washdown adaptor. All tankers including and above 1,350 gallons (6138 ltrs) also have as standard a 6" quick attach suction hose fitting.
On all tankers above 2,300 gallons (10455 ltrs) a sprung drawbar is fitted as standard. This is designed reduce wear to both the tanker and tractor, it does this by eliminating any shock loads being transferred from the tanker drawbar to the tractor pickup hitch.

OPTIONS

Centrifugal System We have available a centrifugal system on our full range of Vacuum Tankers, this combines both a 9,000 ltrs/min vacuum pump and centrifugal pump. Fitted as standard with the centrifugal system is a rain gun, this means that if land conditions prove to be difficult, slurry can be spread using the rain gun from a road alongside. The rain gun can spread slurry over a distance of 295ft (90m) and is able to be rotated hydraulically through 360º from the tractor. A stone trap is also fitted as standard with the centrifugal system, this eliminates the risk of any stones or foreign objects entering and damaging the centrifugal pump. As the system uses a 9,000 ltrs/min vacuum pump the Vacuum Tanker can also be used as standard. Overhead Unloading Boom The ideal option for use in cases where regulations permit that road conditions must be kept clean at all times. The overhead loading boom is for use in the unloading of a Vacuum Tanker into the overhead filling point of a separate tanker. For more information plus illustrations please click here. Sprung Drawbar Available as an option on our 2,000 (9092 ltrs) gallon tankers, the sprung drawbar is designed to reduce wear on both the tanker and tractor. It does this by eliminating any shock loads being transferred from the tanker drawbar to the tractor pickup hitch. Autofill System Our complete range of Vacuum Tankers can also be fitted with an automatic filling system. For more information plus illustrations please click here. Other Options Available ...
