A new range of nurse tanks has been launched by Tramspread, offering capacities of 45, 70 and 90cu m.
“The addition of the nurse tanks further bolsters our comprehensive range,” says Tramspread’s sales manager James Peachey. “It’s a product which we previously haven’t offered but we have been asked for. As slurry and digestate handling is what we specialise in, it made sense to offer our own range. They are competitively priced, and we feel they will be well-received by the market.
“The tanks have some noteworthy features. Using an axle running through the container requires a channel to allow the slurry to pass between the two sections which can become blocked, effectively creating a segmented tank.
“Our tanks use an individual hydraulic lift and lower axle design, featuring hydraulic suspension and full air braking, with the wheels recessed into each side leaving a clear central section. This makes it far easier to position and use the tank, knowing you can pump from either the front or the back.”
All three models use a hydraulically pivoting drawbar, making them easier to manoeuvre through gateways or position on sloping ground. The running gear comprises ten-stud wheels with 385/65R22.5 tyres and air brakes.
The standard unit also includes a plexiglass sight gauge, internal and external ladders, LED lights and beacons. Tramspread states that it will offer virtually any combination of inlet and outlet port, including up and over pipes and a docking funnel for suction arms.
“The tanks can be equipped to suit virtually any application,” adds James. “For example, inlet and outlet ports at the front and back may be needed for working with an umbilical system, or a tank might simply be used as a container for blowing into and sucking out of with tankers.”
