Slurry and digestate management specialists Tramspread have launched a new range of nurse tanks. Three models are offered, with holding capacities of 45m³, 70m³ and 90m³.
“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,” continues James. “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.”
The new Tramspread nurse tanks all use a hydraulically-pivoting drawbar which is especially handy when negotiating awkward uneven gateways or positioning the tank in undulating terrain. Generous ground clearance is provided, and the running gear consists of 10-stud wheels with 385/65R22.5 tyres and air brakes.
Standard specification includes a substantial plexiglass sight gauge, internal and external aluminium access ladders, LED lights and beacon, and reflectors. Virtually any combination and type of inlet and outlet ports can be specified, including up and over pipes and a docking funnel for suction arms. As standard the tanks are supplied with one 6” or 8” blind flange. Other options include a sump recess, and most customer requirements can be catered for.
“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.”
Prices start from £30,000 plus delivery for the basic 45m³ model.
