With this new design, manufacturing times are reduced

Surtruck has just launched a new type of octagonal irrigation tank on the market. This is a new design that goes beyond the oval shape for a very clear reason: to reduce labour and therefore speed up delivery times. The work that has been done to manufacture the model has been a complete success and the new tank is manufactured with the same materials, designed and tested by Surtruck’s R+D department, so it can be said that the first unit of this new generation of tanks has been delivered.

According to the Commercial Director of Limpieza Vial, Antonio J. Venegas, “we have delivered to BROTA Parques y Jardines de Alicante, a contract managed by STV Gestión, an irrigation tank with very powerful equipment, which is mounted on a Mercedes Actros S/M 1827 L 4×2″.

The cistern has the following features:

• A multi-stage pump of 30m3/h and 6 kg/cm2 driven by power take-off.
• Direct connection of the pump to the PTO at the vehicle’s gearbox
• Water distribution piping inside the tank
• Pressure outlet on the right side
• Mains inlet on the right side of the vehicle with 70 mm diameter Barcelona fitting and 70/45 reducer
• Gravity discharge on the right side of the vehicle with 70 millimetre diameter Barcelona connection
• Lance for medium pressure adjustable jet pressure
• Rear anti-slip ladder
• Folding protection rails on the roof of the vehicle
• Tool drawer on the side of the vehicle
• One amber rotating beacon on the cab.
• Anti-underrun bar in accordance with legislation.
• Articulated side protection bars.
• Painting of the equipment in the colour of the chassis, including epoxy treatment and surface enamel paint.
