Old to New Tankers
More often than not, the chassis/cab portion of a tanker truck is by far the most expensive part. It therefore makes sense to consider mounting brand new tanker equipment on to good quality used chassis ( & perhaps avoiding any IVA costs & time as a consequence).
Pristine Volvo - refurbished, fully checked & serviced, MOT’d for 12 months with good tyres, batteries, glass & lights & even refurbished seats too. Not forgetting of course …. one brand new Buckingham 3,100 gallon twin compartment Vacuum Sludge Tanker with water wash facility, plenty of storage & lighting & finish painted in client’s colour.
From a donor Volvo FL 6x2 26 ton gross Fridge Lorry, reasonable mileage.
Client's can provide their own chassis, or we can source sound low mileage examples to start with, arrange for existing bodies to be removed, alter wheelbases if required, shot blast & repaint wheels & chassis, replace tyres, refurbish cabs inside & out, even upgrade emission procedures if required, arrange full servicing & provide fresh MOT's.
Another variation of our 'old to new' policy is where we transfer existing tanker equipment on to brand new chassis/cabs, after ultra-sound testing the barrel quality & thickness; or lastly, where a used chassis & barrel are in good shape, & we then strip off all ancillaries & replace items as necessary to a standard the client requires. Procedures here could involve dent filling the cab & repaint, shot blasting barrel, wheels & chassis & repaint, replace rear mud wings, hose trays & rear bumper, refurbishing exhauster, drive, cut outs & valves etc ... resulting in a tanker that performs & looks virtually brand new!
