The Alpine tanker design is based on the contractor LGP speci cation, but with a dropped axle to give a low centre of gravity. This results in less ground pressure than standard axle tankers and minimal ground damage even in wet conditions. There are three sizes available: 2150, 2300 and 2670 gallons. As with all MAJOR tankers, the inside is baf ed to prevent
wave motions and improve operator safety.
- 6mm drum for increased strength
- Full length heavy duty chassis independent of the tanker to ensure even transfer of the load
- In addition to internal supports, there are extra supports running directly between the wheels hubs to increase strength on the stepped axle and prevent flexing
- Unique industrial specification stepped axle to lower the centre of gravity for greater stability. This also reduces wear on the tyres by up to 25%.
- The tanker is fully baffled to prevent wave motions for smoother and safer towing.
- Rubber buffer system on the drawbar to prevent cracking and extend the life of the tanker
