Single-axle slurry tanker ALPINA2

vacuum

Alpina2: as its name suggests, it is in the mountains that this tanker feels at home. Thanks to its low centre of gravity, optimum tank diameter, light weight and reasonable capacity (from 6,000 l to 8,000 l), this slurry tanker is versatile, regardless of the direction of the slope. It can be fitted with the Garda/Julia pump system with a spreading gun to spread in every nook and cranny, over hedges or on mountainsides. Narrow Machine The Alpina2 is a slurry tanker that is very often used in mountainous regions. Its reduced width (often < 2.55 m) makes it an "all-purpose" tanker, typically adapted to the sometimes extremely narrow traffic conditions in the mountains. The 7100S and 8000S models are standard fitted with a wheel recess, thereby ensuring a maximum width of 2.55 m, even with tyres of 800 mm wide. The wheel recess is compatible with “large wheels” with a diameter up to 1,500 mm (e.g.: 800/45R30.5) and is always somewhat larger than the wheel to be able to move the bolted axle and ensure an ideal load distribution. Low Centre of Gravity In order to guarantee a low centre of gravity, which is extremely important in hilly regions, all Alpina2 have a small diameter and are therefore slightly extended. The small tank diameter (Ø 1,400 mm for 6000S and Ø 1,500 mm for the other models) combined with the rear position of the axle means that the centre of gravity is kept low without impacting the maneuverability. Furthermore, the cradle structure, installed underneath the tank, is not present on the entire length of the tanker so as not to cause an unnecessary heightening: in the mountains, every centimeter counts!
