Sitrak 8x4 27,000 L Class 3 Flammable Liquid Tanker

This four-axle tanker is built for fuel distributors and industrial buyers that move Class 3 flammable liquids such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene over longer highway routes. A 27 m³ tank on a 32,000 kg gross vehicle weight chassis gives one of the highest volumes available on a rigid truck, cutting the number of depot-to-customer trips compared with three-axle tankers.

The Sitrak 8x4 chassis has a 1,800 + 3,975 + 1,400 mm wheelbase and overall dimensions of 11,880 × 2,550 × 3,300 mm, with a 379 hp diesel engine, manual transmission and 12R22.5 18PR tires. Rated payload is 18,065 kg; because fuels are lighter than water, the usable fill depends on the product density and the payload limit. The 5 mm tank can be supplied in 5182 aluminum alloy to reduce tare weight. Loading is by a European-style bottom-loading system with vapor recovery, overfill protection and static grounding, and the emergency shut-off valve includes a voice alarm. Driver-assistance and braking features include EBS, ESC, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, tire pressure monitoring, front disc brakes and tire blow-out protection.

Typical duties include supplying filling stations from fuel depots, delivering diesel to construction, mining and highway projects, and bulk kerosene distribution. Tank material, compartments and dispensing equipment can be specified to suit the products and metering needs of each operator.
