Richard Western Nurse Tank

With all new equipment having to justify its cost and owner/managers making a sound investment for futureproofing, the Richard Western NT50 should be an easy decision for an operation harvesting silage or carrying out umbilical slurry work.  Also, with the added advantage of government grants available for 50 cubic meter nurse tanks.

Nurse Tank NT50 has 4 inlet/outlets and top-to-bottom sight glasses, full-opening high clearance hydraulic rear tailgate and a hydraulic tipping body allowing any sediment to be just tipped out. The NT50 is dual-use with applications such as deep-sided silage trailer with a 200mm tapered body or silage work. The hydraulic tailgate has a double B seal all around plus cattle clamps to make the trailer liquid-tight.

The NT50 tri-axle model comes standard with BPW axles with rear steering and can have an optional front steer axle. The recommended tyre size is the 600/55R26 with a large carrying capacity. This is important as when being used as a stationary nurse tank, the slurry weighs 50 tons plus the weight of the trailer estimated at 10 tons, this weight is carried on the 6 wheels and 2 hydraulic jack legs. The Richard Western hydraulic drawbar is also strongly recommended on all tri-axle trailers as this improves ride and tractor traction on uneven ground.

The finish of the product is complete with a single displacement tipping cylinder. All Richard Western products are shot blasted on site before the 2-pack application of primer and topcoat to protect the product for long life.
