VACUUM TANKER DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
OUR design philosophy
Each vacuum tanker application is unique, and each customer has different operational requirements.
Our design approach focuses on the operation the tanker needs to perform, volume and payload optimization, efficiency, usability and reliability. Customer preferences from the cab chassis and vacuum pump to lighting, toolboxes, hose trays and safety requirements are all considered to ensure each tanker is fit for purpose and built to last.
Need a bespoke vacuum tanker? Our engineering team can design one for you.
ATE manufactures rigid mounted, dangerous goods, low clearance, rigid and dog trailer combinations, semi-trailer and hook lift vacuum tankers.
Our vacuum tankers are used across any industry which has a requirement for liquid vacuum loading. Applications include vacuum loading of industrial liquid waste, hazardous liquids, sewer and stormwater, grease traps, septic systems, effluent management and emergency response (flooding etc).
Absolutely. We take pride in designing tankers to meet customer expectations!
Each vacuum tanker can be configured to suit your operational requirements, including barrel capacity, chassis, trailer configuration, vacuum system, hydraulic equipment, rear door arrangements, discharge systems and ancillary equipment.
Yes. ATE specialises in the design and manufacture of Dangerous Goods vacuum tankers, with configurations engineered to meet the applicable requirements of AS2809 and the Australian Dangerous Goods Code where required.
Our barrels are built to last. We offer aluminium, carbon steel and stainless steel in 8mm thickness. Barrels comply with AS1210 and can be matched to the intended product and operating environment.
Liquid ring pumps, positive displacement blowers and application-specific vacuum systems. Vacuum pumps can be PTO or auxiliary-engine driven. ATE’s preferred vacuum pump solution for a liquid vacuum loading tanker is a liquid ring vacuum pump due to its liquid handling ability, dangerous goods compliance, robustness, lower maintenance and lower noise.
ATE offer a wide range of options including hydraulic tipping, rear opening doors, hose reels and washdown systems. We also fit accessories such as toolboxes, lighting, and safety systems.
ALUMINIUM VACUUM TANKER BARRELS
ALUMINIUM BARREL SPECIALISTS
ATE manufactures aluminium vacuum tanker alongside our road fuel tankers, providing greater control over quality, engineering and manufacturing throughout the build process.
Aluminium barrels are suitable for compatible non-abrasive liquid waste applications and offer several advantages over steel barrels.
- Lighter weight material allows for larger barrel sizes and increased payload. This leads to lower operating costs and a higher return on your investment for each load.
- Excellent corrosion resistance.
- Extended service life in appropriate operating environments.
AS2809 DANGEROUS GOODS VACUUM TANKER SPECIALISTS
