Tanker lorries: the innovative range by Bonsegna

December 2016 | Back

A range of single axle, tandem and tridem tanker lorries for animal husbandry, olive farms and tertiary companies. These products are offered by Bonsegna of Nardò (Lecce), a company with forty years of experience in the sector of agricultural machinery, with a catalogue that includes trailers with 15 to 200 tonnes capacity. From a technical point of view, the range of tanker lorries designed by the Lecce company is characterized by a sturdy frame with steel I-beams, for the tank with oblique attitude compared to the road surface (so as to optimize the loading and unloading) and for the two vortex filters positioned one above the tank and the other externally; this construction solution, as indicated by the manufacturer with a note, prevents the passage of fluid in the decompressor (capacity from 12,750 to 16,000 litres/min.). The suspensions, however, are available in a mechanical version, tandem/tridem type - offering greater road grip and a uniform distribution of the stresses on the frame - and in a hydraulic version with independent wheels, which give stability, absence of roll and pitch, with constant load on the wheels in every situation of terrain and braking. Equipped with a LED lighting system consisting of alarm beacon, large rear lights, side marker lights and additional lights (maximum visibility during transport), the Bonsegna tanker lorries also stand out for their rich range of options. The machines by the company from Nardò can be configured with a lateral syphon arm operated by double-acting hydraulic cylinders fixed on the frame; load accelerator, applied on the arm and operated hydraulically (it reduces by 30% the time to fill the tank and uniforms the product during filling); Garda Battioni e Pagani group with long-range hydraulic rotation fertigation hose (about 40 metres). The arm and the other components are moved by an electro-hydraulic distributor with emergency levers positioned on the frame, but can also be managed remotely by radio control.
