The Livakka Light 1- and 2-axle slurry tankers were designed to replace the standard Livakka pendulum bogie model. The new ‘farmer line’ tankers offer state-of-the-art features and a wide variety of optional accessories, which also makes them extremely well suited to demanding contractor applications.
The name ‘Light’ refers to a new frame construction which reduces the total weight of the tanker. However, this lightness in no way compromises the tanker’s durability. A formed, high-profile U-profile is used as the frame member. The U-profile with 10 mm wall thickness is welded to the tank with a uniform seam. Full penetration welding and robust supports make the joint between the tank and the frame bar extra strong. The drawbar is the same as in larger H-frame tankers.
The low total weight, axle structure and short overall length make the slurry tanker nimble, but stable both in the field and on the road.
The Light slurry tankers’ new frame construction reduces the total weight of the tanker, thus helping to protect the field. However, this lightness in no way compromises the tanker’s durability. A formed, high-profile U-profile is used as the frame member. The U-profile wall thickness is 10 mm, and it is welded to the tank with a uniform seam. The drawbar is made of 150x250x8 tubular steel.
The tank is 2000 mm in diameter and made of 6 mm plate. The round structure makes the tank strong, fully emptiable and easy to clean, as there are no extra edges or corners to collect dirt and slurry. Compartment plate and baffle plates in the front section of the tank provide extra reinforcement and restrain slurry movement.
