Spread your muck!

Crossland Tankers has launched a road-going slurry tanker capable of holding 6,600 gallons to meet increasing demand to move slurry by truck rather than by agricultural tractor. The trailer is designed to empty slurry tanks and take their contents to the field for spreading by farm tractor. A single lever controls the discharge speed and direction, and the valves are manually operated. It weighs 7,900kg and runs on BPW axles.

Electronic solutions company VEV made its show debut talking to visitors about the path to electrifying fleets.

The Vitol-owned business, launched in April this year, uses operators’ data to calculate how to reduce their carbon footprint. This data is used to establish the viability of electric trucks and to explore installing renewable energy sources on site, such as solar panels.
