Hi-Spec - Model SA-R -Slurry Tanker
The SA-R range of vacuum tankers features premium single-axle recessed slurry tankers for farmers and contractors alike. The SA-R tanker range is designed to meet every farmer’s and most contractors’ needs. Additional features include a swivel hitch with a sprung drawbar for maximum operator comfort. In addition, the barrel of the SA-R tankers is recessed to include large radial tyres, which provide low rolling resistance and a more significant footprint to reduce soil damage.
The capacities of the SA-R range from 1350 to 3000 gallons (6,137 to 13,784 litres). Sizes from 1350 SAR upwards to 2300 come standard on a stepped axle to dramatically lower the overall height of the tanker. Hi-Spec also uses Alliance tyres as standard on these sizes. Alliance tyres are considered premium quality radial for heavy-duty field and hauling jobs. All of the SA-R range is manufactured using 6mm high-quality British steel. Collared dished ends are inserted into the barrel, along with the addition of internal baffle plates and anti-implosion rings to give a strong finish. In addition, the double-folded chassis that supports each SA-R tanker in four key areas underneath the barrel is unique to Hi-Spec. This means that the entire underside of the barrel is fully supported across both the entire width and the length of the tank. This reduces stress on the barrel and helps to minimise weak points.
Stepped Axle
SA-R models from 1350 to 2300 gallons come standard on a stepped high speed commercial axle. This results in the rear of the tanker being lower to the ground than competitor’s models, leading to increased stability and safety on the road or on sloped grounds. The stepped axle is fitted with 420×180 hydraulic brakes as standard to increase stopping power. Air brakes can also be specified to further improve braking efficiency. HiSpec use Alliance wheels as standard on our SA-R range to further improve stability.
Jurop Pump
A Jurop vacuum pump is fitted as standard across the SA-R tanker range. Jurop is a high-quality pump designed and manufactured in a state-of-the-art factory in Italy. Jurop pumps are recognised as the fastest and most potent vacuum pumps available today. Each pump is assembled according to Jurop’s methodical standards and is carefully tested and checked. PTO-driven as standard, Jurop pumps provide the most efficient method of filling or emptying your slurry tank. Jurop pumps have a worldwide reputation for quality and minimal maintenance. Parts and services are available locally from your nearest Hi-Spec dealer, and the premium build of Jurop pumps ensures an extremely long working life. Additional pump improvement options can be viewed on our Options page.
Tyres
SA-R models from 1350 to 2300 gallons are fitted standard on 750/70 R26 Alliance tyres (28.1). The unique shoulder design ensures excellent grip and high traction efficiency. The large footprint area reduces ground pressure, minimising compaction and increasing flotation. The 2600 SA-R is fitted on 800/65 R32 Alliance tyres. These are 181 A8 rated for use with increased speed or with the addition of a slurry applicator on the rear of the tanker. Strong radial construction with reinforced beads and sidewalls provide long tyre life. The 3000 SA-R is fitted with a straight axle and 750/60 R30.5 Alliance tyres (181 D). Alliance tyres offer higher load/speed ratings when compared with other tyre manufacturers.
