Esve BAKER MIX TANK

The register lists five versions with unladen weights from 10,660 to 15,910 kg, a gross weight of 22,000 kg, lengths from 11,210 to 12,110 mm and widths from 2,510 to 2,530 mm.

Tank trailers of this kind carry liquids and paste-like substances from the food, chemical and agricultural industries; the double shell and heated variants serve temperature-sensitive or viscous cargo, while the Open Top suits bulk material and open-container loads. As tank trailers are usually approved for a specific product group, traceability of cleaning and inspection records also matters when buying and operating them, especially in the food and chemical sectors.

When buying a used example, what matters is the condition of the tank shell and welds, the tightness of valves and manhole covers, the function of the stirrer or steam coils, the state of the insulation, and the axles, brakes and tyres. Spare parts for the tank bodies usually come directly from the manufacturer, while axle and brake components come from common suppliers such as BPW or SAF. On heated variants it is also worth testing the temperature control and checking the steps and handrails at the manhole.
